 You may not realize this, but Sam Howell has actually been a decent fantasy quarterback this season. Among all quarterbacks who have played five or more games, Howell ranks as the QB8 in standard fantasy points per game. According to my adjusted fantasy points allowed numbers though, Howell has faced the easiest schedule in football to start the year. Five of his eight games have come against top eight favorable opponents for quarterbacks. Another one was a game against the 11th ranked opponent. He's played in two bottom half matchups this season. In those games, his fantasy totals were 0.6 and 9.5. Now it's good that he's taking advantage of good matchups. We want quarterbacks to do that, but there's a lot more volatility to this profile than you might realize. Especially because moving forward, Washington has just the 20th best schedule for quarterbacks. It may not be as smooth for Sam Howell from here on out.
