Week 15 Positional Breakdown- QB

QB-
Contests are going to be won and lost with the quarterback position this week as there are no clear cut answers at the quarterback position this week.

Matt Ryan- Cash 
The Falcons are projected to score 32.5 points in this game, and for as bad as the 49ers have been against the pass, they have been equally as bad against the quarterback position as they have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. The problem is that Julio Jones is out, Mohammad Sanu is banged up, and the Falcons are 13.5 point favorites in this game. Ryan has a high floor, but his ceiling is relatively limited as if this game is a blowout, the Falcons will just run the ball a significant amount in this game. He is likely going to be my cash game quarterback, but I will not have a lot of him in GPP's.

Tyrod Taylor- GPP
Tyrod Taylor is an intriguing play in this game primarily because the Browns are such a bad team and LeSean McCoy is not 100% healthy. Taylor has ran for a touchdown in five of his last eight games and with the Browns having one of the worst defensive lines in the NFL, Taylor should have plenty of time to throw the ball and find holes as they lose contain due to poor gap assignments. It's tough to start him in cash, but he does offer some nice savings if you're willing to take a little bit of a risk.  He is a great GPP play this week.

Kirk Cousins- Cash/GPP
Kirk Cousins is facing a Carolina Panthers that has very little left to play for this season after a disappointing year after a Super Bowl run last year. The Panthers secondary has been one of the worst in the NFL this year giving up the third most yards per game at 272.4. We have seen Kirk Cousins' upside on Thanksgiving where he threw for 449 yards and three touchdowns. Cousins has struggled over the last two weeks on the road, but returns home this week which he has been much better at home over his career in a must-win game this week.

Aaron Rodgers-Off
I'm off Aaron Rodgers this week as living in Chicago it is going to blistering cold this weekend. The current forecast has this game as a -15-degree wind chill at kickoff tomorrow with 15 MPH winds.

Cam Newton- Off
I'm off players that have nothing left to play for and for me that is Cam Newton. Cam has already shown that he is not willing to dive for a fumble in the Super Bowl, so how much is he going to run when this team has nothing left to play for this season.
