Quarterbacks for NFL Week 2 - Fanduel

Vick Helped Win Fanduel Players Money.
Fanduel Plays of the Week - Quarterbacks

Quarterbacks have the potential for the largest bang for your buck in Fanduel weekly leagues. While Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers will be bad asses for an entire season there are weeks when they will be outperformed by the EJ Manuel and Tim Tebow's of the world.

Michael Vick - $8,100
Under Chip Kelly's high octane offense Vick is a stud. He led many a Fanduel commish to victory last week and while some pundits claim the magic won't last I say ride him while he's hot. Vick has a chance to outperform all quarterbacks this week, but will cost you $1,700 less than Peyton Manning and $1,500 less than Drew Brees.

This week he'll go against the lowly San Diego Chargers who gave away a huge lead to the Packers to lose. Expect Vick and company to walk all over the Chargers and help you win several nice payouts.

Prediction: 240 yards passing and 2 passing TDs.  5 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD.

Terrele Pryor - $6,500
Pryor is a perfect example of how a crappy NFL QB can be a great Fanduel play. Last week his 102 rushing yards gave savvy Fanduel commissioners a huge boost.

This week they go against the lowly, lowest of the low, Jacksonville Jaguars who managed an accidental safety as their only bit of offense. Pryor's legs and arm will be too much for Jacksonville. I expect him to come close to matching his numbers from last week.

Prediction: 205 yards passing and 1 TD. 80 yards rushing and 1 TD.

Sam Bradford -$7,000
Sam Bradford has broken many a heart in traditional fantasy football leagues, but in a weekly Fanduel league he can be a low price value with great upside. This is one of those weeks where his value outstrips his cost.

I expect him to get into a shootout with the Atlanta Falcons this week and while I fully expect the Falcons to win, Bradford will post a nice stat line that will make him a value play.

Prediction: 285 passing yards and 2 TDs.
