Fantasy Football Rankings 2015: NFL Week 5 Wide Receivers

Before we get to Week 5’s receiver rankings, let’s take a look at few wideouts who qualify as good buy-low candidates.

T.Y. Hilton, Colts — Hilton is coming along, but he has yet to find the end zone and news of Andrew Luck’s shoulder injury might have the Hilton owner in your league a tad nervous. The Colts are saying Luck will be fine and his chemistry with Hilton is too good to hold down for long. Even if Luck is forced to miss some time, backup QB Matt Hasselbeck had zero problem looking Hilton’s way early and often (13 targets) in Week 4.

Mike Evans, Buccaneers — Evans has racked up 25 targets the past 2 games. Unfortunately, QB Jameis Winston’s accuracy isn’t quite there yet. Don’t expect Winston to stop throwing Evans’ way, though. The two will eventually build a rapport and the numbers will pile up.

Brandin Cooks, Saints — Cooks and Drew Brees burned all during the preseason, but that hasn’t quite translated to regular season success yet. He’s averaging nearly 8 targets a contest, but that number might increase as nobody else from the Saints receiving corps has stepped up so far. That breakout game could happen Sunday vs. the Eagles, who can certainly be torched by the pass.

Each week I’ll be posting fantasy football rankings for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and defenses/special teams. Bookmark our fantasy football rankings 2015 page to keep up-to-date on the latest projections and rankings so you know you who to start and who to sit.
