SUMMARY
Quarterback Rank: #78   
Overall: #455


Hoyer got in a handful of games as the Patriots top backup last season. He got his most extensive work the last game of the season, going 7-of-13 for 122 yards and a touchdown without an interception. Hoyer hasn't been too bad in two NFL seasons, completing 62 percent of his passes. He seems to have a pretty firm grip on the backup job in New England. Hoyer has pretty good size and a decent arm. He has displayed good leadership qualities, especially in college, which is encouraging for his NFL career Hoyer is young and still has a lot to learn (i.e. reading defenses), but has a great guy to learn from in Brady.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Hoyer is decent insurance for Tom Brady owners, but probably isn't worth a roster spot just yet. He'll be a hot item on waivers if Brady were to get hurt, though. Just remember what Matt Cassel did when thrown into the fire in New England a few years back.
The New England Patriots are expected to tender restricted free-agent QB Brian Hoyer at least at the second-round level this offseason.

Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports it appears New England Patriots QB Brian Hoyer will be the team's backup quarterback since the team will release QB Andrew Walter.
