QUARTERBACK

Matt Ryan ($8500) Falcons vs. Saints – By nearly all accounts, Ryan had a “bad” year in 2015 throwing only 21 TD’s to go along with 16 interceptions. His bad season also included 4591 yards passing. 2016 couldn’t have started out a whole lot better for Ryan as he is averaging 365 yards per game to go along with 5 touchdown passes. Of course he has faced two of the worst defenses in football the first two weeks. Oakland is dead last against the pass but New Orleans currently sits 30th. Ryan gets yet another wonderful matchup Monday night in what Vegas thinks will be the highest scoring game of the week. Fire up Ryan with confidence.

Carson Palmer ($8200) Cardinals @ Bills – Speaking of teams bad against the pass, the Bills got lit up last week by the dangerous passing attack of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Eric Decker. Don’t get me wrong, that tandem is solid but certainly not elite. Palmer continues to get it done week in and week out yet continues to be priced $1,000 lower than the top QB option this week (Cam Newton against a solid Minnesota D). Pamer has had back to back great games and Larry Fitzgerald looks rejuvenated. Play Palmer again with confidence against a below average defense.

Ryan Tannehill ($7400) Dolphins vs. Browns – Poor Cleveland… At least they won an NBA Championship this year. The Browns are bad and things are about to really get ugly offensively as they are now on their third QB this week. Their defense is terrible too and Tannehill comes in as one of the better value QB’s of the week priced at only $7400. Tannehill is coming off a great week 2 where he piled up nearly 400 yards through the air. The Dolphins also lost RB Arian Foster and are setting up to be air heavy against a weak secondary. Of course Miami could go up 4 scores in the first half and take the air out of the ball in the third and fourth quarter. If that happens, you can bet that Tannehill will have got his 20+ Fantasy points by then.

Others I Like – Andrew Luck ($8700), Blake Bortles ($7900)
