Over the last two weeks, I’ve used this space to highlights high-profile receivers that had been underwhelming previously but were set up in great spots. It worked out well in Week 4 with Davante Adams and DeAndre Hopkins could’ve blown up this past week had it not been for one of the best receiving performances the sport has ever seen: his teammate Will Fuller erupting for 14 catches, 217 yards and three touchdowns.

In Week 5, 11 receivers put up over 20 fantasy points. while four went over 30. Joining Fuller in the over-30 party were Michael Thomas and Amari Cooper, as well as DJ Chark, who has been a revelation and currently ranks fifth in overall points at the position.

The best story line, of course, has to be Cooper Kupp, who has come back from a torn ACL in the middle of last season and posted four straight 100-yard performances, with four touchdowns to boot. The Rams’ slot receiver takes the top spot in this week’s rankings.
