Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Ryan Fitzpatrick's fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Washington's lack of additions to the QB room makes it a near certainty we see Fitz have a longer leash under center than he has in roughly half a decade. Throw in his recent history of success as well as the Football Team's suddenly stocked WR room, and you have the recipe for a legit great late-round QB option. Ian closes out the podcast with Fitzpatrick's specific ranking and expectations for Washington in 2021

| 0:00.0 | I'm your host Ian Hartitz and today we continue our fantasy files series with a look at Ryan |
| 0:16.0 | Fitzpatrick. People love him. Hate him. I don't know anyone that hates Ryan Fitzpatrick. |
| 0:21.6 | But like the NFL is more fun when this dude is starting quarterback for one of the leagues |
| 0:25.6 | 32 teams. I mean, throughout his whole career you'll find just some fantastic press conference |
| 0:30.2 | material, you know, the Sean Jackson outfit outfit. Here's on the jets and just freaking |
| 0:36.3 | giddy after a game because I think a Nick Mangold or something like true joy comes out of this |
| 0:41.7 | manchild at times and it's just fantastic to see. And I mean, that's just saying like what he is |
| 0:47.6 | as you know, a person, you know, the the Harvard grad that everyone knows about. But I mean, |
| 0:51.6 | he had seriously probably the single best throw of 2020 as well against the Raiders getting his |
| 0:57.5 | helmet freaking ripped off and he still found a way to sling it really in the it was like a cover |
| 1:01.5 | two whole shot and he got it to Mac Hollins if I'm not mistaken. So again, Fitzmagic, I know he's |
| 1:08.7 | had kind of a bumpy up and down NFL career, but my goodness. I just as someone that watches every |
| 1:13.5 | game on every Sunday, you know, he's someone that I enjoy to see out there because we're better. |
| 1:18.8 | And you know, sometimes for words too, he is still a very entertaining guy and it does seem like |
| 1:23.2 | that he is going to have one of those starting 32 jobs this year. Didn't know at first, |
| 1:28.0 | Ron Rivera came out and I'm leaving his first interview saying that you know, they're not really |
| 1:31.6 | going to be starting anyone and he wants everyone to compete. But here Pat in the past, you know, |
| 1:37.0 | months, Ron Rivera has come back and said, Fitzpatrick is going to come as number one, but there will |
| 1:41.8 | be a competition. That's fine. Ron Rivera's a type of coach is preach, you know, meritocracy at every |
| 1:46.7 | position. We come out every single day working for our job, including myself type of guy. Let's not let |
| 1:52.9 | oh, it's great. Ron Rivera named Fitzpatrick the number one like he's coming in as that. Let's |
| 1:57.2 | look at the rest of the Washington off season to see if there's any reason to believe he won't be |
