Tier 4 Quarterbacks:

15. Andy Dalton of the Cincinnati Bengals was having his best year of his career last year before an injury cut his season short. Dalton had 25 touchdowns just seven interceptions and passed for 3,250 yards. Dalton also added three rushing touchdowns. Dalton missed the last four games with a thumb injury. Dalton should have another good year, but don’t forget he lost some weapons on offense. Dalton lost Mohammad Sanu and Marvin Jones but still has one of the best in wideout A.J. Green.

16. Despite a recent loss, Detroit Lions’ Mathew Stafford’s even Detroit Lions experts overlook Stafford who is having one of his better seasons of his career. The obvious issue here is Stafford lost his best receiver Calvin Johnson. Stafford however has nice receivers even without Megatron in Golden Tate , Marvin Jones and Anquan Boldin. Last year, Stafford had 32 passing touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He passed for 4,262 yards. Stafford is still just 28-years old and throws the football plenty.

17. The Falcons’ Matt Ryan disappointed last season. Ryan had just 21 touchdown passes, and he had 16 interceptions. Ryan had high passing yardage totals with 4,591 yards last season, but he did have trouble scoring touchdowns. I think Ryan will increase his passing touchdown totals this season. In 2014 Ryan had 4,694 yards and 28 touchdowns. I think Ryan is more likely to throw 25-28 touchdowns rather than the 21 we saw last year. Ryan seems to never live up to the hype whether its fantasy or playoff games but I think hes a solid and potentially overlooked option this year.

18. Tyrod Taylor of the Buffalo Bills brings you a dual threat. He can run the football, and he can pass the ball better than people think. Taylor puts his body on the line a lot which usually leads to injury. People sometimes question his turnover issues, but Taylor had just six interceptions and one fumble in 2015. Taylor did not pass for over 300 yards once in 2015, but he had over 260 four different times last year. Taylor can give you yards rushing and passing so his point totals are usually very strong.
