QB Sleepers

Tyrod Taylor-Buffalo Bills:Ā Taylor and the Bills continue to impress on offense getting a big road win this week hanging 41 points on the Dolphins. Ā Taylor threw for 277 yards on 21-of-29 passing as well as three passing touchdowns. Ā He didn’t add much on the ground this week rushing just there times for 12 yards.

Derek Carr-Oakland Raiders:Ā I know I’m going to regret it, but I am starting to really like the Raiders offense. Carr let the Raiders to a big road win in Cleveland throwing for 314 yards and a pair of touchdowns. When he’s been healthy, he’s put up good numbers and the Raiders have been surprisingly effective on offense.

Josh McCown-Cleveland Browns:Ā On the other side of that same game, McCown threw for 341 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but he also threw an interception. Ā Since the Browns were behind early, he was forced to throw the ball 49 times, and despite the turnover, his final line was pretty solid.

Marcus Mariota-Tennessee Titans:Ā Mariota outplayed Andrew Luck, but the Titans came up a two-point conversion short of pulling the upset. Ā Like Luck, Mariota struggled with turnovers throwing a pair of picks, but he had a solid final line with 367 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
