BUY:
QB Carson Palmer ARI
Palmer is fifth among fantasy QBs. He’s benefitted from a really good defense and hasn’t had to throw much, but he also has a ton weapons in the passing game that he can utilize. The NFC West is not as good as it’s been in years past and he still gets to play all of the AFC North teams which most are rebuilding on defense.
QB Tyrod Taylor BUF
He is now up to fourth in points scored for QBs ahead of guys like Newton and Wilson. What he has in common with those guys is being able to run the ball. QBs that can rack up a few TDs every week and add 40 yards or so on the ground should get you about 18 points a week. He may miss a couple weeks with a knee injury but is still a must own.
QB Blake Bortles JAC
Another name that you probably didn’t think you would see on this list. Bortles has actually put together a really good year. He’s now got some weapons around him and Hurns and Robinson have put together pretty good years so far. He has ten touchdowns to four interceptions and plays in the terrible AFC South. He also shouldn’t have the same price tag as some of the more well-known names. He could even start over your top QB if the matchup is right.
QB Cam Newton CAR
He dropped in a lot of people’s rankings this year with all the injuries around him on offense. So far he has led Carolina to an undefeated season. Like Taylor, he can run the ball. He is second on the team in runs by a wide margin and the only one with a rushing TD. If some of the young guys on that team can come around in the second half, Newton can become even more appealing.
RB Joseph Randle DAL
He was another question mark heading into the regular season. Nobody knew who in Dallas would be the lead back. With Dunbar out for the season, it is down to Randle and McFadden although Michael can work his way into the rotation too. For now, Randle is going to be the main guy and with Romo still out Dallas has to lean on the run game.
