Week 5 fantasy quarterback rankings: Top QB streamers, starts

Here's a surprise. After four weeks, the top quarterback in fantasy football is ...

OK, it's Josh Allen. That's no surprise at all. But if you're talking the top-ranked quarterback in terms of passer rating − and the QB2 in fantasy − you may, in fact, be surprised to learn it's Brock Purdy of the undefeated San Francisco 49ers.

Purdy has yet to be sacked this season, and he's thrown a league-leading 11 touchdown passes to just one interception. And even more impressive, he's done it with a wide receiver corps that's been decimated by injuries.

Purdy, purdy good.
