BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues
ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: I've been telling you for a while now: without Jameis Winston in the active roster of starting quarterbacks, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the closest thing we have to a boom-or-bust player at the position. Is that great? No. Is it bad? Neither. In fact, and strictly for fantasy football purposes, this type of quarterback is a very nice play to feature on your roster weekly. Just look at Fitzmagic's numbers and you'll give me props for giving you that tip.
Other than his W1 dud (7.4 FP against New England), Fitzpatrick has been as good and steady as anyone. In his last three games, he's put up 24.3, 21.2, and 23.3 FP respectively. While Fitz only threw for 160 yards in W3, he compensated that with 2 touchdown passes. In weeks 2 and 4 he went for 2 and zero TDs, but he he reached 315+ yards in each of those games completing more than 64% of his attempts. Not only is Fitz good at tossing the ball, but he's also stepped up his rushing game lately: he ran with the rock for 38 yards and a TD in W3, and improved on that with 47 yards and another score this past weekend.
Truth be told, Miami is going to face the toughest defense against QBs they'll have played in the first five weeks (San Francisco, 7th-fewest fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks). Even with that, though, you know how Fitzpatrick works. Sure, he might throw two or three picks, as he's done in two games already, but he's also going to throw a ton of passes for a lot of yards and most probably end with at least a couple of touchdowns passing/rushing. If you're streaming the position in any-depth league, consider him a good starter. If you play in 2QB leagues, make him a start no matter what.
