Fantasy Football Player Notes

The bearded one can still sling the rock. Last season, Ryan Fitzpatrick averaged 8.3 yards per attempt and got the Dolphins off to a solid start before being replaced by the "QB of the Future," Tua Tagovailoa. Despite a forgettable Week 1 performance, Fitzpatrick turned in 5 straight 21+ point performances before getting the hook in a blowout against the Jets in Week 6. You can't blame the Dolphins, but the move may have indeed cost them the playoffs in 2020. Now, Fitzmagic gets another opportunity to play in his first playoff game, but for the Washington Football Team. He inherits a pretty solid complement of weapons across the board and some great matchups against some soft NFC East defenses. Fitz will be an excellent streaming QB in 2021 and a decent Superflex starter most weeks. Officially, Washington says he's "competing" for the starting job, but it's his. Despite imperfections, Washington had upgraded year over year from a genuinely awful quarterback carousel in 2020.
