Week 5 Fantasy PPR Rankings: RB

Our Week 5 PPR rankings are now in, and they will be certain to help you make some difficult decisions at key spots -- especially at RB. Thanks to the PPR format, receiving backs get a bit of a boost and create more depth overall at the position. Of course, that can make things a bit more difficult to sort out -- like a tough start 'em, sit 'em decision between Austin Ekeler and Kerryon Johnson, but it adds another fun layer to the game.

Of course, with byes now upon us, the Bears and Bucs aren't included in these rankings. The notable Bears duo of Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen would normally be staples of the top 30, but with them out, fantasy owners will have to turn to other options. Some potential replacements are waiver wire pickup Nyheim Hines (@ Patriots), Buck Allen (@ Browns), and even a guy like Ty Montgomery (@ Lions). All could be solid fill ins. But as it stands, there are plenty of solid options who should put up good performances in PPR this week.

Week 5 Standard Rankings:
Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker

Per usual, the top dual-threat backs are near the top of these rankings, while some other all-around players in solid matchups (namely, T.J. Yeldon against the Chiefs) get bumped into RB1 territory this week.

Reminder: Check back for updates during the week. And for more analysis on each player, check out our standard WR rankings for Week 5. Also, give a listen to our Week 5 preview podcast.
