7 Quarterbacks With Easy Early-Season Matchups
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Houston Texans
Opponent | 2013 Defensive Rank | 2013 Pass Defense Rank | |
---|---|---|---|
Week 1 | Redskins | 18 | 19 |
Week 2 | Raiders | 28 | 29 |
Ryan Fitzpatrick had a terrible preseason debut for the Texans, and as our 28th-ranked quarterback, Fitzpatrick isn't being drafted in most standard leagues. But there's hope. Fitzpatrick and the Texans have the third-easiest schedule, getting to face the Jaguars, Titans and Colts defenses all twice. And Fitzpatrick gets an easy start to the season facing off against the Redskins and the Raiders. With an easy start, Fitzpatrick could be great value, and you won't even have to draft him.
