Taylor Heinicke | QB

Week 16
268 pass yards
1 pass TDs
1 interceptions
- Heinicke is set to start Atlanta's final three regular-season games against the Colts, Bears, and Saints.
- In his only full game this season, Heinicke completed 21 of 38 pass attempts for 268 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
- For fantasy purposes, Heinicke is an emergency option in leagues that allow multiple quarterbacks in the lineup.
- His presence doesn't significantly impact skill-position players Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts.
