We're starting to get a clear picture of that are going to be steady manufacturers and also which defenses are at risk to give up a lot of dream points to quarterbacks. We now have a month's worth of information and also statistics, so ideally, our Week 5 fantasy QB rankings will be our best yet, as well as a certain preseason sleeper joining the mix obtains us off to good beginning.
Trey Lance( @ Cardinals) will definitely be among the most-watched QBs today. We obtained a preference of his benefit after he changed Jimmy Garoppolo (calf bone)in the second half recently when Lance had 157 passing yards, 41 rushing lawns, two TDs, as well as a two-point conversion.
His total performance was merely typical,
as the majority of his manufacturing began a blown insurance coverage and in rubbish time, however Lance can still accumulate points in a hurry. The Cardinals are a statistically below-average matchup and did an excellent job holding down Matthew Stafford till he tacked on a late garbage-time TD recently, so we do not have Lance in our top 12, but he definitely has that type of upside if things break best. He's certainly a must-start in two-QB/superflex leagues.< p course =" pop-out-eplayer-container pop-out-eplayer-container-- preserve-size "> WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS: Running back|Wide receiver|Tight end|D/ST|Twist Jalen Harms (@ Panthers )has actually remained to feast in waste time, but he'll play one of the league's most difficult defenses on the road in Week 5. Russell Wilson(vs. Rams)on a brief week could be due for a down game also, yet he's near-impossible to bench. The very same isn't true for
Harms, yet he has comparable upside, so bench himat your own risk in spite of being slotted at 16th on our listing. WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS: Running back|Wide receiver|Limited end|D/ST|Twist Some traditionally middle-of-the-pack quarterbacks have actually juicy competitions today. Kirk Cousins (vs. Lions) has a possibility to go down one more 30-burger if this game remains close; Daniel Jones(@ Cowboys) can go down a wonderful dream stat line whether the game is close or otherwise, and perhaps Sam Darnold (vs. Eagles) can proceed his warm start to the season. Joe Burrow (vs. Green Bay)will obtain his very first opportunity to battle Aaron Rodgers, and this could be a shootout in Cincinnati, so we think Burrow is a QB1 this week. WEEK5 DFS SCHEDULES: FanDuel|DraftKings|Yahoo
Rookies Mac Jones (@ Texas), Trevor Lawrence (@ Titans), as well as Zach Wilson (vs. Falcons) have great competitions, so consider them in play in two-QB/superflex organizations. Wilson reaches dip into 9:30 a.m. ET in London, so possibly he'll beam while nobody is seeing. Just how wonderful would it be to sleep in on Sunday, present of bed, as well as see that he has three touchdowns? He's been dreadful thus far, but anything can occur against the Falcons.
EVEN MORE WEEK 5 DFS: Best heaps|Ideal worths|Lineup Contractor
Matt Ryan (vs. Jets) looks juicy on paper; nevertheless, the Jets have really been strong versus quarterbacks. Heading into Week 4, they were allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to the position and held Ryan Tannehill to one TD. You may assume this is only due to the fact that groups have actually allowed up on them, yet when you dive much deeper, their protection hasn't actually been that poor. Baker Mayfield (@ Chargers) and Teddy Bridgewater (@ Steelers) have actually exceeded assumptions in some weeks, but they're both when traveling with very hard competitions. There's a chance Bridgewater doesn't play, as he's managing a concussion, yet Drew Lock definitely wouldn't remain in play either. Justin Herbert (vs. Browns) and Derek Carr (vs. Bears) have been starters most weeks, but their matches make them challenging to trust fund.
WEEK 5 DREAM: Sleepers|Busts|Beginning 'em, rest 'em
This week seems to have a great deal of value in the center to late parts of the rankings. Some under-the-radar people have solid competitions, while a few of the studs remain in hard places. Many times, you still wish to go with the studs, but there's no harm in thinking about all options at the quarterback setting. This will be the last week for a while without bye weeks, so moving forward, your alternatives will certainly be much more restricted. Appreciate this while you can.
Keep in mind: We'll be updating these QB positions as required throughout the week, so inspect back for the most up to date changes and analysis.
Dream QB Rankings Week 5: Who to begin at quarterback
Positions are based on standard, four-point passing TD styles.
| Rank | Player |
| 1 | Josh Allen, BUF @ KC |
| 2 | Kyler Murray, ARI vs. SF |
| 3 | Lamar Jackson, BAL vs. IND |
| 4 | Patrick Mahomes, KC vs. BUF |
| 5 | Matthew Stafford, LAR @ SEA |
| 6 | Dak Prescott, DAL vs. NYG |
| 7 | Tom Brady, TB vs. MIA |
| 8 | Kirk Cousins, minutes vs. DET. Cousins scored at least 22 fantasy points in each video game leading up to Week 4. Versus Cleveland, he scored a plain 10.1 points. Look for him to get back on the right track against the Lions, that are among the top-10 friendliest defenses to QBs in fantasy. |
| 9 | Aaron Rodgers, GB @ CIN |
| 10 | Russell Wilson, SEA vs. LAR. This might tone up to be an awful Thursday nighter, but we understand the skillset Wilson gives the table. Tom Brady and also Kyler Murray have actually eclipsed 25 fantasy points against the Rams in the past two weeks, so Wilson could absolutely do the very same. |
| 11 | Joe Burrow, CIN vs. GB. Burrow has racked up 19 or even more dream points in 3 of his four video games, and also Green Bay will certainly be the second-worst defense versus QBs he will certainly encounter until now this year. He racked up 25.8 dream factors against Jacksonville, and the Green Bay second isn't better (lower five against QBs). Expect a high-scoring event here as Burrow battles Aaron Rodgers for the very first time. If Joe Mixon (ankle) is out, Cincinnati will likely lean pass greater than we have actually seen in 2021. |
| 12 | Sam Darnold, cars and truck vs. PHI. Even in a video game where the Panthers got smashed, Darnold racked up 30-plus dream factors versus Dallas. His outstanding hurrying capacity has been unusual, and also the Eagles' protection has actually been exposed in back-to-back weeks, giving up 41.5 factors per game over those 2 contests. |
| 13 | Ryan Tannehill, TEN @ JAX. Tannehill hasn't measured up to the preseason hype, yet it's tough at fault him with A.J. Brown (hindering) and also Julio Jones (leg) being ineffective even when they're on the area. Still, his season-low point total amount was in Week 1 against Arizona (18.3 points), so he's been functional. If Brownish and/or Jones play, he definitely can generate a QB1 game against Jacksonville. Tyrod Taylor, Teddy Bridgewater, Kyler Murray, and Joe Burrow all delighted in the Jags, so Tannehill should, also, even if Jones or Brown can't go. |
| 14 | Jameis Winston, NO @ WAS. Since his five-touchdown performance in Week 1, Winston has actually hovered in between 10 and also 15 dream points. Nonetheless, Washington has allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks and also Matt Ryan tossed for four goals against them in Week 4. Winston has yet to attempt more than 23 passing attempts, but he can get it made with effectiveness right here versus a dreadful defense. |
| 15 | Daniel Jones, NYG @ DAL. Jones is currently a QB1 in fantasy, and shedding Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton to hamstring muscle injuries really did not quit him in Week 4. He threw for 402 yards and also two goals in path to a 30-point fantasy efficiency against a strong Saints' protection. Dallas' protection has looked improved, however we still assume the Saints' D is far much better. Nonetheless, the Cowboys' violation can rack up near to 40 factors with ease, so Jones will be contacted to try a lots of passes as well as the rushing risk is constantly there. Kenny Golladay, Saquon Barkley, Kadarius Toney, as well as John Ross (remember him?) stepped up in Week 4, so we'll see if they can continue to do so in this divisional competition. |
| 16 | Jalen Hurts, PHI @ CAR. Injures has absolutely indulged in waste time, so there's an opportunity he does it once again this week. The Panthers' defense looked temporal against Dallas, yet we understand the Cowboys' have among the elite offenses in football. Injures can definitely outshine his No. 16 position, yet the match is worrying. If he can indulge today, we'll start to see him as a matchup-proof, must-start QB1. |
| 17 | Justin Herbert, LAC vs. CLE. Cleveland's defense looks very scary, as they've permitted just 151 lawns per video game and also 6.5 factors per game over the past 2 weeks (vs. Bears, @ Vikings). It had not been surprising to see them close down the Bears, however what they did versus a heated Vikings infraction was incredible. Moving forward, we have to view them as one of the toughest matches in dream. That claimed, Herbert can constantly exceed assumptions, however this game might be a defensive struggle. |
| 18 | Derek Carr, LV vs. CHI. Chicago's defense has actually been a mixed bag this period, however they've been a top-12 protection versus quarterbacks in fantasy. Of course, Carr may have a big day based on volume, yet this will certainly be amongst the most skilled secondaries he will face. |
| 19 | Trey Lance, SF @ ARI. Lance scored 20.8 dream factors in just the 2nd fifty percent versus the Seahawks, however we'll solidify expectations for at the very least this week. His rushing capacity establishes his floor and ceiling high, so the advantage here is amazing. Nonetheless, it's his initial NFL begin, so anything can occur. For those of you that have actually awaited this moment, tucking away Lance on your bench, we don't blame you if you start him right away. |
| 20 | Jared Goff, DET @ MINUTES. Goff hasn't looked fantastic in "reality," but he's supplied 3 strong dream video games with over 21 points. Still, his ceiling isn't as high as the guys placed above him. It is worth keeping in mind Minnesota has been a bottom-10 protection versus QBs, so once more, we won't criticize you if you choose to begin him based simply on match. |
| 21 | Trevor Lawrence, JAX vs. TEN. Zach Wilson has a breakout performance versus Tennessee, so it wouldn't be surprising if Lawrence did just that this week. Wilson scored 23.7 dream points as well as sculpted up the Titans' defense in Week 4. We should once more see the Titans as a QB-friendly protection, as well as Lawrence has better weapons around him than Wilson. Still, he has bust potential due to the total ineffectiveness of the crime his suspicious decision-making so far. |
| 22 | Mac Jones, NE @ HOU. Jones excites against the Buccaneers, but this group wants to return to playing the defense as well as running the sphere to win games. Jones can have the most effective video game of his occupation, however we have a tendency to assume New England will attempt to establish their ground attack against a battling Texans defense. For instance, Buffalo defeated Houston by 40 but tossed for fewer than 250 yards and also just two touchdowns. This won't be a 40-point blowout like that game was, but the formula could be the same. All that claimed, Jones definitely has QB2 allure in superflex/two-QB organizations. |
| 23 | Matt Ryan, ATL vs. NYJ. Ryan has his ideal game of 2021 with four passing touchdowns to absolutely no INTs. It's hard to believe, however the Jets' defense is much above the Washington protection. His floor is low and ceiling numbers to be low, as well. |
| 24 | Zach Wilson, NYJ vs. ATL. Wilson broke out against Tennessee, and he'll deal with an additional dreadful second in Week 5 versus Atlanta. This video game remains in London at 9:30 a.m. ET, so probably he'll radiate once more out of the sight of the normal NFL audience. |
| 25 | Taylor Heinicke, WAS vs. NO |
| 26 | Carson Wentz, IND @ BAL |
| 27 | Jacoby Brissett, MIA @ TB |
| 28 | Baker Mayfield, CLE @ LAC |
| 29 | Teddy Bridgewater, DEN @ PIT |
| 30 | Justin Area, CHI @ LV |
| 31 | Ben Roethlisberger, PIT vs. DEN |
| 32 | Davis Mills, HOU vs. NE |
