Fantasy Football Week 5 Start 'Em Sit 'Em WRs feat. Stefon Diggs, Tee Higgins, Keenan Allen

More legitimate fantasy football wide receivers can be used in weekly lineups than in any other position. The depth of options is a benefit, but managers must still properly analyze all available picks before choosing a starter. Avoiding this process may fail to optimize lineup scores.

Here are some of the best ones to target and fade in Week 5 of the 2024 season.

Fantasy Football Week 5 WRs Start 'Em picks

Week 5 starts

Stefon Diggs saw his fantasy outlook decrease when he was traded to the Houston Texans this year. He was the primary receiving option for the Buffalo Bills, but his new team included a ton of additional target competition. He has exceeded expectations by ranking as the overall WR13 through four games and gets the opportunity to face his former team in Week 5.

Tee Higgins is another solid option for fantasy football lineups this week. He has been quietly increasing his workload with the Cincinnati Bengals, having targeted six and 10 times in his two games this season, so a breakout could be coming soon.

A favorable matchup against the Baltimore Ravens' shaky passing defense in Week 5 is a good chance to do so.

Here's who joins them as Week 5 targets:

Must Starts

• CeeDee Lamb
• Ja'Marr Chase
• Tyreek Hill

Fantasy Football Week 5 WRs Sit 'Em picks

Week 5 sits

Keenan Allen was formerly a superstar wide receiver during his time with the Los Angeles Chargers. His role with the Chicago Bears this year has had a significant impact on his fantasy value. He has played in two games this season and has only seven receptions for 48 yards. He is a clear fade in fantasy football until he demonstrates that he can be more productive with his new squad.

Jaylen Waddle is another wide receiver to fade in Week 5 fantasy football after struggling to perform since Tua Tagovailoa went down with an injury. He has totaled just 62 yards across the past two weeks and should be avoided in lineups this week.

Here's who joins them as Week 5 fades:

Must Sits

• Keenan Allen
• Jaylen Waddle
• Zay Flowers
• Jordan Addison
• Keon Coleman

DFS Fades

• Terry McLaurin
