Underrated Week 1 Streaming QBs

Looking for a streaming QB this week, particularly if you're in a 2-QB league?  On Twitter people are telling me they're deciding between guys like Alex Smith and Ryan Tannehill.  Surely there are better options.

Here are a couple that no one's talking about, so I feel compelled to:

  1. Ryan Fitzpatrick
  2. Shaun Hill

These journeymen starters have a lot in common.  Both average about 1.6 TDs per game for their career.  Both are playing at home.  Both are facing competitors with terrible passing defenses.  And both have a lot to prove, as there's no guarantee either one will be starting a few weeks from now.

I'm predicting 225+ yards and 2+ TDs for each of these virtually forgotten QBs.  That would translate to about 16-20 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues, which is better than Aaron Rodgers did last night, and will be better than about half of the QBs starting in Week 1.
