BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Week 12 Streamer
ANALYSIS: At the beginning of the year, I had high expectations for the former backup to Jay Cutler. He had all the weapons, the starting contract, and the offensive prowess. It was as though the stars had aligned for McCown, and I had him very high on my fantasy football radar. McCown went on to break my little heart after he struggled through the first two games, and ended up leaving his third game with a thumb injury that would land him on the bench until Week Ten.
Now, McCown has stormed back onto the scene, and just in the nick of time. The once again fantasy relevant McCown has thrown for 589 yards in the past two weeks, and has also put up four touchdowns over the same period. Facing his former team in the Chicago Bears this week, look for McCown to have a hayday. The Bears are ranked dead last in yards handed to opposing QBs, as well as fantasy points by opposing quarterbacks this season, and I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon. His return to the field has been better than I anticipated it to be, and with another porous secondary to play against this week, Josh McCown has leapt to the center of my attention. Look to start this guy in all leagues this week if you need a streamer.
