St. Louis Rams receiver Brian Quick made his return to the field on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. It was one to forget because he wasn't targeted in dress rehearsal for Week 3 and played just nine snaps, but he was just cleared for contact on Aug. 24
Fantasy football sleepers 2015: Brian Quick remains underrated option
Quick was back on the field last weekend. Fantasy owners should be paying a little more attention to him.

Quick needed shoulder surgery on Nov. 10 and missed offseason training because of it. Due to how he’s been out of the spotlight, Quick remains a bit of a forgotten man in fantasy football.
He's projected as the starting receiver across Kenny Britt, who has dealt with some major consistency and injury issues. Quick was a fast starter last season, but he did fizzle out even before his season went on. Can you blame him, though? He had Austin Davis as a quarterback for most of his reps and the Rams struggled getting the ball down the field through the air. This year he'll have Nick Foles under center. While Foles certainly isn't the most capable starting quarterback in the league, he's an improvement and he also tends to key-in on his WR1.
Yes, the Rams are not the Colts, but you can’t discredit Quick as a late-round pick. He has an ADP of 112 and is currently WR43 (per FantasyFootballCalculator.com). Considering the ceiling, that’s a bargain.
