It’s Thursday, so it’s time for the Week 5 fantasy football player rankings. PlayThisGuy.com has given us their Top 10 players at QB, RB, WR, TE, K, and D/ST. They go around the Internet collecting data from fantasy football sites far and wide, and collate it into easily digestible consensus tables for your viewing pleasure.

We don't talk much about defenses, or at least not as much as we should. But this week there are some tasty matchups for a few defenses. Coming in as the top-ranked defense form our experts rankings are the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are normally a top play as they lead the league in points allowed, but they get the Browns this week, with Colt McCoy likely at the helm. The New York Giants defense has been on a tear the last two weeks, and they get a Lions offense that has some banged-up key components.
