Week 5 is another huge week in the NFL with great matchups all across the scoreboard. A London game kicks off the Sunday action early, leaving 10 games on the main DFS fantasy football slate, which kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET. Six games will kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET, with four games once again in the later wave. To help you as you get your lineup together, each week we’ll be running down the fantasy football rankings at each of the primary positions for the main DraftKings slate in this cheat sheet
Who are you buying or selling coming into the week, and what matchups can you not wait to attack? The 10 games include some soft matchups like the Dolphins and Panthers meeting in Carolina, as well as some intriguing contests like the Broncos visiting the Eagles, the Bucs heading to Seattle, and the Commanders and Chargers meeting in the late window in Los Angeles.
These fantasy football rankings are based on what we know coming into the week on Monday, so stay tuned to DK Network for more news throughout the week to see if your lineup should be adjusted at all.
These player rankings are based solely on total output, independent of the players’ salaries. They do not account for value, ownership, ceiling or correlation, which should all be factors in building your final lineup. They are, however, a great starting point as you start to look ahead or as you compare specific options in a particular position.

The rankings on this page do not include any players from the prime time matchups, which are on separate slates. Each of the position-specific rankings includes all the players for the entire week.
