Fantasy Football 2020 Week 5 WR Rankings (1/2 PPR)
Last Updated: October 11
Likely In: Calvin Ridley (ankle), Laviska Shenault (hamstring), Michael Thomas (ankle), Mike Williams (hamstring), A.J. Brown (knee)
Likely Out: Julio Jones (hamstring), J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (calf), Bryan Edwards (ankle), Denzel Mims (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (hamstring)
Out: Corey Davis (COVID-19 List), KJ Hamler (hamstring), Sterling Shepard (toe), Allen Lazard (core), Steve Sims (toe), Alshon Jeffery (foot), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Adam Humphries (COVID-19 List),
SCHEDULE UPDATE: NE/DEN has been taken off of Week 5 and moved to Week 6. Get all Patriots and Broncos out of your lineup. TEN/BUF has been moved to Tuesday night but a positive test occurred Sunday morning for the Titans. Without official word, treat that game as it is in doubt and switch to equal or even lesser options if you’re deciding between Bills and Titans players. They’ve been devalued in the rankings because of this.
