Fitzpatrick completed 22-of-37 passes for 277 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's game. He added 21 rushing yards on four carries. Fitzpatrick connected for touchdowns to wide receivers Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Devin Smith, with Marshall catching two.
Fantasy impact: Take out the Week 8 game where he was injured early and barely played, and Fitzpatrick has put up at least 13 fantasy points in every game this season. He had only gone for more than 19 points in a game once on the season before Sunday, but still, Fitzpatrick offers a high floor, which is something not every quarterback can say.
It's tempting to say Fitzpatrick's huge game Sunday is as much blame for Miami as it is credit for Fitzpatrick, as the Dolphins' defense has seemed to give up in recent weeks. That said, the Jets play the Giants in Week 13, and it's not exactly like that's a stout defense, either. Add in games after that against Tennessee and Dallas, and Fitzpatrick will be in the streaming quarterback conversation for the next several weeks.
