We have made it a month into the 2024 fantasy football season, and what a month it's been. At quarterback, the top fantasy option four weeks in is rookie Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, while Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield have more fantasy points than Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes. The fact that Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints is the highest-scoring running back isn't a huge surprise, but Jordan Mason of the San Francisco 49ers joining him in the top five wasn't expected.
At wide receiver, Jauan Jennings of the 49ers has more PPR points than CeeDee Lamb and Ja'Marr Chase. The tight end position has been..
.well, er, we won't talk about the tight ends. Some wounds are still too fresh.
It hasn't been easy staying on top of a season that has been so unpredictable, but here at Bleacher Report, we're all about helping fantasy managers succeed. So, here's a game-by-game breakdown of Week 5, including players to start, others to sit, sleepers, pertinent stats and an update on the injury status of fantasy's banged-up names. That last list isn't getting any shorter.
Key Injuries The Atlanta Falcons have a couple of injury concerns entering Week 5, although neither appears especially serious. Running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring) and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (ankle) are both banged up, but they have been able to practice in a limited fashion. The visiting Buccaneers also have a big name limited in practice: Wide receiver Mike Evans is nursing knee and calf.
