Week 5 offensive line ranks: Start your Los Angeles Chargers

The fantasy football world has lagged behind when it comes to effectively measuring the impact blocking has on fantasy production, so last year I devised a grading system that uses multiple advanced metrics to project how blocking matchups will impact fantasy football performance in the upcoming week's contests.

The entire list of the Week 5 overall matchup grades are posted below, along with a detailed look at how those blocking grades could impact certain start-sit decisions this week.
