As we enter the one-third mark of the NFL season (and pretty much the halfway mark for the Fantasy Football regular season), we can start to dump the dead weight on our roster and work toward using players that are finally fulfilling potential.
As young players start to figure things out, they stop thinking and start reacting, allowing their athleticism and speed to become more of an advantage.
The quarterback position doesn’t have a ton of young players making waves, but after rookie Derek Carr put up four touchdowns against San Diego, we might start seeing more youngsters in the top 20. For now, among the top 20 Fantasy quarterbacks, there are no players in their second year.
Tracking QBs Since Week 4
A lot of times, we look at the stats from a season-long perspective, which is faulty for several reasons, but especially because it doesn’t give you a great view of how a player has done recently.
Philip Rivers sits behind just Andrew Luck in total Fantasy points among QBs since Week 4.
Cam Newton, Tony Romo and Joe Flacco – considered QB2s entering the season — rank fifth, sixth and seventh respectively in fantasy points over the past three weeks.
While Nick Foles has seven touchdowns in the past three weeks, he also has five interceptions, which is second only to Kirk Cousins and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
