Assuming Matthew Stafford remains sidelined, Driskel isn’t a bad option if you need a quarterback due to injury or a bye. First, he’s got a favorable matchup against Washington this week. Second, he put up some solid fantasy points Sunday. He threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown. Driskel is quick and is capable of doing even more damage as a runner.
