Sleeper Quarterbacks
Daniel Jones, NY Giants (vs Cincinnati)
Jones' play has been improving since a poor Week 1, and he played his best game of the year in Week 5 even though his all-world rookie receiver Malik Nabers was sidelined. Nabers is not a sure thing to return this week, but the matchup against the Bengals should more than make up for that when calculating Jones' ceiling. The Bengals have given up nine total touchdowns to quarterbacks in the last three weeks, including a pair to Andy Dalton, who cratered the following week against the Bears.
Will Levis, Tennessee (vs Indianapolis)
Hopefully, the Titans made a few bye-week adjustments to help Levis cut down on his catastrophic errors because the matchup this week is set up for him to flourish and increase his confidence. Over the last three games, the quarterbacks facing the Colts have accounted for seven total touchdowns, with none posting less than two, and all three passed for over 300 yards. The murderer's row of quarterbacks that posted these numbers? Caleb Williams, Justin Fields, and Trevor Lawrence.
Justin Fields, Pittsburgh (at Las Vegas)
Fields is a true boom/bust play this week. The Raiders matchup is a good one for fantasy, with Andy Dalton and Bo Nix each accounting for three total scores against them over the last three games, but if the Raiders are not competitive, then the Steelers will be hyper-conservative on offense, and Fields numbers will be low. Proceed with caution, but know that Fields only needs to break a long run and complete a long touchdown to George Pickens before the game gets out of hand for him to hit.
Drake Maye, New England (vs Houston)
Maye could be overwhelmed in his first NFL start facing the imposing Texans pass rush duo of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, but he could also take the Texans by surprise with his athleticism and penchant for playing outside of structure. The league could and should catch up to his tendencies once he has a few starts under his belt, but at least for this week, he has fantasy upside riding the wave of adrenaline playing in front of a home crowd about to watch their new franchise quarterback in his maiden voyage.
