Week 5 fantasy wide receiver rankings: Top WR streamers, starts

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers caught a season-high 12 passes in Week 4 vs. Dallas, but took a hard fall to the ground late in the game and was diagnosed with a concussion. Fortunately, the Giants played on Thursday night, so he'll have a few extra days to clear the league's protocol so he can be ready for this week.

If Nabers suits up, he's our No. 1 wide receiver this week.
