Week 5 WR Rankings: 2025 Fantasy Football Rankings

Wide receiver is always a volatile position, but this season has been especially inconsistent. More change is on the horizon as well with four teams on a bye week in Week 5 and top option Malik Nabers done for the season. Who should you count on to produce in Week 5? Let’s take a look at my top 30 WR Rankings for Week 5 after a quick recap of Week 4.

During Week 4 (not counting Monday’s games), Puka Nacua (36 FPTS) continued his dominant season with a monster week against the Colts. George Pickins (33.4 FPTS) and Romeo Doubs (29.8 FPTS) had gigantic games in Sunday night’s tie in Dallas. Amon-Ra St. Brown (26 FPTS) and Drake London (25 FPTS) were the only other receivers to get to the 25-point plateau, rounding out the top five.

Week 5 kicks off this season’s bye weeks with the Steelers, Packers, Falcons and Bears getting the week off. With Nabers and all those options off the board, we’ll dive much deeper to get to the top 30 in our WR rankings this week, and fantasy managers will need to the same in assembling Week 5 lineups.

Since these rankings come out on each Monday, be sure to check back throughout the week on DK Network for coverage of any adjustments that need to be made.
