Some thoughts on quarterbacks in Week 4:
Bailey Zappe, New England Patriots
I stuck my neck out on Tuesday with the possible starter for the Patriots this week. With Mac Jones out for multiple games, Brian Hoyer doesn’t have the ceiling or resume to lead New England to many wins. Over his last 15 games, he passed for 736 yards with five touchdowns and five interceptions. Hoyer makes sense as a short-term cover for Jones. Zappe spent five seasons at Western Kentucky. He dominated over his final 18 games (7,800 passing yards with 80 touchdowns and 12 interceptions). The NFL is the big stage, but losing the Patriots' starting quarterback invites drastic measures.
Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs should have a much stronger receiving corps to face the Chiefs, setting the stage for Brady to have his best success of the season. I expect him to reward Mike Evans for his support in New Orleans with a high volume target showing.
