Week 5 GLSP Review: QB Streaming Options and RB/WR Flex Plays

Welcome back to the GLSP review. In this weekly article, we’ll use the RotoViz GSLP projections to identify streaming options at the quarterback position, as well as running backs and wide receivers that make compelling cases for flex consideration.

If you’re new to the site or unfamiliar with the GLSP process, please read through the link below before making use of GLSP this season.

As a reminder, GLSP considers a player in isolation and does not consider external factors such as the availability of the other players on his team, his personal health, or any other factors that would not be present in historical data.

QB Streaming Options

Matt Ryan vs. New York Jets – AVG GLSP 21.2

Matt Ryan put together his first QB1 performance of the season in Week 4, amassing 283 yards and four touchdown passes against Washington. The GLSP expects his fortune to continue against the Jets. Ryan is projected for an average stat line of 38 passing attempts, 320 yards, and 2.1 touchdowns. His comp group produced extremely encouraging results when facing defenses similar to New York’s. In fact, just 12% failed to score 15.0 or more points and 56% scored 20.0 or more.

The Jets have limited QB scoring in 2021. Sam Darnold, who scored a rushing touchdown, managed just 19.1 in Week 1, Mac Jones was held to 7.4 in his second NFL start, Teddy Bridgewater only put up 11.9 in Week 3, and Ryan Tannehill was held to 18.8. Atlanta is a 3.5-point favorite in a game with an over/under of 43. As a result, it may be hard for Ryan to realize the top-end of his distribution, but he still makes for one of the best streamers of the week and is available in nearly 70% of ESPN leagues.
