QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, WAS (1 Viewer)

I have him in over Luck. Part of me thinks it's the ultimate "getting cute" move, and I don't expect this to last all season, but I'm hoping he can stay hot until Luck is all the way back from his injury.

 
Starting him over JimmyG, just wish it wasn't Monday night. I'd hate for Garoppolo to have a huge game in a shootout in KC and have to sweat Fitz's output for 36 hours. Just one more big game Fitz!

 
Fitzpatrick threw for 31 TDs and almost 4000yds on a pretty limited Jets team in 2015. I don't see any reason why he can't obliterate those numbers in this offense with these weapons around him (assuming Winston doesn't reclaim the job).  

He has never come close to playing on a team this talented.

Picked him up in 2/3 leagues (the winning bidder in the 3rd was $200 FFPC).

Starting Fitz over Rivers and Cousins this week, Choo Choo....

 
Former season ticket holder.  Can't stand Winston and hadn't been to a game since '16.  So excited to go Monday night!

That wasn't a pretty limited Jets team. He had Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Quincy Enunwa and Jeremy Kerley at WR and Bilal Powell and Chris Ivory in the backfield. They did not have a good TE but were stacked at WR and it was Marshall and Decker often bailing him out on 50/50 balls with their size and strength.

BOO!! Get outta here with your level-headed analysis and historical accuracy, optimists only in here!

Well, I will say that he's playing with an overall from top to bottom even better/more diverse supporting cast now.

I think most believe it won't last much longer. I mean even Monday night, it's all set up just a little too nicely and when has the expected ever happened in an NFL game? I think he comes back to earth this week though i'm hoping not, it's a nice story.

I like the piece that FBG did comparinf him to Watson last year. Everyone kept expecting him to come back to earth and he killed it all the way to his injury. Only have him in one league, with Goff and Winston, and gonna ride him till it ends. 

 
Went with Rodgers last week over Fitz, and got burned....Lost by 5

Dare I possibly sit Rodgers this week....I'm gonna do it and cross my fingers !

 
I’ll say what no one is saying, Fitzpatrick will soon turn back into a pumpkin, it’s just who he is, a lucky streak, that’s all. Oh and all who drafted D.Watson early this year looking for what he did before he got injured, I’m sure are regretting it.

Two of the INT's weren't on him IMO.  The pick 6 was.  

Almost led them back from a huge deficit.  

I think he's ok at the moment.

 
Ryan Fitzpatrick - QB -  Buccaneers

Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 30-of-50 passes for 411 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in the Bucs' Week 3 loss to the Steelers.

Fitzpatrick became the first quarterback in league history to pass for 400 yards in three consecutive games. The night started slow for Fitzpatrick and the Bucs' offense, who went into the half trailing 30-10. Tampa Bay rallied and scored the final 17 points of the evening, though, falling just one Ben Roethlisberger scramble-and-heave to Juju Smith-Schuster away from getting the ball back and potentially pulling off the comeback win. Fitzpatrick has been absurd through three games, totaling 1,230 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and four picks. With Jameis Winston set to return, only time will tell whether the record book's newest member will have a starting gig in Week 4.

Plus Godwin dropped two catchable balls in the end zone on drives where they settled for FGs

 
Hopefully they keep starting him and if so you gotta keep riding him. Hes been otherwordly. Even a "bad" game he puts up 30+ points. Im sitting watson and cam for him . If i was sure fitz keeping job i would trade one.

I'm going to agree after seeing the replays. His recievers stopped on the routes.

 
Has a Blake Bortles circa 2015 feel to him this year. Slinging it, dug a big hole on MNF, almost climbed out of it.

I think we all expect him to implode (maybe in Nov & Dec? because he almost always does (sans the Jets miracle year), but gonna ride him over Wentz until he does.

Good thing he threw that pick 6, right?

Yous said wait until he isnt playing with a lead...

well, he was the #4 scoring QB of week 3 playing from behind. I know you dont like to admit when you're wrong (see Booker), so I'll do it for you, you were dead wrong on him

Ahem.

 
Ian Rapoport‏ @RapSheet 13m13 minutes ago

#Bucs have a 3-day roster exemption for QB Jameis Winston, who is on the Commissioner’s Exempt list. They don’t have to make a roster move until Friday. Don’t expect a QB announcement soon based on competitive reasons. But all signs have pointed to Ryan Fitzpatrick continuing on.

 
If Fitzpatrick has the locker room (which I am assuming he does) he is the starter if they continue to obviously have success. Full on QB controversy in Tampa Bay.

 
Ryan Fitzpatrick - QB -  Buccaneers

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports "all signs point" to Ryan Fitzpatrick starting Week 4 against Chicago.

This has been expected for awhile. With Tampa coming off a short week, Fitzpatrick is in line to make at least another start. It's his job to lose after three straight 400-plus yard games. The Bucs plan to use their roster exemption on Jameis Winston, so there might not be anything official until later in the week.

Five NFL QBs have had consecutive games of 400 yards passing, & everyone knows by now Fitzmagic is the first to reach 3 games.

The NFL season record is 4, held by Dan Marino.

Presumably his leash is still the pretty short. But with the 3 WRs / 2 TEs all seeing targets, seems like he’s a better fit than Winston.

 
So let's suppose Fitz continues but gets himself into a mess or gets hurt in Chicago this week and the Bucs turn to Winston. Given the weapons at his disposal, is it reasonable to assume he steps in and throws in similar fashion i.e. a straight replacement fantasy-wise?

Fantasy wise any QB is gold with these receivers. Turning the ball over like Winston does, 59 in 45 games, only helps because you then have to score more. Fitz probably doesn't put those numbers up himself last week without the 3 turnovers.

DRessing like McGregor for the press conference, he has to be the man in the locker man.

 
Winston will be the QB after the bye.

Winston is the franchise QB a number 1 pick and they picked up 5th year option for 21 million knowing he'd be gone for 3 games

Fitz is a journeyman QB who has never been consistent enough to be a long term starter. We saw that last game for a while

 
Won me my game last week (started over Luck).  If he wins me my game this week I’m ordering his jersey 

 
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Ryan Fitzpatrick received a majority of the reps at Wednesday's practice.

Though the Bucs haven't made an official decision yet, all signs point to Fitzpatrick keeping his job for at least another week. It makes sense with Fitzpatrick off to the best start of his career and Jameis Winston coming off a three-week absence. The Bucs also have their bye coming up in Week 5, which would give Winston another week to get up to speed. FitzMagic's Week 4 matchup against Chicago poses a difficult challenge, though we said the same when the 35-year-old went up against the Saints and Eagles earlier this year and look how that turned out.

I like Fitz.  Smart QB.  He has weaknesses, but could take the right team to a Superbowl. 

Unfortunately, IMO, Tampa isn't that team this year.

Fitz is a very competent QB.  But he has to outsmart defenses.  He cant beat team on the strength of his arm. So, in spots, he can put up big numbers.  Especially with his receiver corps.
