Josh McCown, QB, New York Jets

The Atlanta Falcons haven't allowed the kind of fantasy numbers to quarterbacks that the Colts have, but they have allowed some pretty consistent production, with no quarterback having scored fewer than 12 fantasy points against them -- and that's despite matchups against the likes of Jay Cutler and Mike Glennon. The Falcons also rank an ugly 25th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play.

Josh McCown has come on as a very strong fantasy quarterback in recent weeks, posting 14-plus fantasy points in five of his last six games, tossing at least two touchdowns in four of those contests, and boasting a very competent 0.08 Passing NEP per drop back in that stretch.

McCown has been a top-seven fantasy quarterback in each of his last two starts, and he's not likely to slow down much against a shaky Falcons pass defense this week.
