Ellis' favorite Week 5 prop bets on Sleeper. This week he selected has selected a prop for a quarterback, wide receiver, and two running backs. Use Ellis' picks to win money on Sleeper!
We are back with prop picks from Sleeper. Last week we held tight, with two correct selections and two misses. This week we have four new picks and will hopefully build on our total record of 4-4.
In light of the MLB playoffs, if we can manage to hit above .500, I’d be very happy. Considering two of our misses have come from a player having six or fewer yards than predicted, it’s only a matter of time.
My name is Ellis Johnson and I have been writing for RotoBaller for four years. You can catch my weekly Fantasy Pie Shop articles on RotoBaller (trust me, it’s as fun as it sounds). RotoBaller is coming out with weekly DFS plays and lots of great analysis with their DFS pass. Be sure to check it out as the team has been crushing it so far this year!

Zach Wilson (QB, NYJ)
Over 202.5 passing yards
I understand this is a little nasty but trust the process here. The Broncos just allowed Justin Feilds (who looked like the worst passer in the league) to go 16 of 17 for 231 and three touchdowns in the first half. Plus, that’s on the back of allowing the Dolphins to drop 70 points on them.
Surprisingly, the matchup isn’t the only thing I like about this prop. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Zach Wilson looked good last week. In the second half, he found his groove in a very competitive matchup against the defending Super Bowl champions. If he can channel half of the ability we saw last week, passing for 200 on this Broncos team should be a walk in the park.
Brett Maher (K, LAR)
Over 1.5 Feild Goals Made
You bet we are throwing in a kicker prop this week. After spending most of his career in Dallas, Maher has been having a very productive season with the Rams. The Rams have been a fantastic offense both for fantasy and real life. Their consolidation of targets and usage makes it easy to predict and fun to watch.
Maher has attempted two or more field goals in every game but one this season and has made each of his attempts. He now faces an Eagles team that does not look like they did last year, but they are certainly dominating the competition. As a result, the Rams are going to need every point they can get. This is going to be a fun game to watch, and I expect both kickers will have plenty of opportunities to make an impact.

Marquise Brown (WR, ARI)
Over 53.5 total yards
Quietly this Cardinals team has strung together four very competitive matchups. Not only has the entire team performed above expectations, but this offense is sneakily quite productive.
Michael Wilson Jr. and Marquise Brown have both flashed big plays and are Joshua Dobbs’ top targets. Brown has surpassed this line in each of his last three games and now faces the Bengals' defense that fails to show up every week.
The Bengals need this game if they remotely want to save their season, ultimately setting the table for a potential shootout. If that’s the case, Brown should find his way to well over 53 yards.
Ja’Marr Chase (WR, CIN)
Over 80.5 total yards
Building off the case I made for Hollywood Brown, Chase should also have a nice day. This team is floundering and is now facing a mediocre Cardinals defense on the road.
With Tee Higgins likely to miss with a broken rib, Chase may increase his involvement, which is already absurd. Over the last two games, Chase has 24 targets and 214 yards as he single-handedly tried to will his team to win. We know the targets are going to be there, so I’m banking on Chase’s elite talent to take advantage of this matchup and find his way well over 80 yards.
If you are to package these props, you will receive 10.36x your money. That’s a pretty penny if you ask me. Thank you for checking out my work, be sure to watch for the Pie Shop each week as well!
