1139: Week 5 Sleepers
The episode turns a stronger Week Four showing into a practical test of which overlooked fantasy options deserve another look.
- 1Week Four sleepers performed better than the opening weeks, though Dalton Schultz, Kalif Raymond, Marcus Mariota, and Jacoby Brissett produced mixed results.
- 2The Week Five preview emphasizes streaming quarterbacks, including Jayden Daniels, Daniel Jones, Bryce Young, and C.J. Stroud.
- 3Lower-tier wide receivers and other overlooked options broaden the Week Five search beyond obvious fantasy starters.
Don't miss
The episode moves from a notably improved Week Four review into a crowded Week Five quarterback sleeper preview.
The brief
J.J. Zachariason opens by reviewing his Week Four sleeper recommendations, which he says represented a significant improvement over the first three weeks.
The review balances successes with misses, examining Dalton Schultz, Kalif Raymond, Marcus Mariota, and Jacoby Brissett rather than treating the week as a clean sweep.
The Week Five preview shifts toward streaming quarterbacks, with Jayden Daniels, Daniel Jones, Bryce Young, and C.J. Stroud among the candidates discussed.
The search then widens to lower-tier wide receivers and other overlooked players, including Mack Hollins, Mike Gesicki, Devon Vele, and Ollie Gordon.
The episode’s central tension is simple: a stronger recent result supports the sleeper process, but the next slate still demands careful separation between viable options and misses.
