Houston Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick hasn't set the world on fire in his first season with the Texans. On the season, he has just five passing touchdowns (one rushing), six interceptions, 1,056 passing yards and a passer rating of 82.3. The only stat ranking in the top 15 is his interceptions, which is tied for the worst in the NFL with Drew Brees.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Ryan Fitzpatrick
Ryan Fitzpatrick has seen his Houston offense turn it around. Should you start him against a weak defense?

This week, he should get a better chance to perform against the Indianapolis Colts. While they have been 12th-toughest matchup to date, they haven't exactly gone against tough competition lately. In the last three games, they've only faced Joe Flacco, Charlie Whitehurst and Blake Bortles/Chad Henne.
Fantasy impact: This isn’t really a start/sit for those in standard leagues because Fitzpatrick has been awful and he hasn’t gained chemistry with any of his receivers. Fantasy owners should consider him as a QB20-24 and shouldn’t be too excited about his upside, or lack thereof.
