Ranking fantasy winners of Week 5
1. Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Remember all that worry about his preseason contract squabble, and his resulting quiet first two weeks? Yeah, we don't either. Chase broke off 41- and 70-yard touchdown receptions en route to a 41.3 PPR fantasy point total, tops among all players from the 1 p.m. ET games. He now has 88.6 points in the past three weeks combined. He joined Isaac Bruce (5) and Lance Alworth (4) as the only players with four games of 190-plus receiving yards before turning 25 years old, and Bruce (4), Alworth (3) and Jerry Rice (3) as the only wide receivers with at least three games of 40-plus PPR fantasy points before said birthday. Yeah, Chase is back in form as one of the game's very best receivers. -- Cockcroft
