10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football 2021 Week 8
By Brad Weiss
6. Geno Smith vs Jacksonville
The Seattle Seahawks usually have a quarterback under center who is a must-start in fantasy football, but they will be without Russell Wilson for a bit more time. That means it is once again the Geno Smith show in Seattle, as they welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to town in Week 8.
Smith may not be a fantasy football darling, but he is a player who can get the job done on occasion, and this Jacksonville defense has not been able to stop many quarterbacks this season. This could be an ugly game, but in the end, look for Smith to find the end zone a few times for the Seahawks.
5. Trevor Lawrence at Seattle
The Seattle Seahawks will welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to town in Week 8, and we like both quarterbacks in this matchup in terms of fantasy football. We have already discussed Geno Smith going up against the Jaguars defense, but how about rookie Trevor Lawrence doing some work against Seattle.
Lawrence has had an up and down rookie season, which is to be expected, but he is a guy who can fill the stat sheet weekly. I like for this game to be a shootout on Sunday, and both quarterbacks will be fantasy sleepers, with Lawrence having a better day than Geno in this one.
