This week’s fantasy football slate at quarterback is a reminder that “safe” options aren’t as easy to find as they were a few years ago, even among big-name passers and hyped young talents. Some veteran arms are grinding through ugly stretches while still keeping their teams afloat, which creates a tricky gap between what looks solid on TV and what actually wins your matchup.
At the same time, a few younger and mid-tier quarterbacks are flashing just enough upside to tempt managers into chasing ceilings that may not really be there. With playoff spots on the line, the gap between a boring 14-point outing and a surprise spike week under center could decide everything.
Aaron Rodgers | PIT (at BAL)
This has a real Brett Favre in his sunset feel to it, and I just don’t love seeing Hall of Fame caliber players go out on their shield like this.
Aaron Rodgers was a bloody mess working through Sunday’s game against the Bills, the third time in four contests in which he averaged under six yards per pass. He finished November with three touchdown passes in four games and has yet to reach 250 yards through the air once in 2025.
The Ravens boast the sixth-best red zone defense in the NFL, and with Rodgers unable (or unwilling) to attack vertically (one deep completion on 14 attempts over his past four games), it’s hard to talk yourself into anything but another dud.
Some retire from the game, some have the game retire them.
Baker Mayfield | TB (vs NO)
Baker Mayfield was gutty on Sunday against the Cardinals, as we’ve come to expect, but the help wasn’t there, and the game didn’t skew in the needed direction for him to impact fantasy lineups.
Sadly, I think there’s a good chance we see more of the same in this spot with his Bucs installed as more than a touchdown favorite.
Chris Godwin looked far better than I expected, but he dropped a touchdown over the weekend, and he wasn’t the only one to let his QB down. Following the dropped score, Mayfield did what anyone would: he found the best set of hands on the team and went that way.
Tristan Wirfs with the thick man touchdown!
Mayfield has only two top-15 finishes at the position since getting there in Week 6, and he’s in a logjam of a tier that extended from QB11 down to QB17. At the moment, he checks in as my QB12, just behind Jordan Love and ahead of Daniel Jones.
Bo Nix | DEN (at LV)
It certainly does feel like we are entering a ‘less is more’ era for Bo Nix.
Not in the usage department (Sunday night was his fourth game with 40+ pass attempts this season), but in the type of usage. His average depth of throw against the Commanders was a season-low 4.4 yards, and his upside through the air dipped in a meaningful way in November.
- September-October: 0.43 fantasy points per pass
- November: 0.31 fantasy points per pass
That may not seem like a ton, but multiply it by 40 attempts, and it’s a 4.8-point swing (in Week 13, less than three fantasy points separated QB3 from QB9, and 4.6 was the difference from QB5 to QB13).
It matters.
I liked seeing him spread the ball around last week (eight players had multiple receptions), and Vegas allows the third most red zone trips per game this season at 3.9. There’s certainly a path to him posting top 10 numbers, but with the rushing more misses than hits lately and my belief that the Broncos may not need to go with a high volume passing attack, he sits at QB15 for me.
C.J. Stroud | HOU (at KC)
Does this season feel weird to anyone else?
It does to me, so I looked into it.
Last year, through 13 weeks, 20 times did a starting quarterback throw 10+ passes, win the game, and score less than 10 fantasy points.
That’s a bit of a mouthful, but it’s basically a look at how often a team has needed basically nothing from their QB to get the desired result on the scoreboard.
We’ve had 28 this season, a list that C.J. Stroud joined for the first time last week against the Colts, a game that saw him throw 35 passes but finish with zero touchdowns.
For the season, he has just 11 TD passes on 277 attempts, and facing the seventh-best red zone defense in the league isn’t exactly a get-right spot for him.
This defense seems to keep every game tight, no matter how the offense is performing, and that means the coaching staff is happy with Stroud as long as he doesn’t make a major mistake.
His aDOT is similar to last season (8.2 from 8.3), but the percentage of passes thrown 15+ yards downfield has fallen from 22.9% to 18.8%. He’s picking and choosing his spots based on the circumstance, and that’s a great plan for the Texans.
It leaves us wanting more, with little path to getting it.
Stroud was fantasy’s top-scoring QB back in Week 5, but that’s his only top-10 finish of the season, and I don’t think we see that change here. Despite a lack of a running game and a game-breaking receiver, Stroud is on the outside looking in at streaming options in a week that has four teams on a bye.
Caleb Williams | CHI (at GB)
The Bears are rolling right now, and the Ben Johnson system is being executed, but in the fantasy world, it looks nothing like it did in Detroit a season ago.
That’s fine for the leaders of the NFC North, but Williams isn’t a viable option for us right now, and the Packers on an extended week isn’t exactly a spot where I expect that to flip.
How did Chicago upset Philadelphia on Black Friday? Well, 281 rushing yards helps, and over 38 minutes of possession is a good way to get it done.
Some teams require their best players to put up massive fantasy numbers to keep up (think the 2024 Bengals), and those are the situations that lead us to success. Offenses like this, the Chicago one, are often detrimental.
We see the success, and we want a piece of the action. Williams has the tools of a fantasy asset, and we saw it earlier in the season, but he was under 59% complete in every November game, has failed to throw for multiple scores in three of his past four, and has cleared 27 rushing yards in nine of his past 11.
He’s a game manager as far as we are concerned. The turnover he threw last week was his first in over a month, a result of a conservative plan. The Rome Odunze breakout season has hit the skids, and Williams has gone four straight without a 30-yard completion.
He’s developing into a better NFL QB but regressing as a fantasy option. He spread out the looks in Week 13 (3-6 targets to six of his teammates), another trait that holds more weight in “real” football than our game.
The growth is great for this franchise and bad for us. Both things can be true.
Cameron Ward | TEN (at CLE)
We are in December, and Cam Ward is still looking for the first multi-TD pass game of his career (412 attempts and seven touchdowns). While I do believe that subtle positive steps are being taken, a season low 3.7 yards per attempt over the weekend against the Jags was a disaster.
The Titans are at least letting him learn. That’s three straight games with 37+ pass attempts, and I think we will see that pay dividends in the future, maybe as soon as 2026 if this team can improve the cast around him.
That might be wishful thinking.
The recent uptick in volume gives Myles Garrett and Company a pathway to hanging a big D/ST fantasy point total the way the Seahawks did last week against the Vikings, swinging matchups left and right.
Daniel Jones | IND (at JAX)
It’s now or never.
I understand that the strong start to the season from Daniel Jones could be a big reason as to why you’re in the playoff mix right now. Still, if he can’t right the ship in a big way this weekend, you’re not going to be even close to considering him next week in Seattle, the first round of the postseason for many.
Dimes has been held under 17 fantasy points in four straight, and while the last two can be explained away by matchups (Chiefs and Texans), you need to be comfortable in your QB producing in any spot if you’re starting him with the season on the line.
The Jags allow the fourth most completions per game (23.8), so there’s hope on the volume side of things for a quarterback that hasn’t reached 20 completions in three straight and has seen 54 attempts total, just 382 yards over his past two.
There’s hope, but I’m pessimistic.
Single-digit rushing yards in four of his past six games mean it is a cheat code we can no longer bank on, and his 2-of-11, 14-yard performance when blitzed last week could have a lasting impact on how teams defend the Colts.
In Weeks 1-6, the Jags blitzed at the 15th highest rate, but since then, they rank ninth, and I’d expect plenty of exotic looks in this critical game. Jones is outside my circle of trust, ranking outside my top 12, mainly because I don’t see a tremendous ceiling.
Geno Smith | LV (vs DEN)
If you need me to sell you on fading Geno Smith, you haven’t been paying attention.
If you need me to sell you on fading the Broncos matchup, you haven’t been paying attention.
This very movable force met the immovable object a month ago, and it went about how you’d expect: 5.5 yards per attempt, zero touchdowns, and six sacks.
I’d rarely advocate for a reasonable WR3 over a QB in a Superflex setting, but yeah, I’d rather play Smith’s former teammate in Jakobi Meyers (vs. IND) if stuck between a rock and a hard place in a league like that. Smith has two finishes better than QB15 this season, has two multi-pass-TD games over his past eight games, and hasn’t reached 15 rushing yards in a game since September.
J.J. McCarthy | MIN (vs WAS)
Max Brosmer got the start last week for J.J. McCarthy (concussion), something that some speculated was a soft benching.
Label it whatever you’d like: McCarthy hasn’t shown anything on the field to dismiss those questions. For the season, he’s completed just 54.1% of his passes with 10 interceptions against six touchdowns.
There have been moments of viability, and he’s making the effort to get his top options the ball, but failing to do so at a comical level.
Only time will tell what McCarthy’s future holds in the NFL, but for fantasy purposes, he’s not close to mattering, something that is difficult to do given the situation he’s in.
Jacoby Brissett | ARI (vs LAR)
This is a volume-based business, and it would appear that you’re never going to get cheated on that front when you invest in Jacoby Brissett.
The “backup” QB has put the ball in the air 40+ times in four straight, and he’s completed over 72% of his attempts in two of his past three. The touchdown came in the red zone last week against the Bucs, a crushing mistake in a game that ended up being a 20-17 loss, but for our purposes, he continues to pay the bills with an elevated floor.
Brissett has multiple TD tosses in six of seven starts, and it’s really not a complicated formula: throw it to your best players.
Marvin Harrison was welcomed back with seven targets, combining with Trey McBride for 48.3% of Arizona’s receptions. Much like the initial Joe Flacco burst, opponents know exactly where the targets are going, and they can’t do anything about it.
Bryce Young completed 75% of his passes against the Rams last week. That’s not to say that this elite defense is now vulnerable, but it’s a gentle reminder that matchups are a single data point, not the entire story. I’ve got Brissett ranked as a low-end QB1 and think you’re going to keep rolling him out there until we have a real reason to pivot.
Jalen Hurts | PHI (at LAC)
Is it just me, or is it hard to find an elite quarterback we truly feel good about these days?
Jalen Hurts finished Friday’s loss with reasonable counting numbers (261 total yards with a pair of touchdown passes to A.J. Brown). Still, one scoring drive came with the game essentially already decided.
No one cares for fantasy purposes, but you get the idea: things just don’t look the same as they did a year ago. Hurts has completed under 58% of his passes in three of his past four and largely doesn’t look comfortable in dictating this offense through the air.
The Tush Push touchdowns are always a factor, so the fact that he’s cleared 30 rushing yards in three straight is encouraging. This is a difficult matchup, but it feels like this unit is more about internal battles than about how the opponent approaches them. Hurts’ overarching issues have less impact on value, and that’s why you can continue to bank on him as a fine QB1, even if the current ceiling doesn’t match what you had in mind back in August.
Jayden Daniels | WAS (at MIN)
It’s believed that Jayden Daniels (elbow) could suit up for this game after practicing in part last week, thus setting the stage.
We could debate about the rationale that goes into that decision, but at the end of the day, that’s not our job. This season, he has a rush TD or multiple passing scores in four of six games, and while it hasn’t looked the same as his standout rookie season, a healthy version of him is a fantasy asset.
After this week, the Commanders go Giants-Eagles-Cowboys to close the fantasy season. We catch a break with the second Philadelphia game coming in Week 18, and the other three opponents over that stretch don’t scare me in a major way.
We can deal with the Eagles matchup in Week 16 (a Saturday kickoff) when/if the time comes. I’ve got him penciled into my top 12 this week, understanding that this was a non-throwing arm injury that, if he’s comfortable, should only impact his viability for our purposes in a minor way.
Joe Burrow | CIN (at BUF)
Was Joe Burrow in his borderline MVP form on Thursday night?
Not close.
Did he show enough to consider him a strong play for the remainder of this season?
Without a doubt.
In a road game against an improving Ravens defense, he completed 24-of-46 passes for 261 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He took just one sack, threw a touchdown against the blitz, and showed far more pocket mobility than I expected after the toe injury cost him over two months.
That’s all we needed, right? Breadcrumbs. No one expected a vintage performance; we were just happy to have Burrow back in our lives, and I thought he delivered.
What will I be looking for this weekend in terms of areas of growth? Here’s a look at how last week stacked up with his career rates in some categories that I often monitor when chasing fantasy upside.
Week 13 vs. Ravens
- 28.6% deep completion rate
- 4.7 YPA when pressured
- 65.2 red zone passer rating
Career
- 44.9% deep completion rate
- 6.8 YPA when pressured
- 96.3 red zone passer rating
We went from zero production to an upset win over a desperate rival. I’d say that’s a win for all involved. I’d have no problem rolling Burrow out there as my fantasy starter for the remainder of the way (assuming you were streaming the position every week, you can feel good about using that roster spot to add flex depth instead of rostering a second QB).
Jordan Love | GB (vs CHI)
Get pressure or pay the consequences.
It sounds simplistic, and that’s because it is. If you don’t speed up Jordan Love, he’s going to pick you apart systematically.
During this three-game win streak, he’s completed 33-of-45 non-pressured passes (73.3%) for 406 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. On Thanksgiving, he trimmed his circle of trust regarding usage, a sign that he might be getting comfortable with his weapons.
In the upset of the Lions, 174 of his 234 passing yards, not to mention three of four touchdowns, went to Dontayvion Wicks or Christian Watson. In a lot of ways, he’s maturing, but there is one more step he needs to take before putting himself in the tier of pocket-based QBs whom I trust weekly.
Play-Action YPA
- 2023: 9.5
- 2024: 8.9
- 2025: 7.9
We’ve got some shootout potential in this spot, and that’s where I like playing Love. This is an offense that prefers to function through the ground game, but if Chicago can push the pace a bit, we stand to see over 20 completions for the first time in a month from Love.
The skill set comes with risk, but there are enough paths to success in a game that projects like this for me to feel confident in plugging in Green Bay’s signal caller.
Josh Allen | BUF (vs CIN)
Josh Allen wasn’t asked to do much on Sunday, and that resulted in an underwhelming fantasy day by his superhuman standards, but if 16.7 fantasy points is in play for a day that sees Buffalo running backs record 42 rush attempts, we take it.
With the touchdown run in the fourth quarter, Allen broke Cam Newton’s career record for rushing scores at the position (76) in the most Allen way possible: a bruising/physical carry that only he is capable of.
I was encouraged by him getting Keon Coleman a touchdown. We will see if that has a lasting impact, but it can’t hurt. Sunday’s game saw 33 total points put on the board: would it surprise you if BOTH teams scored 33 in this spot?
That’s extreme, but you get the idea. Last week was an outlier, and you have nothing to worry about.
Justin Herbert | LAC (vs PHI)
Justin Herbert has three straight finishes outside of the top 15 at the position and is now dealing with off-hand surgery ahead of this Monday nighter.
Not great.
Since their Week 9 bye, the Eagles have allowed just one QB (Dak Prescott) to reach his season average, and even that came with a slanted game script, with the Cowboys falling behind by 21 early.
There’s a world in which we see Herbert lean into his athleticism and get us there as a result. We’ve seen him do it a few times this season (three games with 50+ rush yards), and with a variety of weapons for Philadelphia to keep tabs on, it’s possible.
I’m cautiously optimistic. The Bolts will have a better feel for what their QB can/can’t do than the opponent, and that has me thinking they have a scheme advantage.
That said, there’s more risk than normal with Herbert, and if you wanted to play a Sam Darnold or Bo Nix type over him, I wouldn’t blame you.
Kirk Cousins | ATL (vs SEA)
Kirk Cousins has three touchdowns on 108 attempts this season, and we saw everything we needed to during Atlanta’s first drive in New York last week.
First Drive
- Bijan Robinson, six-yard run
- Bijan Robinson, 11-yard run (first down)
- Bijan Robinson, four-yard run
- Deven Thompkins, five-yard run
- Tyler Allgeier, -1-yard run
- Punt
In a game in which they were favored, they had no interest in putting the game in the hands of their veteran QB, and I think that’s something that is here to stay.
Seattle ranks in the top quarter of the league in opponent drive distance, scoring percentage, and red zone defense. This is a near-impossible spot for most QBs, and most spots are a near-impossible spot for Cousins at this point in his career.
I’m not saying the Seahawks defense breaks the slate for a second consecutive week, but it’s certainly on the table.
Kyler Murray | ARI (vs LAR)
Kyler Murray hasn’t played since Week 5, and with the team not opening his window to return this week, he’ll miss at least one more contest.
With the 3-9 Cardinals eliminated from playoff contention and Murray’s $230.5 million deal extending through the 2028 season, it’s not hard to imagine him having played his last game this season.
The money alone gives him a great chance to regain his starting gig next season, but I’m not holding him in redraft formats any longer.
Lamar Jackson | BAL (vs PIT)
Lamar Jackson has thrown at least 23 passes without a touchdown toss in three straight games. That’s the first such instance in his remarkable career and the first such instance in the NFL this season. Things just haven’t looked right, and the reason behind it is pretty simple.
He’s not threatening defenses in the same way with his legs (yet to have a 20-yard run, and his 5.1 yards per carry are tracking to be his lowest since his rookie season), and that’s made making plays on third down an uphill battle.
In his nine starts this season, he’s completed just 52.6% of his third-down passes with one score and one pick. Last season, one that had him in the MVP conversation until the very end, he completed 62.2% of his passes in that spot, racking up 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions.
At 6-6, does Jackson feed into the desperation of the moment and do what comes naturally?
I hope so!
He ran nine times for just 22 yards in his last meeting with these Steelers, but that was in a spot where he was having elite success through the air (9.0 YPA with one-fifth of his completions resulting in a touchdown). At my core, I’m an optimist, and that’s the stance I’m taking here: back to basics for Jackson this week and a nice opportunity next weekend to make good on the Bengals matchup that he failed to come through last week.
Marcus Mariota | WAS (at MIN)
If Jayden Daniels (elbow) misses another game, we’ve seen Washington trust Marcus Mariota with volume, and that’s enough to put him on DFS radars as a punt play.
The efficiency concerns are real. He’s thrown a pick in consecutive games and averaged just 5.9 yards per pass last season, but 50 throws and 10 rush attempts have a way of supporting a fantasy asset.
Mariota has multiple TD passes in two of his past three games and has at least 20 rushing yards in every start he’s made this season. We could get a very chaotic day if this is the case, but I was encouraged by what we saw from Terry McLaurin in his return to action.
He’s not an asset for me in season-long formats, but if you want to sell me on him having top 10 mainslate value based on per-dollar production, I’d listen.
Matthew Stafford | LAR (at ARI)
Shake it off and move on.
Matthew Stafford threw an end zone interception early against the Panthers and followed it up with a Pick-6 on the next drive. Yes, that means he had as many picks in the first quarter on Sunday as he had in the first three months of 2025.
Yikes.
He would later add in a lost fumble for good measure.
Take a step back and think about what you’re complaining about. Back in August, we weren’t sure if Stafford was going to play because of the back injury. And now, one bad week after months of dominance (six top-8 finishes), and we are let down?
It’s a blip on the radar. He still got his two short-range TDs to Davante Adams and threw one-third of his passes to Puka Nacua. He’s as reliable a pocket-locked QB as we have in the game and a true MVP front-runner.
None of that has changed, and I expect his video game numbers to return this weekend against a Cardinals defense that has allowed a touchdown on 27.7% of drives over the past month, the sixth-highest rate.
Max Brosmer | MIN (vs WAS)
Growing up, they always tell you that there is someone out there who is bigger than you, faster than you, better than you.
We learned on Sunday in Seattle that the inverse of that statement is also true.
Vikings fans thought they had it bad with JJ McCarthy struggling to adapt to the pro game, and then they watched Max Brosmer for 60 minutes.
It was obviously a brutal spot to step into and that needs to be factored, but fans don’t always act with rationality as their guiding light. Brosmer had as many interceptions as Justin Jefferson had receiving yards, and one was about as bad a decision as you’ll see on the NFL stage.
The other three? He wasn’t pressured on; he just couldn’t read the play the right way at the right speed. This job was always going to be McCarthy’s (concussion) when he was cleared because of the draft capital invested in him, but he gained more in terms of job security over the past week than he has when he has taken the field.
Patrick Mahomes | KC (vs HOU)
Patrick Mahomes was passing touchdowns left and right while you passed the cranberry sauce, and while it wasn’t enough for the Chiefs, his fantasy managers were left fulfilled (261 passing yards with four touchdowns, 30 rushing yards).
It was great to see him lean into his “Big Three” pass catchers with 75% of his targets going to Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, or Travis Kelce. That trio accounted for three of his four scores, and while I like Hollywood Brown targets as much as the next guy, this is the path to Mahomes leading your fantasy team to the promised land.
The rushing numbers continue to elevate his floor, and as the passing production turns around (one score through the air in his three games before Thanksgiving), those chunk gains on the ground project as sustainable.
He’s got a 10+ yard run in six of his past eight, and that level of versatility makes him a lineup lock, even against the terrifying Texans.
Sam Darnold | SEA (at ATL)
We are 13 weeks into this season, and while Sam Darnold has played at a high level for the majority of it, we have more than enough data to say, with confidence, that the Seahawks can win at a high level without needing video game numbers from their QB.
Darnold has been a top 20 QB in just two of his past six games, offers next to nothing on the ground, and is averaging just 27 pass attempts per game. He needs to be ultra-efficient to return marginal value, and that’s not a profile I’m targeting.
He’s a fine play if you’re loaded elsewhere and need a reasonable floor, but Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, and Trevor Lawrence are QBs down a bit in my ranks that I have penciled in with more upside potential this week.
Shedeur Sanders | CLE (vs TEN)
Shedeur Sanders is probably the best quarterback on this Cleveland roster, but that doesn’t mean we need to worry about him.
In his two starts, the Browns have trusted him with just 45 passes (27 completions), and without high-end athleticism, there’s no real path to fantasy production.
That said, he did miss Jerry Jeudy on the first drive last week, a bomb that could have been a 66-yard score, and the Titans allow the fifth most deep completions per game (3.3). Sanders himself doesn’t hold value, but he brings a vertical element to this offense that Dillon Gabriel didn’t and in this matchup, that introduces some significant upside.
Trevor Lawrence | JAX (vs IND)
Trevor Lawrence has seen his passer rating increase in four straight games, and while the fantasy numbers aren’t piling up, his improved play gives me an increased level of confidence in this offense as a whole.
On the second drive last week against the Titans, we saw him rip off two chunk plays thanks to the type of high-end precision that we thought would be the norm for him at this point in his career.
The Tush Push is Philadelphia’s thing, but Jacksonville has gotten creative with playcalling in its own specific way (it helped with the converted two-point conversion last week), and it helps give Lawrence a look at my top 15 this week.

The Colts allow the sixth most red zone trips per game (3.8), and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if this is the highest scoring game of the weekend. If that happens, you’re going to want DFS exposure (a Lawrence stack with Jonathan Taylor on the bring back in a positive game script sounds profitable to me).
These two teams also play during fantasy championship week: watch closely and put yourself in a position to succeed when all the chips are on the table.
Tua Tagovailoa | MIA (at NYJ)
Tua Tagovailoa has just two finishes better than QB17 this season and is the rare option that I don’t trust in any game script.
He has more interceptions than touchdowns during this three-game win streak. In the three blowout losses that Miami has suffered this season, Tagovailoa has one touchdown against six interceptions on 86 attempts.
He’s been held without a touchdown toss in two straight, three of four, and four of six games. If Tagovailoa has a good game, it’s because he supported the values of Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane, not because he offered much in the way of value by himself.
Tyler Shough | NO (at TB)
Tyler Shough isn’t a star, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with what I’ve seen from him this season. No, the counting numbers aren’t crazy, but this system/roster makes that close to impossible.
A completion percentage of 68% in three straight? A total of 40 rushing yards over his past two games?
That’s not nothing. The Saints are allowing him to learn by fire (47 opportunities, pass attempts plus rush attempts, per game in those two contests), and I think that’s earned him the opportunity to have a role next season.
Without high-end counting numbers, Shough needs touchdowns to move into the Superflex conversation. But with the Bucs allowing the second fewest red zone drives per game (2.4, only the Patriots are better, and they are on bye, so this is as tough in that regard as it gets this week), he’s a long shot to get there this weekend.
Tyrod Taylor | NYJ (vs MIA)
The yardage for Tyrod Taylor is almost never going to be there as a function of this offense.
We saw New York score 27 points last weekend against the Falcons, and Taylor ended up with 216 yards of offense when you combine passing and rushing.
I’m not taking anything away from what he did during Sunday’s win. But if that’s his environment’s ceiling (how often do you think the Jets score more than 27 points for the rest of this season?), there’s not really much of a case to be made for him as a fantasy asset in standard-sized, one-QB formats.
The 52-yard bomb to Adonai Mitchell was good to see, even with the defender falling to the ground while tracking it, and the 10-yard touchdown was an impressive read.
But my point remains. In a week where everything went right, he was 2.04 points better than QB11. The Dolphins own the fifth-best red zone defense, and it’s not hard to imagine both of these offenses operating with caution, something that has the potential to limit the possession count.
Don’t chase the QB6 finish from last week, I beg of you.
