It’s all about the matchups as we head into the new week. Who stands to gain the most this week and who could secure a pivotal win for your team?

It always ends up big for quarterbacks and we’ve got a few here today. We’re heading toward some other key points of note as well. Who are you teetering on starting and need confidence in?

Let’s look at 10 matchups that should pay big dividends in fantasy in Week 5.

No 10. Blake Bortles vs. Kansas City

BOAT is back. Well it was a better week for Jacksonville facing the Jets and that should lead quite nicely into this weekend against Kansas City as well.

It wasn’t New England, but Bortles had a really good game Sunday with 388 yards and a pair of touchdowns, his most yards in a game this season so far. Bortles was also efficient, which can make the Jaguars dangerous if he keeps it up. He went 29-of-38 on the day — not bad.

This matchup is good for Bortles for a couple reasons. Jacksonville have one of the best defenses in the league, but the Chiefs still have too many weapons not to put up points. Bortles plays up and should play up this week against that Chiefs secondary which still struggles a lot through the air.

If the Chiefs get the ball rolling and/or Bortles gets hot first, this matchup is great for him to build more confidence.
