These rankings are intended to rate players for Week 5 of the NFL season only and therefore do not include players on a bye week (Browns, Jets, Raiders and Rams). They are a composite of Matthew Berry's, Christopher Harris', Erik Kuselias' and Eric Karabell's personal rankings for the week. ESPN's official fantasy projections and profiles for Week 5 can be viewed by clicking here.
