Tyrod Taylor, QB, Cleveland Browns

Price: $6,600

If you're looking to get really cheap at quarterback this week, that's an option, too. Tyrod Taylor is cheaper than 20 other quarterbacks on the main slate, despite taking on a New Orleans Saints team that just got carved up to the tune of 42.3 fantasy points by Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Saints' defense had actually shown some improvements in 2017, and any performance that horrendous has to give some weight to variance, but this game's 50-point over/under is still Week 2's second-highest mark.

Taylor finished as the QB6 under FanDuel scoring last week, turning in 24.6 fantasy points. Granted, he was pretty terrible as a passer, going 15-of-40 for 197 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception, but his legs give him huge fantasy upside. He ran the ball 8 times in that game, tallying 77 yards and 1 touchdown -- accounting for over half of his fantasy points.

Based on what we saw from New Orleans last week, we should see a bounce-back in passing efficiency from Taylor here, and with the value his rushing stats add (he tallied at least five fantasy points on the ground in five games last season), both his floor and ceiling are appealing at this price-point.
