  12. Ryan Fitzpatrick, MIA (at NYJ)
  13. Matt Ryan, ATL (vs. LV) - As long as Julio Jones (hamstring) is active in a great matchup against the Raiders, I’d start Ryan (otherwise he’s a sit).

  22. Carson Wentz, PHI (vs. SEA) - Wentz has seen his numbers tank in recent weeks, as he’s failed to score 15 fantasy points in a game since Week 7.
