The fifth week of the fantasy football season is here, and with it come the first batch of byes. In fact, nine of the next 10 weeks on the league’s slate will include at least two bye-week teams. This week, the Bears, Falcons Packers, and Steelers are all off the board, so countless managers will need some lineup replacements.
The Week 5 quarterback rankings have a few new players among the top 10, including Justin Fields who has a great matchup against the Cowboys. I also have Drake Maye, who is in the midst of a breakout season, ranked as a starter.
On the flip side, quarterbacks like Geno Smith, Bo Nix and Baker Mayfield have slipped a bit this week, based on either a bad matchup, poor play or a combination of both scenarios. The same goes for Tua Tagovailoa and Trevor Lawrence.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football quarterback rankings for the fifth week of the NFL season.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
