MIAMI, Sept. 30 (UPI) — Ja'Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson lead my Top 50 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for Week 5.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Deebo Samuel join Chase, St. Brown and Jefferson in my Top 5. Garrett Wilson, Emeka Egbuka, Nico Collins, George Pickens and Marvin Harrison Jr. are among my other Top 10 options.

My top waiver-wire and free agent targets for Week 5 are available here. My Top 50 running back and Top 20 quarterback rankings are available here.

All of my positional rankings will be updated until Week 5 kickoffs. Players also will be moved out of or adjusted within the rankings based on injuries. Be sure to monitor your fantasy football team lineups.

Players from the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons, who are on bye, should be benched or, in some cases, dropped from rosters. Wide receivers from the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, who met Thursday, were removed from my rankings.
