Broad receivers typically produce monster performances in PPR leagues, they usually can achieve this with out many splash performs. Our Week 5 fantasy WR PPR rankings are factoring in performances from the primary 4 video games, with a bit of extra weight given to the latest performances. Deciding who to start out and who to sit down at broad receiver generally is a a lot totally different course of in customary vs. PPR, particularly after a month of subpar outings from a couple of stars and notable video games from a couple of potential breakouts.

We’ll need to proceed to guage Pittsburgh’s protection, however they nonetheless must be a prime unit within the NFL. Sadly, the offense has put them in dangerous spots. That mentioned, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick (@ Steelers), who’ve been up and down this yr, could possibly be taking a look at quiet weeks. It stays to be seen who will begin at QB for Denver, however Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is best for each by way of effectivity. Brandin Cooks (vs. Patriots) appeared to be matchup-proof previous to his down efficiency towards the Payments, and we might see a lot of the identical going towards the Pats. Nonetheless, the dangerous climate in Buffalo final week may need been a minimum of a part of the rationale Cooks was held down.

WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Operating again | Broad receiver | Tight finish | D/ST | Kicker

Tyler Boyd (vs. Packers) and Tee Higgins (if wholesome) ought to have good probabilities at large weeks. The Packers have not been capable of cease the go, and Jaire Alexander will probably be tasked with shadowing Ja’Marr Chase. With the entire productive choices Joe Burrow has, he might look Higgins’ and Boyd’s approach typically if Alexander is shutting down Chase. Within the Cardinals-49ers sport, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Rondale Moore, and Christian Kirk all appear like stable choices, although Kirk loses worth in PPR with A.J. Inexperienced rising as a extra frequent goal. The NFC West goes to supply shootouts all yr lengthy. Exterior of the Rams, the complete division has weak secondaries. Corey Davis (vs. Falcons) had an honest sport towards Tennessee, and whereas the Falcons’ protection continues to enhance, they nonetheless do not scare us off any WRs. Jamison Crowder can be a borderline WR3 in PPR in that sport after his spectacular season debut.

WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Operating again | Tight finish | D/ST | Kicker

DeVonta Smith and Jalen Reagor (@ Panthers) are sometimes discovered on the start-or-sit bubble, and despite the fact that the Panthers’ protection was torched towards Dallas, it is the primary time we have seen it occur this yr. It is secure to say anybody of the Eagles’ offense is worrisome, and solely Smith is value trusting this week. The Steelers duo of JuJu Smith-Schuster (vs. Broncos) and Diontae Johnson (vs. Broncos) appear to have their ceilings capped Huge Ben, they usually should not be in line for enormous video games. Nonetheless, as a result of we’re speaking about PPR right here, they need to warrant some form of starter consideration — particularly if Chase Claypool (hamstring) is out once more. Kenny Golladay (@ Cowboys) lastly put up an honest line towards the Saints, however Dallas cornerback, Trevon Diggs is starting to appear like a type of “shutdown” defensive backs. In fact, loads is up within the air with New York’s offense, as Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton each missed final week due to hamstring accidents. We will not say who Diggs can be overlaying, so for now, think about Golladay and Shepard in play as WR3s till additional discover.

We’ll monitor Claypool heading into subsequent week, however we do know Rashod Bateman (vs. Colts), Tre’Quan Smith (@ Washington), and T.Y. Hilton (@ Ravens). Indianapolis is ravenous for WR manufacturing, and Hilton might return straight away to being a goal machine. None of those guys can be must-starts straight away, however in deep leagues, it’s possible you’ll be determined for a wild card at WR. Any of those guys might fill that function. The identical goes for Curtis Samuel (vs. Saints), who made his season debut final week. He must be significantly good in PPR going ahead, particularly with TE target-machine Logan Thomas (hamstring) banged up.

A number of different gamers actually get bumps in PPR leagues, together with Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley (@ Chiefs), Laviska Shenault (@ Titans), Randall Cobb (@ Bengals), DeVante Parker (vs. Broncos), Hunter Renfrow (vs. Bears), and Deonte Harris (@ Washington).

Hopefully, you are completely happy along with your WR manufacturing after the primary month of the season, however as all the time, there is a ton of under-the-radar worth deep within the rankings, particularly as we get a clearer image of the place as an entire.

Observe: We’ll be updating our WR PPR rankings all through the week, so verify again for the most recent participant motion.
