Fantasy Football Rankings Week 8: Ryan Fitzpatrick and QBs Sure to Impress

Ryan Fitzpatrick recently signed a new contract with the Buffalo Bills, and will prove he's worth the money to the franchise and your fantasy team in Week 8 of the NFL season.

There are several quarterbacks with quality matchups this week, including Drew Brees, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger.

Let's take a look at the quarterbacks who are sure to impress in your fantasy league this week.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick leads the Buffalo Bills offense against a Washington Redskins team that has lost two straight games.

At 4-2, the Bills need a win to keep pace with the AFC East-leading New England Patriots, and Fitzpatrick will help them do that with a big game against Washington.

The Redskins have allowed 218.3 passing yards per game this season, but gave up 256 yards passing to Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton last week in a 33-20 loss.

Fitzpatrick is ready for a great game on Sunday.

Drew Brees

Drew Brees is arguably the hottest quarterback in the NFL right now, and passed for 325 yards and five touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts in a 62-7 win last week.

Brees completed 31-of-35 pass attempts and carved up the Colts defense with ease.

Against the winless St. Louis Rams who are terrible on defense, Brees will have another massive day and will almost certainly pass for at least 300 yards.

Cam Newton

One very impressive stat from Cam Newton's excellent performance in the Carolina Panthers' 33-20 win over Washington last week was his accuracy.

Newton completed 18-of-23 pass attempts for 256 yards and a touchdown. He also did not throw an interception.

Not only will Newton play well against the Minnesota Vikings through the air on Sunday, he will get you valuable points on the ground as well.
