Perfect Fantasy Football Draft: 5th in a 10-Team ESPN PPR League
Playing in a 10-team fantasy football league means there will be more talented rosters. It also means the waiver wire will likely have additional viable options during the season, so it makes sense to take bigger swings towards the later rounds of your draft. The fifth selection in a 10-team ESPN PPR league should leave you with a great option at wide receiver to build your team around.
In this article, I will walk you through the ideal players to draft out of this position for every single round of the draft, using ESPN ADP to guide the available candidates.

I plan to wait on taking a quarterback, considering that only 10 of them will start across the league on a weekly basis.
