Week 5 QB Rankings

37 players ranked · FFPC scoring · Updated Sep 16, 2026, 6:33 PM EDT

Projected — Week 2 is the current week

No betting lines yet. Sportsbooks have not posted totals for this week, so the scoring environment here is estimated from season scoring rates rather than taken from the market. Player roles and matchups are current; the point projections are less certain than a normal week's.

Caleb Williams of CHI is the number one QB in Week 5 FFPC scoring on the road against GB, in a game where his offense is implied for 29.2 points, projected for 27.2 points. 7 QBs sit in tiers 1 and 2 combined, and those are the ones you start without thinking. The week's real question mark is Drake Maye at QB2, where confidence is low because strong usage, offense implied for 27.9, only 1 game of data.
