Again, not because I necessarily think any of them are incredibly valuable Fantasy players, but because someone's gotta be ranked there. So are both Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. So, yeah, Jordan Addison is still a top-36 wide receiver coming off a game without a catch. There's an awful lot of star power missing from this week's rankings. Keenan Allen, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Amari Cooper would all at least be in the discussion for the top-24 most weeks, and they're all out this week, as are more fringe-y options like Josh Palmer, Elijah Moore, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and others.

Brown (abdomen) and Tee Higgins (ribs) are both typical top-15 guys who aren't ranked there right now Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and Mike Williams (knee) would be in the top-20 discussion if they were healthy too, though at least Cooper Kupp's return will help those of us who have been waiting for him since his preseeason hamstring injury.īut the bigger issue for Week 5 is clearly the bye weeks. Injuries are a part of that, as Amon-Ra St. It's because the wide receiver position is pretty thin heading into Week 5. And it's not because I love any of those three players right now, and certainly not because I view them all as must-start Fantasy options. However, Michael Pittman, DeAndre Hopkins and Garrett Wilson are all also top-24 wide receivers in my rankings for this week too, despite pretty underwhelming starts to the season for all three of them across the board. Nico Collins is a top-20 wide receiver for Week 5, which is a testament to how good he's been to open what has been a significant breakout season for him.
