Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes and snuck in at the goal-line for another during the Buffalo Bills' win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He was otherwise quiet in the box score, however, going just 9-for-17 passing for 112 yards and an interception, with 18 yards rushing.
Ryan Fitzpatrick scores 3 total TDs in otherwise quiet fantasy night
Ryan Fitzpatrick passed for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Bills over the Jaguars on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fitzpatrick’s rushing score was his first of the season and fourth of his career. He now has 21 total touchdowns on the season.
Fantasy Impact: Fitzpatrick’s rushing touchdown was a nice bonus for fantasy owners, especially considering he doesn’t have a history of getting goal-line carries in his seven-year career. He was pretty lucky to find the end zone passing too, considering the effective running game and the sloppy weather.
With three of the Bills’ final four games of the season taking place at Ralph Wilson Stadium, weather will be an important factor to keep an eye on for Fitzpatrick owners going forward. He isn’t worth starting consideration in standard formats, but he could be viable in two-quarterback leagues if conditions are right.
