Yahoo Ownership: 22%
Apparently Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to win the MVP in 2018. He's blowtorching the NFL right now, completing 48 of 61 passes for 819 yards, 8 touchdowns and a whopping 72.26 fantasy points through two games.
When will it stop?
I have no clue. While it could come crashing down at any moment, we should feel fairly safe buying in for at least one more week of this magical ride.
Maybe the most incredible thing about Fitzpatrick's first two weeks is that he has done it against pretty good defenses -- the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 and Philadelphia Eagles last week. Now he gets a home date with a Pittsburgh Steelers D that just gave up 326 passing yards and 6 scores to Patrick Mahomes.
Our models rank Fitzpatrick as the QB8 for the week, projecting him for 19.86 fantasy points. He is the cream of the crop for streamers in Week 3, which is kind of a rough week -- on paper -- to stream the position.
