Will Levis

Week 12 vs. Carolina Panthers
Will Levis had another subdued performance in Week 11 when he threw two touchdowns but only managed 158 passing yards on 17 attempts. The extremely low passing volume we saw in Week 11 will be a consistent risk for Levis as the Titans undoubtedly want to lean on the run as much as possible with the rookie under center. If you remove Levis' debut in Week 8, he has yet to finish any other week as anything better than a low-end QB2 for fantasy. His 13.9 fantasy points per game are not something you want to rely on as a starting option, and a matchup with a Panthers defense that is actually pretty tough on the pass only affirms that Levis is not someone to be started outside of the deepest fantasy formats.

Week 10 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Will Levis came back to earth last week in a loss to the Steelers after throwing four touchdown passes in his debut against the Falcons in Week 8. The real Levis is probably somewhere in between the two performances. Despite zero touchdowns and a pick in the Pittsburgh loss, Levis looked pretty solid. He finished with 262 passing yards and hung in the pocket despite getting sacked four times. It looked like a veteran defense taking advantage of a rookie’s second start.

This week, Levis faces a vulnerable Tampa Bay defense that ranks 24th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks this season. The Buccaneers also just got absolutely torched by C.J. Stroud and the Texans in what could’ve been the best game of the season. Don’t expect four touchdown passes or the production we saw from Stroud last week, but look for a rebound performance that puts Levis in solid streaming territory. We have him ranked as a quality QB2 option this week.
