The dearth of production by tight ends continues as only one – Dallas Goedert of the Philadelphia Eagles – is averaging over 55 receiving yards per game. And only one – George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers – has more than one touchdown catch.

Who might break out with a big game this week?

ON BYE: Detroit, Philadelphia, Tennessee, L.A. Chargers

Fantasy football rankings for Week 5 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com. 

Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson missed Week 2 due to injury, but has put up double-digit PPR fantasy points in each of the last two games.
