Who to start in fantasy football: Week 5 rankings, start-sit advice for PPR, standard, superflex scoring image

It's another injury-packed week, as fantasy starters Ezekiel Elliott, Antonio Gibson, T.J. Hockenson, Amari Cooper, Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Melvin Gordon, D'Andre Swift, and Chase Edmonds are all "questionable" and Christian McCaffrey is "doubtful." There's also an early-morning London game between the Falcons and Jets, and there's potential heavy rain in in the weather forecast for Bills-Chiefs. It's not going to get any easier for fantasy owners, but in an effort to make things a little easier for you, we've compiled all of our Week 5 fantasy rankings (PPR, standard, and superflex) in this article to help with your last-minute start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Consider it your one-stop cheat sheet if you've put off deciding who to start until Sunday morning.
