We're beginning to get a clear picture of who are going to be steady producers and which defenses are susceptible to give up a lot of fantasy points to quarterbacks. We now have a month's worth of data and stats, so hopefully, our Week 5 fantasy QB rankings will be our best yet, and a certain preseason sleeper joining the mix gets us off to good start.Trey Lance (@ Cardinals) will certainly be one of the most-watched QBs this week. We got a taste of his upside after he replaced Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) in the https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/rodions-kurucs-jersey second half last week when Lance had 157pa sing yards, 41 rushing yards, two TDs, and a two-point conversion. His overall performance was merely average, as most of his production came on a blown coverage and in garbage time, but Lance can still pile up points in a hurry. The Cardinals are a statistically below-average matchup and did a good job holding down Matthew Stafford until he tacked on a late garbage-time TD last week, so we don't have Lance in our top 12, but he certainly has that kind of upside if things break right. He's certainly a must-start in two-QB/superflex leagues.WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | Jalen Hurts (@ Panthers) has continued to feast in garbage time, but he'll play one of the league's toughest defenses on the road in Week 5. Ru sell Wilson (vs. Rams) on a short week could be due for a down game as well, but https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/jordan-bowden-jersey he's near-impo sible to bench. The same isn't true for Hurts, but he has similar upside, so bench him at your own risk despite being slotted at 16th on https://www.shophornetsedge.com our list.WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Some historically middle-of-the-pack quarterbacks have juicy matchups this week. Kirk Cousins (vs. Lions) has a chance to drop another 30-burger if this game stays close; Daniel Jones (@ Cowboys) can drop a nice fantasy stat line whether the game is close or not, and perhaps Sam Darnold (vs. Eagles) can continue his hot start to the season. Joe Burrow (vs. Green Bay) will get his first chance to duel Aaron Rodgers, and this could be a shootout in Cincinnati, so we think Burrow is a QB1 this week.WEEK 5 DFS LINEUPS: | | Rookies Mac Jones (@ Texas), Trevor Lawrence (@ Titans), and Zach Wilson (vs. Falcons) have good matchups, so consider them in play in two-QB/superflex leagues. Wilson gets to play at 9:30 a.m. ET in London, so maybe he'll shine while nobody is watching. How sweet would it be to sleep in on Sunday, roll out of bed, and see that he has three touchdowns? He's been awful thus far, but anything can happen against the Falcons.MORE WEEK 5 https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-hoodie DFS: | | Matt Ryan (vs. Jets) looks juicy on paper; however, the Jets have actually been solid against quarterbacks. Heading into Week 4, they were allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to the position and held Ryan Tannehill to one TD. You might think this is only because teams have let up on them, but when you dive deeper, their defense hasn't actually been that bad. Baker Mayfield (@ Chargers) and Teddy Bridgewater (@ Steelers) have exceeded expectations in some weeks, but they're both on the road with very difficult matchups. There's a chance Bridgewater doesn't play, as he's dealing with a concu sion, but Drew Lock certainly wouldn't be in play either. Justin Herbert (vs. Browns) and Derek Carr (vs. Bears) have been starters most weeks, but their matchups make them tough to trust.WEEK 5 FANTASY: | | This week seems to have a lot of value in the middle to late parts of the rankings. Some under-the-radar https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/jeff-green-jersey guys have solid matchups, while some of the studs are in tough spots. Most times, you still want to https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/deandre-jordan-jersey go with the studs, but there's no harm in considering all options at the quarterback position. This will be the last week for a while without bye weeks, so moving forward, your options will be more limited. Enjoy this while you can.Note: We'll be updating these QB rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest changes and analysis. RankPlayer1Josh Allen, BUF @ KC2Kyler Murray, ARI vs. SF3Lamar Jackson, BAL vs. IND4Patrick Mahomes, KC vs. BUF5Matthew Stafford, LAR @ SEA6Dak Prescott, DAL vs. NYG7Tom Brady, TB vs. MIA8Kirk Cousins, MIN vs. DET.Cousins scored at least 22 fantasy points in each game leading up to Week 4. Against Cleveland, he scored a mere 10.1 points. Look for him to get back on track against the Lions, who are among the top-10 friendliest defenses to QBs in fantasy.9Aaron Rodgers, GB @ CIN10Ru sell Wilson, SEA vs. LAR.This could shape up to be an ugly Thursday nighter, but we know the skillset Wilson brings to the table. Tom Brady and Kyler Murray have eclipsed 25 fantasy points against the Rams in the past two weeks, so Wilson could certainly https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/buck-williams-jersey do the same.11Joe Burrow, CIN vs. GB.Burrow has scored 19 or more fantasy points in three of his four games, and Green Bay will be the second-worst defense against QBs he will face so far this year. He scored 25.8 fantasy points against Jacksonville, and the Green Bay secondary isn't much better (bottom five against QBs). Expect a high-scoring affair here as Burrow battles Aaron Rodgers for the first time. If Joe Mixon (ankle) is out, Cincinnati will likely lean pa s more than we've seen in 2021.12Sam Darnold, CAR vs. PHI.Even in a game where the Panthers got crushed, Darnold scored 30-plus fantasy points against Dallas. His stellar rushing ability has been surprising, and the Eagles' defense has been exposed in back-to-back weeks, giving up 41.5 points per game over those two contests.13Ryan Tannehill, TEN @ JAX.Tannehill hasn't lived up to the preseason hype, but it's hard to blame him with A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (leg) https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-t-shirts being ineffective even when they're on the field. Still, his season-low point total was in Week 1 against Arizona (18.3 points), so he's been serviceable. If Brown and/or Jones play, he certainly can produce a QB1 game https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/spencer-dinwiddie-jersey against Jacksonville. Tyrod Taylor, Teddy Bridgewater, Kyler Murray, and Joe Burrow all feasted on the Jags, so Tannehill should, too, even if Jones or Brown can't go.14Jameis Winston, NO @ WAS.Since his five-touchdown performance in Week 1, Winston has hovered between 10 and 15 fantasy points. However, Washington has allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks and Matt Ryan threw for four touchdowns against them in Week 4. Winston has yet to attempt more than 23 pa sing attempts, but he can get it done with efficiency here against an awful d
