Week 5 ranks: QB| RB| WR | TE| K| Team D| Flex
Welcome to Week 5, fantasy fans! It’s the first week with byes, as the Chiefs and Panthers are off. That means you’ll have to prepare for a week of fantasy matchups without Rashee Rice (injured vs. the Raiders), Xavier Worthy, Week 4 star Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.
This week’s rankings include some risers in Michael Wilson and Carnell Tate, and there are a number of good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! We also had several big wideout injuries last week, including Rice, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, DJ Moore and Ladd McConkey, so you’ll have to prepare for some pivots.
Here are my fantasy wide receiver rankings as we head into Week 5. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
