ESPN has published its Week 5 fantasy football rankings, offering composite player rankings by position for managers competing in points-per-reception (PPR) and individual defensive player (IDP) formats.
The rankings cover the standard offensive positions — quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end — along with team defense/special teams rankings, giving fantasy managers a position-by-position guide as they set lineups for the week.
In addition to the standard format rankings, ESPN fantasy analyst Eric Karabell contributed a separate set of superflex rankings, a format that allows managers to start an additional quarterback, running back, wide receiver or tight end in a flexible roster spot. Superflex formats tend to place additional value on quarterbacks compared with standard leagues, since teams can start two players at the position.
The composite rankings reflect input compiled across ESPN's fantasy football staff, intended to help managers compare player value across formats ahead of Week 5 matchups.
ESPN's fantasy coverage is updated regularly throughout the season as player performance, injuries and matchups shift the outlook for upcoming weeks.
