Wide receivers can be difficult to predict.
Just one drop here or one pass interference there, and crucial fantasy points are gained or lost.
That's why it takes extra effort to scout WRs every week in fantasy football.
To help you out, I put together this summary of our top 10 ranked wide receivers for week 5.
You can also check out our full list of WR rankings or use our free who should I start tool for an interactive way to use our fantasy football rankings.

Lastly, the Steelers, Bears, Packers and Falcons have a bye this week so keep that in mind when setting your lineup.
