Fantasy football rankings for Week 5: Kyler Murray keeps putting up big numbers
Quarterback Kyler Murray leads the NFL's lone unbeaten team into battle on Sunday as the Arizona Cardinals host the San Francisco 49ers, one of several marquee games on the Week 5 schedule.
A reminder: This week marks the first of this season's two NFL games in London as the Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets get the day started at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday.
Fantasy football rankings for Week 5 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
