Where does Ryan Fitzpatrick land in PFF's 2021 analytical quarterback rankings?
The Washington Football Team signed veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in March to help take the team to a different level in 2021. Washington won the NFC East in 2020 with a 7-9 record behind a defense that ranked No. 2 in total defense. The Football Team struggled to score points at times last season, in part, because of lackluster quarterback play. Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, is coming off one of his better seasons, despite only playing part-time in 2020. Pro Football Focus recently ranked every NFL teams projected starting quarterback based on the sites analytics, with rookies obviously excluded. He came in at No. 22 overall. His ranking is second for NFC East quarterbacks behind Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys. Fitzpatricks overall score was 59.8%. If Washington can get the same production that Miami did from Fitzpatrick in 2020, the Football Team will be in a good position to repeat as NFC East champions. If Fitzpatrick struggles, Washington can turn to Taylor Heinicke.
