Matt Fitzpatrick Case Study

His stats would tell us he is but really, how important are stats, considering the other three we’ve mentioned had outstanding numbers. However, when Brandon Streeter, quarterbacks coach for Clemson, was asked about how Watson would fair in the NFL, he had nothing but a positive outlook for his star. “He eats and breathes football. He’s in the film room all the time. He’s a gym rat type of kid, and that’s what NFL quarterbacks are made of. I think he’s going to have no problem transitioning to the NFL.”

Many fans did not want the Buccaneers to draft Winston and still have not let off the point of having Marcus Mariota in Tampa Bay. Lets just compare the two QB's. Winston has played in every game of his career Mariota has missed at least one game every season since entering the league. Mariota has always had a very good offensive line with a great running game the last two seasons, outside of Winston's rookie season the Bucs have not had a running attack that scares anyone. Winston has thrown for 10,052 yards in his short career while Mariota has thrown for 7,763. Winston has played with widerecievers that the Bucs have found on the street for the good majority of the seasons at the begining of his career with the injuries that have hit the reciever room.

Rookie quarterbacks are notoriously not the best idea as the primary option on a fantasy football team. Sometimes even the best aren’t worth much more than an occasional streaming option from one week to the next. Another theory is to roll the dice and see if a rookie with immense future potential, lies around on the waiver wire long enough for you to find him an empty roster spot.

gets better and better. Next, Cam and the Panthers Have only one loss and are probably going to win the superbowl. Last, every time Cam gets a touchdown he gives the football to a little kid. Those are the reason fans love Cam Newton.

Taking nothing from him, he at the very least doesn't turn the ball over. Only one interception is his two starts. One of the biggest concerns many people have noticed with him is at times he holds on to the ball a little longer than necessary in the pocket which causes him to get sacked more than he should. Although, he improved that much more in the game against New England than he did against the Chicago Bears the prior

The Big 12 rushing leader last season, Smallwood's strong test numbers don't quite translate to the field, but he's a well-rounded back with a solid pass pro and receiving skills. Doug Pederson will find a way to get him in the rotation often next season. --Mark Dulgerian

In today’s games, the stats are not very impressive. The Bears current starting QB is Matt Berkley. Completing only 129 passes for 1611 yards is not an impressive feat in the NFL. He has only thrown 8 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The leading receiver, Cameron Meredith, has 66 catches for 888 yards. He has fumbled the ball 3 times and lost the ball twice during those 3 fumbles. His

The last few seasons QBs have not been a huge worry as the earliest round that QBs are taken is round 4 or 5 with people like Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger. I still believe Aaron Rodgers is the top fantasy QB because last year he had a 31:8 TD INT ratio. Even with Cam Newton having a break out year last year winning MVP on

Through his first three seasons as the Quarterback for the Chicago Bears, he averaged a horrible 1.29 TD/Int ratio. Yet, the Bears decided to make him the highest paid Quarterback at the time. “It's a big chunk of money to commit to an oft-criticized player like Cutler” (SbNation). Mike Sando, a reporter for ESPN Chicago ranked Cutler’s contract last in the NFL. Said Sando, “Coaches brought in to help Cutler keep getting fired. Meanwhile, Cutler keeps cashing fat checks. Although the true guarantees in his deal were reasonable on paper, the Bears became accountable for another $25 million after Cutler remained on the roster long enough for injury-only guarantees to become fully guaranteed” (Forbes). Cutler’s criticism not only came with his poor play, but with his contract he was awarded

However, you can draft a middle tier Quarterback in the later rounds of the draft and only see up to a 5 weekly point differential from the upper tier. When comparing the “elite” Quarterbacks to a Quarterback ranked in the top 10 to 15, the 5 point differential may even be smaller at times and comparing your 18 point per week player to the “elite” 23 point performer, the 5 points will not dramatically change the final outcome of your league. Since in most leagues, owners will only draft 1 Quarterback through the first 12 rounds of the draft, and assuming that you partake in a league of 10 to 12 owners, there will be reliable fantasy worthy Quarterbacks available deep into the

Ryan has done something we would have never thought possible at the beginign of the season; He has made the Bills' defense worse. Ryan has finally gotten a consitent offensive game, and now his defense is thing that is holding him back. He is supposed to be a defensive guru, but he has been far from that this season. As a team the Bills have a total of 20 sacks this season. Numerous defensive players have made their frusterations clear via the media.

The faster paced offense and the ability to audible should be huge for Tannehill’s fantasy numbers. Tannehill was a top 10 QB in 2014, but had a bit of a decline in 2015. With the renovations on offense, a new coaching staff, and younger players such as Jay Ajayi and DeVante Parker taking on larger roles, it will be interesting to see what kind of effect this has on Tannehill’s fantasy production.

We all know Matt Ryan can throw the football particularly with having weapons outside to catch the football in Julio Jones and Roddy White. Yet he can make some bonehead throws that can cost his football team games. Ryan isn’t consistent enough with his throws some of his throws will be on target, then the other throws will be well off. He doesn’t have a lot of touch on the football at times when he needs to for example interception he threw in red zone two weeks ago against the Eagles instead of floating the ball over the linebacker to where only his wide-receiver could catch it he threw a bullet pass that the linebacker was able to fall back a little bit to catch the football with one hand. Like most quarterbacks you get pressure in their

Peters ' current lack of post-season success shouldn 't be an immediate point for concern, as he came into the team during a major recession in terms of team talent. Most notably offensive stars Alexander Semin and Eric Staal both had major drops in terms of point production during Peters’ first two seasons, both see their way out of Carolina.

Wilson disappointed many fantasy owners (including myself) last week, scoring a measly 16.7 DK points against a lousy Lions’ secondary, but that doesn’t mean we should avoid him this time around. This week he faces the Falcons’ defense, which has allowed the second most DK points to opposing quarterbacks. It’s going to be a high scoring affair, and given the likelihood that both teams score 30 plus points, Wilson is highly likely to have a high number of passing attempts. The amount of volume Wilson provides you this week exceeds what you would expect out of a quarterback at his price. Last time these two teams meant, Wilson only put up 11.5 points, but that was at a time in which he was banged up with multiple injuries. He’s going to have a relatively low
