Fantasy football managers, we have a problem. Week 5 has hit us like a Vita Vea brick wall.
Coming off a week where Matthew Stafford and Dak Prescott were the top point scorers, the volatile QB position is now being wrecked by injuries and the first set of bye weeks. Brock Purdy and likely Lamar Jackson are out. J.J. McCarthy will miss another game. Jordan Love and Caleb Williams are on bye. Jayden Daniels is set to return, but may not be at 100%.
Is there any hope of finding a capable replacement? It’s time to check the weekly rankings to find out.
WEEK 5 BYES: Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, Pittsburgh
(Rankings by Elisha Twerski, whose complete Week 5 rankings for every position will be updated up until kickoff on Sunday.)
