Week 5 start/sit

Week 5 fantasy football start/sit for the 2026 season, in half-PPR scoring. Each position is cut where a 12-team league's starters end: start the top 12 quarterbacks, 24 running backs, 30 wide receivers and 12 tight ends, treat the next group as flex calls, and sit the rest.

The closest calls are the players either side of the line. QB: Brock Purdy, Jordan Love, Kyler Murray and Jayden Daniels. RB: Ashton Jeanty, Quinshon Judkins, RJ Harvey and TreVeyon Henderson. WR: Luther Burden, Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs and Denzel Boston. TE: Dalton Kincaid, Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland and Brenton Strange.

Projections refresh each night until each player's game kicks off, then freeze. For your own lineup, use Start / Sit.
