Fantasy Football Quarterback Streamers & Waiver Wire Pickups
All the quarterbacks in this article are rostered in under 50% of ESPN leagues.
Sam Darnold (SEA) vs. Tennessee Titans (47.9% Rostered)
Rarely can you have four turnovers as a quarterback and still have a chance to win an NFL game. However, that happened in Week 11, as Darnold had four interceptions against the Los Angeles Rams. Yet, the Seahawks had a chance to win the game with a field goal. Unfortunately, the veteran has been awful over the past two weeks, totaling one passing touchdown, five interceptions, two lost fumbles, and 9.2 fantasy points, scoring 4.9 or less in both outings against two of the better pass defenses in the league.
Thankfully, Darnold should have a bounce-back performance against a struggling Titans defense. Last week, they gave up 274 passing yards, one touchdown, and 16.4 fantasy points to Davis Mills. Tennessee has surrendered 257.5 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 22.7 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over their past four contests, allowing two or more touchdowns in all but one outing. Darnold averaged 294.8 passing yards, 2.8 touchdowns, and 20.9 fantasy points per game over his previous four contests before the back-to-back poor outings. Expect him to bounce back this week.
Jacoby Brissett (ARI) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (23.6% Rostered)
Fantasy players in deeper leagues who need quarterback help should make Brissett their top target off the waiver wire this week. The veteran was outstanding last week against the San Francisco 49ers despite missing Marvin Harrison Jr., completing 82.5% of his pass attempts for 452 yards, two touchdowns, and 21.9 fantasy points. Furthermore, he set an NFL record with 47 pass completions. More importantly, Brissett has been the QB8 on a fantasy points-per-game basis from Week 6 through Week 10, averaging two passing touchdowns and 21.4 fantasy points per contest.
Furthermore, he posted a higher average than Jalen Hurts (20.8) and Dak Prescott (17.7) during that stretch, scoring at least 19.4 fantasy points in every game. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers struggled to get their offense in gear against the Jaguars last week. However, Jacksonville had surrendered 274.2 passing yards, 2.8 touchdowns, and 25.6 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over their previous five matchups, allowing four or more touchdowns in two of the final three outings. Brissett should easily have over 19 fantasy points for the sixth consecutive game.
Bryce Young (CAR) vs. San Francisco 49ers (7.5% Rostered)
Young hasn’t been a reliable fantasy starting option, averaging only 12.9 fantasy points per game this season. However, he has been outstanding when totaling more than 35 pass attempts in a game. Young has averaged 388 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 26.6 fantasy points per game in the two contests with over 35 pass attempts, including last week. He had a franchise record 448 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 31.8 fantasy points in the win over the Atlanta Falcons. More importantly, Young has top-10 upside in Week 12.
The former Alabama star faces a 49ers defense that has been decimated by injuries. San Francisco has surrendered 303.9 passing yards, 2.3 touchdowns, and 22.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the past seven weeks, allowing at least two touchdowns and 19.6 fantasy points in all but one contest. Last week, Jacoby Brissett completed an NFL record 47 pass completions for 452 yards, two touchdowns, and 21.9 fantasy points against the division rivals, despite having Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch as his only meaningful options at wide receiver.
Tyler Shough (NO) vs. Atlanta Falcons (1.2% Rostered)
New Orleans had their bye in Week 11, giving Shough two weeks to prepare for his third career start on Sunday against the Falcons. He played well in his last start, completing 70.4% of his pass attempts for 282 yards, two touchdowns, zero turnovers, and 19 fantasy points against the Carolina Panthers despite the Saints trading away two starters at the deadline five days earlier, including Rashid Shaheed. By comparison, Spencer Rattler had only one performance with more than 13.9 fantasy points in eight games as the starter this season.
More importantly, the rookie has an underrated matchup this week against a struggling Atlanta defense. After a strong start to the year, the Falcons have surrendered 291.8 passing yards, 2.5 touchdowns, and 22 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the past month, allowing at least two touchdowns in all but one contest. Furthermore, Atlanta gave up over 30 fantasy points to quarterbacks twice in their past four games. Last week, Bryce Young had no problem against the division rivals, totaling 448 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 31.8 fantasy points.
