The List: Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 5 UPDATE

Top 150 FLEX and Positional Rankings for Week 5 of Fantasy Football ahead of Sunday's kickoff!

Malik Nabers is out, so Wan’Dale Robinson jumps to WR30. He is a great FLEX play on volume alone this week, as he could flirt with a 35+% target share.

 

Michael Pittman/Josh Downs: Both become viable in PPR formats if Flacco starts (expected, game-time decision), with Pittman at WR18 and Downs at WR23. The matchup is beatable, and with Jonathan Taylor missing time, both pass-catchers should be busy all game long.

 

Khalil Shakir is set to miss Week 5. In his absence, Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid should see more targets. I am not throwing Coleman in my lineups no matter what though. He is my WR33 on the week with such a wide range of outcomes, but he does have some BOOM potential if you are in a bind and need an upside FLEX play. Kincaid is the player who should benefit most from Shakir’s missing time.

 

Romeo Doubs could miss Week 5, and this is on top of Christian Watson already being expected to miss a few weeks. This pushes Dontayvion Wicks to WR22. Wicks is a do-it-all player who can run a complete route tree and win at every level of the field. A popular breakout candidate this offseason, Wicks could be in for a strong week.
