      Overview

    • A good quarterback can mean the world of difference in such a pass heavy league.
    • Experts don't even rank him among QB's. Either he is on a bye week or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 23rd with 149.74 total points (18.72 avg).
    • Currently 307.06 points behind the leader: Josh Allen
    • He has missed playing in at least 2 games but is not listed on the injury report as of today. Check out his player news to see if he has any nagging injuries.
    • Average points in the past two weeks have dipped quite a bit at 18.7.
    • QB Stats

    • Top 25 in pass yards with 2331 (291.38 per game) and is currently ranked 24th among QB.
    • Top 20 in pass tds with 18 (2.25 per game) and is currently ranked 19th among QB.

    • Known to throw for big gains. If your league has bonus points for long TDs then this guy would be great to have.
    • The amount of touchdowns per game is ridiculous. Can he keep it up?
    • Season Outlook
