Welcome back, RotoBallers! Week 5 snuck up on us, and now bye weeks officially begin, starting with the Seahawks, Bucs, Browns, and Chargers. Fantasy managers will look to replace Keenan Allen, DK Metcalf, Amari Cooper, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans (hamstring) this week. Today, we will review our Week 5 half-PPR wide receiver rankings for fantasy football as of October 5th. Our goal, as always, is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players such as Michael Wilson, Wan'Dale Robinson, Romeo Doubs, Braxton Berrios, Michael Gallup, Tyler Boyd, Puka Nacua, Allen Lazard, Jameson Williams, and Nico Collins rank among others.
Our half-PPR fantasy football wide receiver rankings are put together by Nick Mariano.
