Week 5 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

Joe DiCarlo

Joe, born and raised in Hackensack, NJ, has held a lifelong passion for sports. From a young age, he embraced betting and gambling, achieving early success with his first 5-Leg parlay on the NFL at the age of 14. As an Italian-American, his family affectionately nicknamed him "Cucuzza," a moniker he adopted as his screen name on platforms like DraftKings and FanDuel after sports gambling became legalized in New Jersey in 2018. Professionally, Joe has been an HVAC technician since 1998, spending long days and nights on the road with the radio tuned into sports stations. A dedicated listener of Fantasy Radio on Sirius XM from its inception, he has harnessed this knowledge and passion to excel in NFL Season-Long leagues, Best Ball, and Daily Fantasy Sports. Joe's love for fantasy sports led him to pursue writing, and he proudly became a member of the WinDailySports family, securing an NFL slot as a writer for the platform.
