The quarterback position emerges relatively unscathed from the Week 8 byepocalypse. The six signal callers taking a seat this week are Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Joe Flacco, Case Keenum, Ryan Tannehill and Colin Kaepernick. Only two of those players, Roethlisberger and Manning, are regular starters in one-quarterback formats, and Manning’s owner has likely found a second quarterback to, at the very least, compete with Manning for starts. Flacco, Tannehill and Kaepernick are streamers and mid-tier to low-end QB2s in superflex leagues. Keenum isn’t on anyone’s radar. In all likelihood, the overall quarterback position will be in worse shape two weeks from now when only four teams are on bye, including Detroit (Matthew Stafford), Indianapolis (Andrew Luck) and Oakland (Derek Carr).
