Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: The case for Fitzpatrick is very similar to that of Tyrod Taylor, Mitchell Trubisky, or Derek Carr. The obvious path for all of these quarterbacks is to end on the bench down the road in favor of their start-of-the-season backups (Justin Herbert, Nick Foles, and […]
