Wide Receiver Rankings, Week 5

October 4, 2012 by Kurt Turner

Use these rankings and have your cake and eat it too!

Ray normally does our WR rankings, but in week 5, I'm going to do my best to bring you the most accurate wide receiver rankings on the Internet!

Robert Meachem is a big sneak play if you have someone on a bye-week and your waiver wire / bench is thin. Meachem gets to play against his former team, which for some odd reason normally leads to at least one touch down. Don't ask me why, it just happens.

I like any of the NYG wide receivers as Eli gets to torch the worse pass defense in the NFL, Victor Cruz is ranked third in my WR projections.

Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker should feast this week as Peyton Manning gets to dual it out against Mr. Brady, will be a great game to watch, read more NFL Picks here.
