Strictly playing the NFL matchups would have helped many fantasy football managers avoid a subpar showing from a star quarterback.
Respectively facing the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson all posted tame fantasy lines. Of course, it's far easier in hindsight to say someone should have benched a championship-winning quarterback for Blake Bortles, Andy Dalton or Ryan Fitzpatrick.
In a landscape where a dozen signal-callers just eclipsed 300 passing yards, it's rarely advisable to settle for a bad matchup under center.
