3. Terrelle Pryor-QB-Oakland Raiders (1.3%)

Last week, I had Pryor as the number one pickup and he had a solid week finishing as the seventh best QB from Sunday. He 221 yards and a pair of scores while adding 31 yards on the ground. Most of those yards came in a hot start against the Chargers struggling secondary, but it was still a solid performance from Pryor who led Oakland to a big win.

Pryor isn’t a weekly QB1, but if you need a backup or fill-in option, I think he’s a pretty solid QB2 who can also contribute by running the ball making him even more valuable. The Raiders backfield continues to deal with a myriad of injuries, so expect Pryor to continue to shoulder the load going forward.

If you lost Michael Vick or use Matt Ryan or Ryan Tannehill as your starter, Pryor is the top quarterback option among those who are widely available. He’s firmly ensconced as the Raiders starter and will look to keep his momentum going next week as the Raiders face a tough matchup against Kansas City.
