Week 5 TE fantasy rankings 2026, from market data
TE for Week 5, ranked by market-based projected fantasy points. A number, not an opinion.
Updated Oct 9, 2026 at 1:52 AM ET
Trey McBride leads Week 5 at TE with 19.2 market-based projected points, Brock Bowers next at 16.8. 42 TEs projected from 16 market sources, refreshed through the day.
This is not a projection we made. Every number is the fantasy points implied by the player markets posted for Week 5: yards, catches, touchdowns, with the margin removed and scored in PPR.
A player with no line is not on this page, and a player with only a touchdown price is listed at the bottom, unranked. The season board sits on the TE rankings page; this one is the week.
