Biggest Under-performers at QB

Drew Brees-New Orleans Saints: Brees’s numbers weren’t horrible, but he only managed one touchdown and 281 yards while throwing two interceptions. It wasn’t a total dud, but he was outscored by Chad Henne, Geno Smith, and Tony Romo.

Cam Newton-Carolina Panthers: Although the Panthers won late over the Saints, Newton’s numbers weren’t great as he finised with 181 yards and a touchdown along with an interception. He was only able to add six yards on four rushes letting down his fantasy owners even though Panther fans are thrilled with the W over their division rival.

Matthew Stafford-Detroit Lions: Stafford threw only one touchdown on Sunday and it was for the Giants as the Lions went down in overtime to New York. He finished with 222 yards and two interceptions while completing just 25 of his 42 attempts.

Russell Wilson-Seattle Seahawks: Wilson suffered his first home loss connecting on only 11 of his 27 pass attempts for just over 100 yards. He did add 32 yards rushing, and his one passing TD kept his owners from an ever worse day, but overall it was a disappointing day for Wilson and the Seahawks.

Alex Smith-Kansas City Chiefs: Smith struggled to just 153 yards on 16/29 passing. He failed to throw a TD and threw a pair of picks. The only way he contributed much for fantasy owners was his 47 yards rushing.

Ryan Tannehill-Miami Dolphins: After a huge week last week against the Patriots, Tannehill managed only 82 yards and no TDs against Buffalo.
