Week 5 Fantasy Football Rankings (Non-PPR)

Kyle Pitts - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Our updated Week 5 fantasy football rankings for 2021 and standard scoring (non-PPR) formats at RB, WR, TE, QB and DEF. Set your optimal fantasy lineups and win.

Welcome to Week 5 RotoBallers. Last week left us with some injuries to deal with, but we are here to constantly bring you updated player news and rankings to help you set your optimal lineups. Below are our updated consensus Week 5 fantasy football rankings, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates:

Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This is to allow owners to compare running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for their FLEX spot (without seeing QB, DEF, K mixed in).

And in case you weren't aware, our very own Nick Mariano was ranked #11 overall in 2018 out of ~120 industry experts, and was ranked #9 overall the year before. So be sure to follow his rankings every week!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:
