NFL Week 5 QB Rankings, Start, Sit — 2024 Fantasy Football Rankings

Published:

By: Zach Thompson

In Week 4, Justin Fields broke through for the top QB score of the week. The Steelers’ dual-threat QB went off while trying to lead his team back against the Colts, and even though his comeback fell just short, his fantasy backers were thrilled with. the result. Despite his slow start, he is the QB6 so far this season coming into Monday night’s doubleheader.

Elsewhere at QB, Jordan Love went off in his return from an ankle injury, Baker Mayfield and the Bucs bounced back in a big way, and Jayden Daniels continued his emergence as a top play every week.

On the other end of the spectrum, Anthony Richardson got hurt and left early while Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen both put up duds in their team’s road losses.

Let’s take a look ahead to Week 5! With four teams on a bye, here are my top 10 QBs to start:

  1. Lamar Jackson (vs. CIN)
  2. Jayden Daniels (vs. CLE)
  3. Josh Allen (at HOU)
  4. Kyler Murray (at SF)
  5. C.J. Stroud (vs. BUF)
  6. Jordan Love (at LAR)
  7. Patrick Mahomes (vs. NO)
  8. Baker Mayfield (at ATL)
  9. Justin Fields (vs. DAL)
  10. Sam Darnold (vs. NYJ)

These rankings are based on news and information available as of Monday afternoon. Stay tuned to DraftKings Network throughout the week for ongoing coverage as matchups and situations develop.
