Nick Mariano's rest-of-season fantasy football rankings for Week 5 in half-PPR and full-PPR leagues. Set winning lineups with our updated Week 5 fantasy football ranks for 2025.

We're through four weeks, one whole month, and have seen the entire fantasy football landscape shift beneath our feet, so let's orient ourselves with an updated rest-of-season rankings sheet! Hopefully, you hit the start of bye-week season with a balanced squad that allows you to simply target the best free agents and trades, but we know life isn't always that simple. Let's sharpen our winning rosters with our Week 5 fantasy football half-PPR rankings for the rest of 2025 as of October 1.

Be sure to inspect where key players have moved, such as Omarion Hampton, Ashton Jeanty, Jaylen Waddle, Ja'Marr Chase, and more. The first four byes are upon us, but there's a lot of season ahead of us. Don't get too comfortable, as everything can change in a blink!

Will Denver's defense be able to force Philadelphia out of its comfort zone?

Can Tennessee show any life, or does Tyjae Spears' addition just further dilute the mess?

How do the Buccaneers mitigate Seattle's front with their patchwork offensive line and a Bucky Irving injury?

Can the Chargers fare any better at protecting Justin Herbert after losing Joe Alt?

Do the Lions score 50, 60, or 70 points against Cincy?

Can New England's ground game get right against Buffalo's porous run unit?

Does Kansas City even pretend to run against Jacksonville's funnel defense?

Rest of Season Rankings Outlooks

Xavier Worthy, WR - KC (No. 37)

After missing two games with a torn labrum, Worthy returned to action this past weekend and looked like his former self. During their dominant victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the second-year wideout quickly reclaimed the top role in the passing catching room, catching five of his eight targets for 83 yards. He added 38 yards on two rushing attempts.

While Rashee Rice will return in Week 7 and slightly lower Worthy's target share, he should continue to carry WR2 upside on a weekly basis, given his elite speed. During his final seven games of the 2024 regular season (excluding Week 18), Worthy averaged an impressive 15.8 PPR points per game.

George Pickens, WR - DAL (No. 38)

Without CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens served as Dallas's clear No. 1 WR during their thrilling 40-40 tie against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday evening. In this game, Pickens brought in eight of his hefty 11 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

Even with Lamb on the field, Pickens was making a significant impact, tallying 17.8 PPR points in both Week 2 and Week 3. While Lamb remains sidelined, Pickens could push for low-end WR1 upside weekly. When he returns, Pickens should remain a focal point of the offense and carry strong WR2 value.

Quentin Johnston, WR - LAC (No. 49)

One of the biggest surprises this season has been WR Quentin Johnston. After an inconsistent first two seasons in the NFL, Johnston was not on the fantasy radar of many entering 2025. However, Johnston has enjoyed a Year 3 breakout and has emerged as Justin Herbert's go-to WR.

Through four games, the former first-round pick has caught 22 of his 36 targets for 337 yards and four touchdowns. Despite playing alongside Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, Johnston has emerged as a must-start player in all formats.

Cam Skattebo, RB - NYG (No. 66)

Cam Skattebo was given a minimal role in Week 1 as he missed most of the preseason with a hamstring injury. However, in Week 2, Skattebo saw his workload significantly increase, and with the recent shoulder injury to Tyrone Tracy Jr., the rookie has taken over the New York backfield.

In their Week 4 victory over the Chargers, Skattebo led the way, taking 25 carries for 79 yards and bringing in both of his targets for 11 yards. Skattebo should continue to see a heavy workload going forward and will carry RB2 upside in all matchups.
