10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 1
8. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals
This is simply a decent spot for Dalton, believe it or not.
He’s going up against an Indianapolis Colts defense that ranked 32nd in passing DVOA in 2017.
They’ll get Malik Hooker back to play safety, but their starting cornerbacks are atrocious with Pierre Desir and Kenny Moore.
With running back Joe Mixon expected to be a bigger part of the offense as well as John Ross, Dalton is one deep bomb to Ross away from a big day.
This might be his best week of the season, so take advantage.
7. Mitchell Trubisky, Chicago Bears
Going with Trubisky in Lambeau Field Week 1 is a huge risk, but this is dependent on Trubisky’s pure talent and his receivers.
The Bears should be in fairly good shape this year with Allen Robinson at receiver and Trey Burton at tight end, but the Packers stocked up their secondary this past draft with a myriad of talented players.
Robinson will get his work in, but how will Trubisky do? Fortunately, it’s the beginning of the year and not in the dead of winter which helps.
Trubisky can also be a little mobile which adds points, too. If Trubisky can manage to throw a couple touchdowns, he’ll return his value as a sleeper.
