The quarterback position in fantasy football teams brings in the most points week-on-week, so it's vital to make the right selection every single week.

Sam Howell has shocked the NFL world by establishing himself as a solid starter, both for the Washington Commanders and in fantasy football teams across the world.

Howell is ranked as QB6 and is averaging 18.9 fantasy points per game. He's aided by some elite weapons in Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Jahan Dotson, Brian Robinson, Antonio Gibson, and Logan Thomas.

He's elevated the play of all his offensive talent, with McLaurin being ranked as WR17 in PPR scoring.

Howell has passed for 14 touchdowns in 2023, more than Bengals QB Joe Burrow and Chargers QB Justin Herbert. He may have thrown eight picks already, but that number is the same as Bills QB Josh Allen, regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

In Week 10, Howell and the Commanders host the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have allowed the 16th most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, right in the middle of the pack. This is the definition of an average matchup, but there's a chance Howell explodes.
