Week 5 fantasy football superflex rankings (2QB), as of October 5th, 2023. Set winning lineups with our superflex rankings for QB, RB, WR, TE, FLEX, DST, K.

Welcome RotoBallers! Thursday Night Football is here, and we begin Week 5 with the Commanders taking on the Bears. It's also the beginning of bye weeks, as the Bucs, Seahawks, Chargers, and Browns are off in Week 5. Today, we will review our Week 5 fantasy football superflex rankings (2QB) for fantasy football as of October 5th. For those unfamiliar with superflex leagues, it's a format that allows you to start two quarterbacks but does not require you.

Our fantasy football superflex rankings for Week 5 are put together by Scott Engel. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff. Let's see where key players like Sam Howell, Justin Fields, Jaleel McLaughlin, Michael Wilson, Wan'Dale Robinson, Joshua Dobbs, Curtis Samuel, Jake Ferguson, Logan Thomas, Romeo Doubs, David Montgomery, Christian Watson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jared Goff rank among others.

Be sure to bookmark our fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates.
