By Brad Weiss
With the NFL Week 8 weekend slate to kick off on Sunday, here is a look at 10 fantasy football quarterback sleepers to target.
Week 8 of the NFL season got kicked off in a big way on Thursday night, with an outstanding NFC matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers. That matchup featured two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but here, we look at some sleepers you may want to target this weekend in terms of fantasy football.
Here is a look at 10 signal-callers who could be solid sleeper adds in Week 8.
10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football 2021 Week 8
10. Daniel Jones at Kansas City (MNF)
It has been an up and down season for New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, but when he is on, he has proven he can be a solid fantasy football quarterback. This week, he will close the Week 8 slate by going on the road to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, and while Mahomes is a must-start, Jones could have a big day as well.
The truth is, for how good Mahomes is, the Chiefs defense is just as terrible, so “Danny Dimes” is someone to keep an eye on this week. He has shown he can run the football and has cut down on his turnovers, so while the Giants are awful, his fantasy value could be the highest it has been in a while.
9. Carson Wentz vs Tennessee
The Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts face off in an AFC South battle this weekend, and I believe that passing yards will be easy to come by. The Colts are getting solid play from Carson Wentz weekly, and against the Titans, he should be in for a fantasy day that could make him a sleeper.
Indianapolis has shown the ability to score points this season, and while Tennessee is coming off a great defensive effort against Kansas City, the NFL is a week-to-week league. The Colts are going to be ready for them, and if they do have success, it will be because Wentz had another good day at the office.
