BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Bye Week Fill-In
OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Staying on the trend of bye-week replacements, Tom Brady and Marcus Mariota owners are going to need a contingency plan this week. Why not give the Harvard Grad a shot? Fitzpatrick has now thrown at least two touchdowns in each game and attempted a whopping 58 passes on Sunday versus the Eagles in a 24-17 loss.
Fitzpatrick gets a "road" outing versus Miami in London in week 4. Tyrod Taylor, a favorite of this section until he eclipsed 25% ownership, just gashed the Dolphins on 21-for-27 passing and 277 yards with three touchdowns. It would've been worse if the Bills didn't have the game in hand, allowing Taylor to put on a baseball cap for the fourth quarter.
The Jets Chris Ivory may not be 100% for the game, forcing Fitzpatrick to air it out again for a second straight week. It's not the ideal play for fantasy owners, but it's better than snagging Mike Vick. For the record, if Tyrod Taylor (43%) or Derek Carr (35%) are sitting in FA, they'd be my first choices for QBs.
