Summary

Quarterback Rank: #46All Players: #277

Orton got in a game last season and played very well, going 9-of-10 for 89 yards and a touchdown. He was the top backup for the Cowboys and served the role well. Orton is just 30 years old so his best years aren't behind him. He can be an effective starter in this league if given the chance but seems destined for backup material at this stage of his career. Orton doesn't have a great arm, but gets rid of the ball quickly and does a good job of hitting his receivers in stride. Orton doesn't throw a great deep ball, but has improved on that some through the year. Although Orton doesn't wow you with his ability, he seems to have a knack for making big plays. He can be a little turnover prone, though, having 57 interceptions to 81 touchdown passes for his career.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Orton is capable of that big game. He isn't flashy but can help fantasy teams when in a starting role. His numbers aren't elite but when starting for a full season, he can get you 20 scores and around 3,500-passing yards, making him worth some spot starts. But he has to be starting first, right?
