10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 5

Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington Redskins

Kirk Cousins has a lot stacked against him heading into Week 5, but he can still put up fantasy numbers. Cousins has hit the 290-yard plateau in back-to-back weeks, but of course, there's more to the logic.

Atlanta ranks 21st in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, so they're a beatable defense -- though not as generous as last season.

Unfortunately, Jordan Reed will have to clear concussion protocol to play in Week 5, and that dude's been eating. Reed has 34 targets through four games and a 22.2% market share of the team's targets, fifth-highest among all tight ends.

Keep an eye out for Reed's status -- and Pierre Garcon's, who is dealing with a knee sprain -- but Cousins could be a source of salary relief in your daily games or a plug-and-play in season-long formats if the quarterback options are thin.
