We’re officially four weeks into the fantasy football season, and somehow, it feels like we’ve learned nothing about the landscape of the 2024 NFL season. What have we learned? Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is pretty good — for real-life NFL purposes and fantasy purposes.
Daniels has averaged over 278 passing and rushing yards per game through the first four weeks of the season, totaling 7 touchdowns (3 pass TD, 4 rush TD) with just 1 interception to lead the Commanders to a 3-1 start.

Unfortunately, not all line decisions will be as easy as the ones Daniels managers will face at quarterback this season (AKA, you start him — whatever). Week 5 marks the start of bye weeks, as fantasy football managers on the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans will be without players, further shaking up the decision-making process.
So, to help you make your most challenging start/sit decisions, Yahoo Fantasy’s analysts offer their Week 5 fantasy football rankings at each position:
Good luck with your Week 5 matchups!
