Week 5 Fantasy Preview: Rankings, Smash/Crash Spots, Injuries, Start/Sit & More!

📋 Week 5 is here. We’re breaking down fantasy football rankings, the smash spots and crash spots at every position, hitting the injuries that could wreck your lineup, and going rapid-fire on the start/sit calls you’re still sweating.

Kendall and Pete go through the top 12 quarterbacks, top 24 running backs, top 24 receivers and top 12 tight ends, then get into the spots that actually decide your week — Jacoby Brissett and Matthew Stafford in smash spots with Brock Purdy in a crash spot, D’Andre Swift and Aaron Jones at running back with a warning on James Cook, Jameson Williams and Michael Wilson at receiver with Chris Olave on the other side, and both sides of tight end with Mike Gesicki smashing and Tucker Kraft crashing.

Then the Week 5 injury report. Lamar Jackson’s ankle sprain is being called “unconventional,” so how do you handle the Ravens offense with Tyler Huntley under center. Saquon Barkley is week-to-week, which means deciding how confident you actually are in Will Shipley. Rhamondre Stevenson has a knee issue from Sunday, which could mean wheels up for TreVeyon Henderson. And Ladd McConkey is day-to-day, which raises the real question — can you start any Chargers pass catcher at all if he sits.

Then a rapid-fire start/sit round on Josh Downs, Jayden Daniels, Dalton Kincaid, Ollie Gordon and Woody Marks, and they close by building a DFS lineup together for the week.
