Week Five: Survivor Pool Contests | NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

A quarter of the fantasy football season is over and hopefully your survivor pool picks have gone well so far. Last week was a great time to have the 49ers defense or Mike Sims-Walker on your team last week.

Below we have our survivor pool rankings split into three sections, and they are studs, mid range and poor plays.
