10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 5

Michael Vick, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Michael Vick and the Steelers head across the country to face the San Diego Chargers in Week 5. The Bolts are three-point favorites, and that's not generally the right recipe for finding fantasy quarterback success. However, Vick's situation might be a bit different.

The Chargers rank 15th in the league in our Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play metric, which compares a team's pass defense to expectation-level. They're 24th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play, so there's a good chance the Steelers won't be stymied by San Diego.

Vick still has Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell at his disposal, and he'll be getting Martavis Bryant for the first time.

There's enough firepower to pick up production, and even in a horrible Week 4 outing, Vick posted 33 rushing yards. Our algorithms project him for 40 yards on the ground in Week 5 and to finish as the 15th-best fantasy quarterback on the weekend.
