Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Start in all 2-QB leagues, as well as deep 1-QB leagues

Owned in 23% of leagues on Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: I know. You might all be saying, “But Nathan, Fitzy hasn’t thrown for over 300 yards once this year! And he has seven interceptions on the year! How can I trust him?”

Simply put, you can’t. I do think, however, that it would be impossible to ignore his weapons and his matchup. With one of the NFL’s stronger wide receiver duos in Andre Johnson and Deandre Hopkins at his disposal, he has guys to catch footballs. Both Hopkins and Johnson are elite receivers, and they may finally have the opportunity to look like it against an Eagles defense that has given up on average 278.17 yards, 2.17 TDs, and the eighth most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs. This is a guy I just can’t look past this week, regardless of his track record on the season.
