Fortunately, there are enough good quarterbacks that you should be able to field a decent option. In addition to all the worthwhile players drafted as backups, guys like Alex Smith (@ Redskins), Case Keenum (vs. Raiders), and even Nick Foles (@ Bucs) are viable plays this week and possibly available on your waiver wire.
We are also not giving up on the Week 1 busts, which include Prescott, Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Deshaun Watson. We should see some nice bounce backs from at least a few, if not all of them, this week. You might find that hard to believe if you took an “L” in Week 1 because of one of them, but all faced tough defenses/poor conditions. The only one we’re really worried about is Prescott, but a home game against the Giants might be exactly what he needs to get on track.
