Fantasy Football: Positional rankings for NFL Week 5, covering PPR leagues

Falcons wideout Julio Jones has a quirky production line after four games: He's on pace for 2,000 yards ... but also zero touchdowns.

11Alive's Jay Clemons offers up his initial positional rankings for NFL Week 5, covering Points Per Reception leagues.

An updated listing of the rankings will launch Sunday morning, prior to the 1 p.m. kickoffs.

Clemons, the 2008 Fantasy Football Writer of the Year and 2015 Cynopsis Media award winner for "Sports Blog Of The Year," has previously served as the lead fantasy analyst for Sports Illustrated, FOX Sports South, Bleacher Report and Fanball.com.
