One-third of the fantasy regular season is now in the rearview mirror, and we’re now forces to navigate the murky waters of the bye week gauntlet. To help you with your lineup decisions, here’s this week’s edition of the flex rankings:

1. Le'Veon Bell, PIT vs JAC (RB1) — He's coming off 39 touches and gets to face the Swiss cheese Jags run defense. Giddy up.

2. Mike Evans, TB vs NE (WR1) — Speaking of good matchups, the Pats secondary has been straight up torched this season.

3. Ezekiel Elliott, DAL vs GB (RB2) — Elliott looked like his old self in Week 4 and remains an elite option.

4. Antonio Brown, PIT vs JAC (WR2) — He's coming off a rare dud, but there's no need to worry about Brown.

5. Odell Beckham Jr., NYG vs LAC (WR3) — Beckham suffered a nasty finger dislocation, but there's no indication this will slow him in Week 5.

6. Kareem Hunt, KC @ HOU (RB3) — Hunt managed another solid game in Week 4 with 100-plus rushing yards.

7. Jordy Nelson, GB @ DAL (WR4) — The league's best red-zone asset continues to roll this week.

8. A.J. Green, CIN vs BUF (WR5) — The Bengals offense looks much better under new OC Bill Lazor.

9. Todd Gurley, LAR vs SEA (RB4) — #ToddGurleyRedemptionTour

10. Leonard Fournette, JAC @ PIT (RB5) — Expect the heavy volume to continue for Fournette.

11. Dez Bryant, DAL vs GB (WR6) — This is a juicy matchup for Bryant, who is coming off double-digit targets in Week 4.

12. DeAndre Hopkins, HOU vs KC (WR7) — Heavy volume and Deshaun Watson's progress bode well for Hopkins.

13. Carlos Hyde, SF @ IND (RB6) — Hyde gets a fantastic matchup and should be considered an RB1 play this week.

14. LeSean McCoy, BUF @ CIN (RB7) — McCoy hasn't been able to get much done on the ground, but continues to be an asset in the receiving game.

15. Brandin Cooks, NE @ TB (WR8) — Tampa Bay's secondary is almost as bad as New England's.
