Cam Newton, QB, Panthers
Seven total touchdowns against just two turnovers has Cam Newton looking like an early MVP candidate. While the Buccaneers have tightened up their passing defense over the last two weeks, Marcus Mariota’s Week 1 explosion against Tampa Bay still has me convinced that their passing defense is suspect. Newton has produced big time fantasy numbers over the last two weeks and it should continue on Sunday.
Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons
One of the most underrated quarterbacks in fantasy football, Matt Ryan has quietly put together a solid start to the season (five touchdown passes, two interceptions) and looks like a strong candidate to keep it going this week against the Texans. Houston just got ripped to shreds by Newton and the Panthers, and the Texans have surrendered six TD passes in three weeks.
Andy Dalton, QB, Bengals
Consider me all-in on the “Red Rifle’s” bandwagon. Eight touchdown, one interception and at least 18 points in every game this season has Andy Dalton looking like a Top 10 or even Top 5 quarterback. I see no reason why he can’t keep his early season success going against a Chiefs team that has given up 10 TD passes this season and has one of the worst passing defenses in the league.
