Ryan Heath’s QB Rankings
- You may think the QB position is rough this week given the four teams on bye and tough matchups for players like Derek Carr and Kirk Cousins. My response is to smile and tell you that our savior Marcus Mariota is implied the 3rd-most points of any quarterback as a 3-point favorite at home against a Chicago defense allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks over the last month. Why would you not play the the QB12 overall through 10 weeks in a spot like this?
- Similarly, Daniel Jones has had at least five rushing attempts in every game he’s played this season, and gets the best matchup in the league for opposing quarterbacks in the Detroit Lions. This game has a lower over/under, but the Giants are 3-point home favorites just like the Falcons.
- If for some reason you don’t want to play a high-performing quarterback like Mariota, Jones, or Jimmy Garoppolo, you could always roll the dice on Russell Wilson, who ranks second in the league in attempted air yards per game and gets the Raiders, who have allowed the second-most points to quarterbacks this season.
