Week 5 QB Rankings
53 players ranked · STD scoring · Updated
Past week — Week 8 is current.
Dak Prescott of DAL is the number one QB in Week 5 STD scoring at home against TB, in a game where his offense is implied for 29.5 points, projected for 21.5 points. 15 QBs sit in tiers 1 and 2 combined, and those are the ones you start without thinking. The week's real question mark is Drake Maye at QB7, where confidence is low because strong usage, week-to-week role has been volatile.
