WEEKLY RANKINGS/2026 SEASON
College fantasy football rankings: Week 5
Published Mon, Sep 28·Updated Wed 1:29 AM ET·Locks Sat 12:00 PM ET · rows lock at kickoff
Our college fantasy football Week 5 rankings are live, with updated projections across every position to help with start/sit decisions, transfers and finding the best value on the board.
Some names are starting to feel pretty familiar at the top. Michael Hawkins and Kamario Taylor at quarterback, Jadan Baugh at running back, and Malachi Toney, Jeremiah Smith and KJ Duff at wide receiver continue to live near the top of our rankings week after week.
But Week 5 comes with a wrinkle: Nate Sheppard, the most popular running back in CollegeFFB, is on a bye. How managers replace him for the week is where things get interesting, especially with plenty of value available further down the rankings.
Whether you’re looking for a one-week Sheppard replacement, hunting for a sleeper or trying to settle a tough start/sit decision, dig into the full Week 5 rankings below. Compare projections, projected points per dollar and season-long value to find the players who could give you an edge this week.
