Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: 3 Average QBs That Are Must Starts

Not everybody values QBs in fantasy.

If you decided to stock up on wide receivers and running backs early on in the draft, that means you will be juggling QBs all season long.

There is nothing wrong with this tactic, but you have to be smart. Here are three players that are available in over 60 percent of leagues that are a strong play in Week 2.

Kyle Orton, vs. Cincinnati Bengals

On Monday, Orton did what he does best: cash in during garbage time. He threw for over 300 yards, and most of it came with the Broncos down double digits in the fourth quarter.

He does a good job of making sharp, accurate throws down the field and he has two receivers in Brandon Lloyd and Eric Decker that are capable of getting a ton of YAC.

The Bengals defense is instituting the bend-but-don’t-break mentality this year, which means that teams will be throwing all over the field on them.

I would expect another 300-yard performance from Orton with one or two TDs.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, vs. Oakland Raiders

Fitzpatrick has certainly shed the nickname “crazy legs” and has turned into a legitimate fantasy option. His four TDs against the Chiefs show you what the Bills plan to do with the ball around the goal line.

The Raiders' pass defense gives up a ton of yards, and you can expect the Bills to test them on deep routes with Stevie Johnson early and often.

Mark Sanchez at Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jets' running game stunk in Week 1 and the offense relied on Sanchez to save them with over 300 yards and two TDs. It’s clear Sanchez is much more comfortable under pressure now and isn’t afraid to throw the deep ball like he once was.

The Jags defense upfront is horrible and Sanchez should have all day to throw. His fantasy value is increasing by the day.
