The quarterback is having an excellent first season as a starter for the Washington Commanders. In eight games so far, he has amassed at least 200 yards six times. He has already thrown 13 touchdown passes, which ranks him sixth in the NFL in this regard, tied with Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts.

The Denver Broncos quarterback will be off this week, but available for the remainder of the Fantasy season. He’s not the most consistent, but he represents an interesting option. Plus, Wilson just defeated the mighty Kansas City Chiefs. This could give him a huge dose of confidence.

In his first season behind center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the first overall pick in the 2018 draft delivered five respectable performances in seven outings. Mayfield has already had his bye week, which is no small thing.

Not the most attractive choice, but the New Orleans Saints quarterback is consistent without being spectacular. However, he relies on excellent teammates who can transform a small five-yard pass on the flank into very long gains.
