Bills Beat: Ryan Fitzpatrick's career numbers vs. Rex Ryan are 'an unrelenting chronicle of aerial mishap and woe'

Sep 14, 2016

Ryan Fitzpatrick’s career statistics against Rex’s defenses are dreadful, an unrelenting chronicle of aerial mishap and woe.

The Jets quarterback has played 11 games against Ryan defenses, dating back to a 2008 start when he was with the Bengals and Ryan was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator. During those 11 games, Fitzpatrick has completed 47 percent of his passes for 1,823 yards (166 a game), with 16 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. In nine games as a starter, he is 1-8 against Rex.

Fantasy Impact:

Fitzpatrick did throw four touchdowns in two meetings against the Bills last year, though he also threw five interceptions, averaged 5.3 YPA and completed just 43.7% of his passes.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
