WR rankings and WR tiers: Ian Hartitz ranks his top 60 wide receivers for Week 5 of fantasy football and sorts them into six tiers. George Pickens is the WR14 and Ian is not scared of a boom week against the Buccaneers on Thursday night, Keon Coleman is the WR41 and third in yards per target among receivers this season, Deebo Samuel is the WR29 and still looks good, and Dohnte Meyers is getting real steam in Cincinnati. After every tier Ian stops for a bigger question about the position.
