The first quarter on the season is gone and we are well into the fantasy football season. Are you 0-4 wanting to cry yourself to sleep as you get ridiculed by your friends? Or are you 1-3 with a glimmer of hope? No matter your record, we are here to help get your lineup in the best shape it can.
Fantasy football rankings, Week 5: Consensus wide receivers for PPR leagues
The SB Nation fantasy staff rounds up the rankings for the top 50 wide receivers in PPR leagues for Week 5.

Names of note on bye weeks are Allen Robinson (JAC), Doug Baldwin (SEA), Brandin Cooks (NO), Willie Snead (NO), Allen Hurns (JAC), Michael Thomas (NO), and Jeremy Maclin (KC).
Some injuries of note are Dez Bryant (Knee), Eric Decker (Shoulder), Kevin White (Ankle), and Jeremy Kerley (Ankle).
Sneaky pickups off of waivers that could help your roster include: Robert Woods (BUF) - Looks like he is getting the bulk of targets, Quincy Enunwa (NYJ) - Already looked strong but could have increased role with Decker injury, Chris Hogan (NE) - Brady is back and the passing game will increase, Eddie Royal (CHI) - He has scored twice in the last four games and should get increased looks if Kevin White is out, and Brian Quick (STL) - Looks good as of late, scored three touchdowns in the last two games.
Get these guys off your roster if they aren’t already: Josh Gordon (CLE), Golden Tate (DET), Tyler Lockett (SEA), Allen Hurns (JAC), Sammy Watkins (BUF), and Tavon Austin (STL).
