Fantasy Football QB Week 5 Rankings: Which QB Should You Start?

With a month down, the fantasy football quarterback landscape has been significantly thinned out by injuries, though many of healthy usual suspects remain atop the positional rankings.

A few situations to watch this week include whether sophomore Drake Maye's strong start will continue on the road vs. a stout divisional foe, if Geno Smith can shake off his second three-INT performance in the last three games, and how the loss of several star receivers will impact their respective quarterbacks in Week 5.

With bye weeks taking Jordan Love and Caleb Williams out of the player pool, coupled with injuries having Lamar Jackson and Brock Purdy at less than 100%, some owners will be forced to play a signal caller from Tier 4 of this week's rankings. Embrace the risk!
