Fantasy Football Week 5 Rankings: Philip Rivers and Week's Top 3 QBs

These three quarterbacks are going to keep the year of the pass going in Week 5. All three of these guys are talented passers and they have matchups that will lead to them having big days.

San Diego Chargers' QB Philip Rivers

Philip Rivers has had a surprisingly sporadic season. He has five touchdowns and six interceptions. This remains an explosive passing offense though.

And he is going against a very suspect Broncos' passing defense. The Broncos have allowed the 23rd most passing yards in the NFL and they seem to be getting worse by the week. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers lit this defense up last week.

You can expect Rivers to do much the same.

New York Giants' QB Eli Manning

The Giants are having to take to the air more than ever. Manning is off to a solid start with 1,066 yards and eight touchdowns this season.

His numbers will get a big boost this week. Manning will be facing a very suspect Seahawks secondary and an even more suspect Seahawks pass rush.

The Hawks are 16th in the NFL in passing yards allowed, but they haven't faced the most potent passing attacks.

Matt Ryan went for 291 and one touchdown against them last week. Eli is going to beat those numbers. Last season he torched the Seahawks for 290 yards and three touchdowns and that was with the Giants running the ball the majority of the second half because they up by such a large margin.

Green Bay Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers

At this point, you can probably just pencil Rodgers in on this list for the rest of the season.

This week will certainly be no exception. He will be playing a Falcons team that has allowed the 24th most passing yards in the NFL.

Sure, he will be playing them in the Georgia Dome, and the Falcons seem to be a different team there, but anyone who watched the playoffs last year knows that Rodgers has no problem going into Atlanta and shredding their defense.
