Welcome to Week 5, fantasy fans! It’s the first week with byes, as the Chiefs and Panthers are off. That means you’ll have to prepare for a week of fantasy matchups without their defenses.
This week’s rankings include some risers in Texans and Cowboys defenses, and there are a number of good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! A number of defenses have also seen their value fall, none more than the Bills and Chargers, who both face formidable opponents and are better left on the fantasy sidelines.
