Week 5 Start/Sit: Top WR Picks
Week 5 Start/Sit – Wide Receiver
Week 5 is here, and fantasy managers are starting to get a clear picture of who they can rely on. With injuries piling up and matchups becoming more telling, making the right start/sit calls is crucial for wide receivers.

Starts
Jakobi Meyers
Jakobi Meyers has cooled the past two weeks, but the volume is still there. He remains a trusted target for Geno Smith and gets a favorable matchup with the Colts, who have allowed the third-most points to receivers. Meyers is a solid WR2 bounce-back candidate.
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy returned from injury with 121 total yards on eight targets and two carries. He brings explosive upside back to Kansas City’s offense, and with Jacksonville struggling to contain wideouts, he profiles as a strong WR2 again this week.
Sits
Stefon Diggs
Stefon Diggs looked sharp with 101 yards last week, but Buffalo’s secondary has suffocated opposing receivers, holding stars like Tyreek Hill and Chris Olave under 50 yards. Diggs could struggle in this matchup despite his volume.
Tee Higgins
Tee Higgins has averaged just 34 yards this season and has been invisible with Jake Browning at quarterback. With no reliable floor or ceiling, he belongs on fantasy benches until the Bengals’ offense shows signs of life.
