Brock Osweiler, QB, Houston Texans

Brock Osweiler has been terrible, and that has him on waivers across most leagues. For some reason, people just don't seem to want to use the worst starting quarterback in the NFL.

The good news for fantasy players is that sometimes situations line up so that it doesn't matter how good a player is from a real-world perspective.

Case Keenum, the player Osweiler just overtook to be our last-rated quarterback among starters, dropped 30 fantasy points on the Detroit Lions. No quarterback has failed to score less than 17 fantasy points against Detroit, and more signal caller have scored 25-plus points (three) than have scored fewer than 20 (two).

Detroit ranks dead last in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play, and even the struggling Osweiler shouldn't have much trouble turning in a solid fantasy performance against them.
