Ranking fantasy winners of Week 5
1. Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
That was a ridiculous day for Chase. Breakout numbers here. Vertical opportunities. And red zone targets. Chase finished with 52.2 PPR points, catching 15 of 19 targets for 192 yards, including three touchdown grabs. And with quarterback Joe Burrow looking healthy in this one, showing the ability to move inside and outside the pocket while pushing the ball to the second and third levels, Chase took over the football game. He'll be a top-three WR for me next week versus the Seattle defense. -- Bowen
