There are three QBs who haven't gotten a lot of love this season (much of it merited), but who are prime breakout candidates. I believe each of them will get 19+ points this week, placing them squarely among the top 8 scoring QBs.
(1) Matt Stafford has looked way too human this season. Now that Calvin Johnson is healthy and has some games under his belt, and now that Detroit's backfield and tight end corps are getting healthy, and now that they're no longer playing two road games against the NFL's two best teams, expect a big T-Day performance for Stafford: 300+ yards and 3+ TDs.
(2) Ryan Fitzpatrick reclaims Houston's starting QB job after Ryan Mallett got hurt. Fitz had at least 20 fantasy points in 4 out of 11 games last year and has double-digit points in 8 out of 9 contests this year. He's playing for real-life relevance, and I think we'll see his best game of the season as a result: 250+ yards and 2+ TDs.
(3) I think we'll see the good Shaun Hill this week. Whether dumping off to his running backs or finding Kenny Britt or Stedman Bailey deep, he should look good against the Raiders: 200+ yards and 2+ TDs.
Happy Thanksgiving, and kick some ass.
