You will want to look at these 5 players in fantasy football this week.

So far, it has been a somewhat whacky start to the fantasy football season. There has been a good deal of injuries to start the year, ranging from potential lingering issues like the ankle injury sustained to Michael Thomas, or season-threatening circumstances like we saw with Leighton Vander Esch.

Unfortunately, this should not necessarily be surprising. Without even minimal game action in the preseason, players would presumably have some knocks to work through early on.

Another coaching decision we have seen, and specifically with running backs, is changing personnel much more frequently to get players into game shape. This has led to a frustrating start for fantasy football players due to the uncertainty of reps players will get each week.

Therefore, there are some sleepers on the waiver wire for you to build depth. Who are the five players to target in Week 3?
