Believe it or not, we are already entering Week 5 of the fantasy football season and what a wild ride it's been thus far. At the wide receiver position, the only top tier players living up to the hype have been Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald and Terrell Owens, while the likes of Randy Moss, Braylon Edwards, Andre Johnson, T.J.Houshmandzadeh and Torry Holt have been a huge disappointment. Instead of dwelling over the failures of expected prized possessions you should be doing everything in your power to either make trades or work the waiver wire to make the most of your fantasy squad. In fact, just about every week a new wide receiver becomes a hot commodity on the waiver wire and if you are lucky enough to find that gem it could make your season.
With that in mind, we bring to you the Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Week 5 Wide Receiver Rankings. Make sure to read these from top to bottom, because if you're in a bind and you need a good plug-n-play option the Bruno Boys just might have the right guys targeted.
-------------------
1. Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts) @ Houston
No team is better than the Colts the week after a bye, as Indianapolis has scored 105 points over the past three years once coming off a bye. As for Wayne, he has 377 receiving yards and two touchdowns during those games and with the Colts addressing offensive efficiency during the layoff don't be surprised if Wayne has his best games of the season while visiting the Texans.
Point Projection: 18 points
-------------------
2. Brandon Marshall (Denver Broncos) vs. Tampa Bay
It's to the point in which we don't even have to write an analysis as to why we like Brandon Marshall each week. The guy can play, flat out, and he should have no problem getting his fantasy points this week (or any week) even if teams start double teaming him like the Kansas City Chiefs did in Week 4. Greg Jennings was fresh off torching the Buccaneers secondary for 100+ receiving yards and two scores, so Marshall should have no problem going over the century mark and finding the end zone for the fourth straight week.
Point Projection: 17 points
-------------------
3. Terrell Owens (Dallas Cowboys) vs. Cincinnati
Despite a season high 17 targets in Week 4, Owens was limited to just seven receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown. Still good numbers, but with the amount of passes thrown his way, you expect more out of Owens. This led to T.O. complaining about how Tony Romo is distributing the football and Owens letting the media know about his frustrations. Usually when T.O. talks people listen, so expect Romo to be on point in Week 5.
Point Projection: 17 points
-------------------
4. Steve Smith (Carolina Panthers) vs. Kansas City
When Jake Delhomme hit Steve Smith for a 56 yard touchdown pass right before the half in Week 4, it officially declared Smith "back" in the eyes of the Bruno Boys. Plus, the speedster is averaging over five yards per reception more from this year to last and despite the Chiefs giving up just three passing touchdowns
