Fantasy Football 2021, Week 5 rankings: Who to start and sit

Start

Cole Beasley, BUF, @ KC

Beasley had the least amount of catches or targets this past week but that will not be able to happen again if the Bills want to keep up with the Chiefs. Expect Beasley to be targeted and targeted often in what might be a fantastic shootout Sunday night.

Jakobi Meyers, NE, @ HOU

Meyers is the number one receiver in the Patriots offense and we doubt that goes away any time soon. He knows how to get open and should produce FLEX numbers once again.

Quintez Cephus, DET, @ MIN

Cephus has become the top option for Jared Goff when it comes to his wide receivers and that will not be changing anytime soon. If you are in need of a dart throw to try and get a big number from the FLEX position, then Cephus might be the guy to go with here in a good matchup against the Vikings.

Sit

Kenny Golladay, NYG, @ DAL

Golladay is a big play player but that doesn’t mean he is one to trust right now. Trevon Diggs is becoming a lockdown cornerback for the Cowboys, meaning that the big-money signing of the Giants could be in for a long day this week. He has not been trustworthy enough and if Sterling Shepard or Darius Slayton doesn’t return, it could be an even tougher day with all the focus on him.

Brandin Cooks, HOU, vs. NE

Cooks is the only good option in the Houston offense with Tyrod Taylor out but the New England Patriots are going to know that. That not only will limit him but his week should be expected to be minimal as Bill Belichick dominates rookie quarterbacks.

A.J. Green, ARI, vs. SF

Green has looked like the player of old in recent years for the Arizona Cardinals and could continue to do so the remainder of the season. Unfortunately predicting which receiver is going to have a huge week in the lineup outside of DeAndre Hopkins has become impossible. Sit Green down but he might be worth the add from waivers.
