Week 5 Fantasy Football Rankings (PPR)
You can also see our Week 5 ranks for Half-PPR and Standard scoring.
Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This is to allow owners to compare running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for their FLEX spot (without seeing QB, DEF, K mixed in).
