BSB Fantasy Rankings: Week 5

There were a lot of stellar performances this week. Tony Gonzalez? Man, what got into him? 32 points, I'll take that any day. Brees and Peyton went off like always as well. On the other side of things, what happened to almost every single RB? MJD, why do I keep trusting you? Jacksonville, please send this man to greener pastures for a 4th round draft pick or something. It seems like unless you have AP, Charles, Shady or a select few others you're probably getting boned at the RB position. Maybe this is the week your RB breaks out though...unless you have Spiller. Not looking good for him. (Sorry, Dan) Rankings after the jump.

Kicker
1. Greg Zeurlein STL
    -Did you think I was going to change this? That unnecessary 2 point conversion at the end of the game last week really sucked, but he's playing the Jaguars this week. The Jaguars. I'll actually make a deal with you, the reader, if Zeurlein doesn't score at least 6 fantasy points this week then I won't give him a sixth consecutive week at #1. 

*For the record, I'm basing these off a 0.5 PPR format.  Feel free to sound off in the comments about how awesome and/or moronic these are.  Good luck in Week 5.
