Sleepers at Quarterback

Bryce Young, Carolina (vs Tampa Bay)

Young appeared to have a major breakthrough after the bye week in the Dave Canales offense. He looked like Alabama Bryce Young - who was worthy of a very a high pick, if not #1 - for the first time in his NFL career. He'll face a very vulnerable Bucs pass defense primed to start to deliver on the big investment the Panthers made in him. He has some QB2/Superflex and streamer value this week.

Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh (at Cincinnati)

Wilson was the best part of the Steelers offense in the snow against the Browns, but Arthur Smith didn't seem to get the memo until the fourth quarter. Facing Joe Burrow this week, the Steelers might not be able to afford to slow play the offense with a lot of early down running. The Bengals defense has been one of the easiest to solve in the NFL, so Wilson has a high ceiling in a potential shootout.

Drake Maye, New England (vs Indianapolis)

Maye didn't come through for us last week despite a play-from-way-behind game script that can often be good for dual-threat quarterbacks who must create much of the offense on their own. This week could be better because the Patriots are facing a Colts defense that was beaten up by the Lions' running game in a lopsided win last week. The Lions hangover effect has been real for everyone but the Texans, who faced a discombobulated Cowboys team with an extra day of rest.

Matthew Stafford, LA Rams (at New Orleans)

Stafford has been up and down since Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp returned, but everything is set up for a big up week in the Superdome. The Saints have been very generous to opposing quarterbacks lately - 395 passing yards and two scores to Jameis Winston, 306 passing yards to Kirk Cousins, 279 passing yards and two scores to Justin Herbert, and 325 passing yards and four scores to Baker Mayfield all happened since Week 6.
