3 undervalued Fantasy Football quarterbacks to draft
By Jakob Ashlin
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Washington Football Team
Ryan Fitzpatrick has been a surprisingly valuable fantasy contributor across the past two seasons. Last season, Fitzpatrick started the first six games for the Miami Dolphins before being benched for Tua Tagovailoa. From Week 1 to Week 6, he was the eighth-highest scoring fantasy quarterback.
His 2019 run was even more impressive. From Weeks 6-17, he was second among quarterbacks in fantasy points. Fitzpatrick put up those statistics with a thin offensive depth chart in Miami. DeVante Parker was Fitzpatrick’s lone reliable target, and the Dolphins had a historically bad running game. Fitzpatrick actually finished the season as the team’s leading rusher with only 243 rushing yards.
In Washington, Fitzpatrick may be in his best position to succeed, yet. He will play with a talented pair of wide receivers in Terry McLaurin and free agent addition Curtis Samuel and an emerging tight end in Logan Thomas. In addition, running back Antonio Gibson was impressive as a rookie last season.
Fitzpatrick is a reliable QB2 with under-the-radar upside. Currently, his ADP ranks 26th among quarterbacks.
