On Sunday, Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick sliced up the Titans' 28th-ranked passing defense for 263 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions, contributing an impressive 0.37 Passing NEP per drop back (to put this into perspective Andy Dalton was leading the league in this metric going into Week 14 with a mark of 0.35 per drop back).

This follows from two strong performances in Weeks 12 and 13, where Fitzpatrick threw for 277 yards and 4 touchdowns against Miami and then another 390 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Giants.

So while Fitzpatrick has a relatively tough schedule the final three weeks of the season -- the Jets take on the Cowboys, Patriots, and Bills and their 14th, 11th, and 8th-ranked passing defenses -- Fitzpatrick makes an excellent add for those in need at quarterback as there are likely few options on your wire who have been hotter than he has over the last few weeks.
