Week 5 Wide Receiver Rankings Fantasy Football

The players in this tier are all must-starts this week and will provide plenty of fantasy value throughout the season:

• Johnston continues to be playing at a high level, scoring 23.8 fantasy points. He has scored at least 14 fantasy points in all four weeks so far this season. He saw 13 targets in the Week 4 loss to the Giants. Look for him to continue his success against the Commanders this week.
• After a slow start, Harrison Jr. had a big second half to salvage his fantasy day. He has two games over 18 fantasy points on the season, but two games under eight points. Fantasy managers will have to hope that he and Kyler Murray can build upon their connection and get more of the boom weeks than the bust weeks.

Tier 3: WR3s With Something to Prove

This tier of players includes wide receivers who are all borderline WR starts this week, depending on the size of your league:

• Johnston’s successes have come at the hands of McConkey’s struggles in fantasy. He caught just one of six targets for 11 yards, scoring 2.1 fantasy points. This is his third straight game with single-digit fantasy points. Fantasy managers are probably still starting McConkey, but it is time to be concerned about him.
• Ayomanor continues to be a focal point of the Titans offense, receiving seven targets. He only caught two of them for 44 yards, but the targets are encouraging.

Tier 4: Potential Flex WRs

These guys are FLEX options to fill out your starting lineup:

• Diggs had his best day as a Patriot, catching six passes for 101 yards. He will look to continue that success in a revenge game against the Bills on Sunday Night Football.
• Robinson becomes the WR1 for the Giants and Jaxson Dart after the unfortunate injury to Nabers. He will receive a high target share, but the Giants will be a run-first offense.
