Fitzpatrick lost his job to Geno Smith, but Smith is now most likely out for the year with a possible ACL tear he sustained in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens. The benching was deserved, as Fitzpatrick threw ten interceptions from Weeks 3-6 and just two touchdown passes.
He should just be left on the waiver wire most weeks. But for Week 8, he has a very juicy matchup against the Cleveland Browns if you're in need of a bye-week filler with deep sleeper potential.
