3. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Total QBR: 76.6
FitzMagic might not possess Matthew Stafford's arm strength or Brees' accuracy, but he chucks it downfield like he has both. Frankly, it seems like he's got the right idea.
The Bucs aren't great, so the best thing they can do is go for the high-risk, high-reward strategy of slinging it deep to Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson and hoping for the best.
Fitzpatrick has attempted a higher percentage of his passes 20-plus yards downfield than every other quarterback in the league -- except teammate Jameis Winston. The difference? The veteran journeyman has the third-highest QBR on such passes while Winston is dead last. Whether Fitzpatrick can keep up that production remains to be seen, but at least to this point, he has lapped his competition in this area.
Just missed: Philip Rivers, Los Angeles Chargers (76.4); Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams (76.3)
