FANTASY LINEUP TIPS: Week 5 Start-Sit | Week 5 Sleepers | Week 5 Busts | Week 5 Waiver Wire

Which wide receivers have a Week 5 bye?

  • Bears: Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, Luther Burden III
  • Falcons: Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud
  • Packers: Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks (IR-R resident Jayden Reed, too)
  • Steelers: DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek

Which Week 5 fantasy sleeper wide receivers should I target?

WR Week 5 matchup boosts include:

  • Chris Olave’s underrated target share positions him well against the New York Giants. (Psst, Spencer Rattler hasn’t been that bad.)
  • We’re feeding Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman into our lineups against the New England Patriots’ erratic defensive backfield.
  • Especially if Calvin Ridley (undisclosed) is out or limited, Elic Ayomanor will continue his WR1 role with Tennessee Titans rookie Cam Ward against the Arizona Cardinals.
  • Another absence by Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) would boost Luke McCaffrey’s involvement, and he’s already shown a nose in the red zone.
  • The New York Jets present a doormat defensive backfield outside of Sauce Gardner (though he’s been mid early on), boosting bye-week fill-in values for Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin.
