Ryan Fitzpatrick-QB-New York Jets

It was an epically horrible week for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Just one week after being the seventh-best scoring QB he totally fell apart against the Chiefs. Last week, he threw for 387 yards and two touchdowns. This week, he threw six–SIX–six interceptions that is against the Chiefs.

Fitzpatrick threw the ball 44 times completing 20 to his receivers and six to the Chiefs. No Jets scored touchdowns when Fitz threw them the ball, but the Chiefs did take one of his passes back for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

In his no-good, horrible, very-bad week, Fitzpatrick did “earn” a record.

He ended up with -3 fantasy points based on ESPN standard scoring and could have been even worse depending on how much your league penalizes turnovers. The only bright spot for any fantasy owners who started Fitzpatrick is that congratulations–you outscored your starting QB this week. The only reason Fitzpatrick isn’t on the top of our fantasy football busts list is that he did come into the week with pretty low expectations, which isn’t true of the remaining three names on our list.
