Need a QB in Week 13? Consider Matt Barkley!

Barkley attempted 54 passes last week with the Bears clawing back from a big deficit, and they should have won the game if not for two dropped touchdowns in the final minutes of the game. Barkley went 28-for-54 for 316 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He wasn't helped by eight dropped passes. Barkley won't have to throw that many times against the 49ers, who have allowed multiple touchdowns passes in every game this year except two. One came in Week 1 against Case Keenum, and the other was against Carson Palmer, who passed for 376 yards. He's certainly in play in leagues that start quarterbacks if you have Marcus Mariota, who has a bye.
