Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff lead UPI senior sports writer Alex Butler's Top-20 fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 5 of the 2025 season.
MIAMI, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff lead my Top-20 fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 5 of the 2025 season.
Justin Herbert, Josh Allen and Justin Fields join Mahomes and Goff inside my Top 5. Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Baker Mayfield and Matthew Stafford are my other Top-10 options.
My Top-50 running back and Top 50 wide receiver rankings for Week 5 can be found here. My waiver-wire and free agent targets for Week 5 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 lineups for injury developments. Quarterbacks from the Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, who are on bye, should not be in starting lineups.
