Ts and Cs apply.Week 5 QB rankings and QB tiers: Ian Hartitz ranks his top 30 quarterbacks for Week 5 of fantasy football (30, because the Chiefs and Panthers are on bye) and sorts them into five tiers. Jared Goff is the QB3 with a Lions-Cardinals shootout on deck, Jacoby Brissett is the QB9 and the streamer of the week against a Lions defense that allows the most fantasy points to QBs, and Jalen Hurts is down at QB15 ("that feels a little high"). After every tier Ian stops for a bigger question about the position.TIER 1: THE BIG SIXJosh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jared Goff, Dak Prescott, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford.Key question: who has the best and worst upcoming schedules?
