ANALYSIS: This dude is absolutely balling out and it's being overshadowed by how many sacks he's taken, but we need to appreciate how well he's played. He's thrown for at least 249 yards in five out of eight games. He's scored more than two touchdowns – via passing or rushing – in six out of eight games. He's scored 15 or more fantasy points in six out of eight games. He's scored 18 or more in five out of eight. He's scored 21 or more three times. He's finished as a top-12 quarterback in four games and has two other finishes where he's finished inside the top-15. He's been phenomenal. Once Week 8 officially closes its books, Howell will be a top-12 quarterback in PPG. He can be considered a weekly starter.
