10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football 2021 Week 8
By Brad Weiss
4. Kirk Cousins vs Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys could be without starting quarterback Dak Prescott in a crucial NFC matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. While Prescott could be watching from the sidelines, the quarterback to watch in this game is on the other team, as Kirk Cousins is having another solid season in Minnesota.
Cousins has some outstanding targets, including arguably the best wideout duo in the league in Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. They are going to have success in this one, and while he may be intercepted by Trevon Diggs, he will throw for over 300 yards and a couple of scores on Sunday.
3. Justin Fields vs San Francisco
The San Francisco 49ers are an absolute mess right now, and they are very non-committal as to whether or not Jimmy Garoppolo is the long-term answer at quarterback. On the other sideline in this matchup, the Chicago Bears know who their long-term signal-caller will be, as Justin Fields is a bright star for the franchise.
On Sunday, Fields and his Bears team will play host to the 49ers, and I believe this could be his best start as a pro. The 49ers defense is nothing to write home about, and when all is said and done, I like Fields to find the end zone with his arm a few times, and his legs at least once.
