10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 5
Only the Dophins and Raiders are on byes in Week 5, but that doesn't mean you won't need some sleeper picks.

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

I wrote up Ben Roethlisberger last week because of his matchup with the Buccaneers, and he didn't disappoint. He threw for 314 yards and 3 touchdowns against Tampa Bay.

Last week, I also mentioned that Roethlisberger got to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5, making him a good play for multiple reasons. Well, now he's entering Week 5 and facing that Jaguars defense, which has been repeatedly torched by opposing quarterbacks week after week. The Jags allow 344.3 yards, 2.8 touchdowns, and 24.2 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year, and factoring out a poor Week 1 from Nick Foles, they allow 351.7 yards, 3.0 touchdowns, and 27.2 fantasy points to quarterbacks.

Yes, please.
