Of course, the return of suspended players is also a big boost, and Mark Ingram will be back in the Saints lineup in Week 5. Ingram will help to take some pressure off Alvin Kamara and could be a legitimate starter, even against a tougher Washington run defense.
Week 5 Rankings:Quarterback | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker
There are still some major question marks surrounding Week 5. Notably, Leonard Fournette’s hamstring injury has acted up again, and it remains to be seen whether he will be active this week. Injuries can pop up at any time, so there is always uncertainty surrounding when the next stud is going to go down. Week 5 might be a mini oasis in a long season for RBs. The bye weeks will wipe out a lot of top backs from the slate in the coming weeks, so take advantage of this relatively favorable situation while you can.
