Case Keenum

Week 4 at New York Giants

Case Keenum played both well and poorly in Week 3. For fantasy purposes, he finished with over 300 passing yards and two scores. But he also turned the ball over five times. Keenum is an interesting fantasy option because he's the 12th-highest scoring QB, and yet he's available in 86% of Yahoo leagues. He even gets a great matchup this week against the Giants who are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. QBs are averaging 346 passing yards against the Giants so far this season. He's dealing with a foot injury, but he is expected to play. There are better quarterbacks available this week, but Keenum could be a sneaky start if you're in need of someone for Week 4.

Week 2 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Case Keenum was surprisingly a great option last week, finishing with 380 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Washington ended up relying on Keenum's arm once running back Derrius Guice left the game early due to injury. Oddly, Washington made Adrian Peterson inactive in Week 1, so the team must not have felt comfortable in giving any other backs carries. That should change in Week 2, so expect to see fewer pass attempts this week.

Keenum also gets a fairly tough matchup against the Cowboys this week. Expect much lower production from Keenum against Dallas, making him not really worth a start this week.

Week 17 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Last Monday in Oakland the Broncos fell behind by multiple scores in the first half, which meant Case Keenum had more pass attempts than the Broncos coaching staff would have preferred. He finished with 202 yards through the air and two TDs tosses – the first time since Week 12 that he threw for more than one score. In the Denver win in November at Los Angeles Keenum threw for 205 yards and he remains a QB2 option for the rematch.
