Fantasy Football Week 5 Rankings: K

Another week, another fantasy football ranking with Stephen Gostkowski atop kickers. He is second overall in kicking points (three behind Lawrence Tynes), but we expect Tynes to be kicking extra points against the lowly Raiders. Gostkowski's Patriots will face a tough Broncos defense. They'll be able to move the ball, so you'll see a mix of field goals and extra points, during what will result in double-digit fantasy points for Mr. Gostkowski.

1. Stephen Gostkowski, NE at DEN
2. Neil Rackers, ARI vs. HOU
3. Josh Scobee, JAX at SEA
4. Nick Folk, DAL at KC
5. Steven Hauschka, BAL vs. CIN

• The Chiefs have allowed seven field goals and 13 extra points this year, both of which are near the top amounts in the league. Folk is a great option this week.

• The Redskins defense has been a bend-but-don't-break unit thus far, allowing seven field goals but just five extra points. With Carolina having trouble passing but likely moving the ball via the ground, expect Kasay to get at least three field goal attempts.

• The Colts are similar to the Redskins, so expect Bironas to get some action.
