Ryan Fitzpatrick gets limited work in preseason opener

by Mark Leipold | Fri, Aug 9th 6:58am EDT

Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 2-of-5 pass attempts for 20 yards and rushed twice for seven yards in the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Fitzpatrick is the presumed Week 1 starter at this point, so it's no surprise that he didn't play much. It seems unlikely that FitzMagic plays all 16 games, especially after the Dolphins are eliminated from the playoffs (an all-but-certainty). Fitzpatrick has much less upside on the Dolphins' offense than he did on the Buccaneers' offense, so he shouldn't be drafted except in Superflex/2QB league formats, and only then as a third option.
