Quinn Ewers Week 17 Outlook - Buccaneers at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 27th 2025, 9:35am EST

Last week, Quinn Ewers was the QB26 in fantasy, but he played better than I expected he would. Yes, I know he had zero passing touchdowns and two picks, but his per-dropback numbers were surprisingly good. Last week, among 27 qualifying quarterbacks, Ewers ranked sixth in yards per attempt and highly accurate throw rate, 14th in aDOT, and sixth in catchable target rate. He could surprisingly flirt with QB1 numbers this week if he can withstand the Buc's blitz, but their pass rush hasn't been getting home (since Week 12 they have the 11th-lowest pressure rate) so Ewers should have time in the pocket. Since Week 12, the Bucs have allowed the sixth-most passing yards per game, the eighth-highest yards per attempt, and the third-highest CPOE.
