Ron Rivera Wants Competition For Starting QB Job
3 years agoIn his media availability at the Washington Football Team's training camp, head coach Ron Rivera made it known he wants there to be competition for the starting quarterback job when he was asked if Ryan Fitzpatrick would get all the first-team repetitions. Fitzpatrick and quarterback Taylor Heinicke will battle it out in training camp. Heinicke made a good impression in the 2020 playoffs against the eventual Super Bowl Champions, however, it still seems that it's Fitzpatrick's job to lose. Two viable options at the quarterback position is something that Washington did not have last season, so the eventual starter will have to earn the job this year. Fitzpatrick will be a QB2 in fantasy and can be an appealing weekly streaming option.
