10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football NFL 2021 Week 5
By Brad Weiss
6. Trevor Lawrence vs Titans
Sure, the Jacksonville Jaguars are terrible, and sure their head coach was in the headlines once again this week, but quarterback Trevor Lawrence could go off in this one. The Tennessee Titans have had major issues on defense, and have been up and down all season long, while Lawrence will be looking to get back on track after a tough Thursday night loss against Cincinnati.
Having a few extra days to prepare for the Titans should help Lawrence and this offense, and you can expect him to take it to the air time and time again. The likelihood is that the Jags will be down early against Tennesse, so you can expect a bunch of yards from Lawrence, but watch out for the interceptions.
5. Joe Burrow vs Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers did a nice job against Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, winning by ten inside Lambeau Field. On Sunday in Week 5, they will not be playing a quarterback who looks like his feet are in cement, but instead, a dynamic signal-caller who has the Cincinnati Bengals sitting at 3-1 on the young season.
Joe Burrow is playing excellent football right now, and after playing against Jacksonville on Thursday night, he has extra time to prepare for the Packers’ defense. This is a Green Bay defense that has been beatable this season, and Burrow is playing with the kind of confidence that could net you a ton of fantasy points this weekend.
