Quarterback Rank: #56
Overall: #293
Volek didn't play a snap last season. And his chances of starting any time soon seem slim. He is a solid backup, though. Volek hasn't started a game in three seasons with the Chargers, serving as Philip Rivers backup. Volek has played well when given the chance, throwing 26 touchdown passes compared to 14 interceptions. Volek has a plus arm with pretty good accuracy and the brains to succeed.

He is an intriguing fantasy talent, but the chances of him seeing much playing time seem slim. |

"The funny thing is, to this day, I still don't know why I am not starting (for the Titans)," Volek said. "The only thing that I can think of is I was kind of a scapegoat for the offense, not putting up 40-50 points in the preseason?If you want to point the finger at me, point the finger at me. I am fine with that. But let me know why I am not playing, and that never happened here. No one told me. Yes, I leave with some bitterness. But I am trying to think of the good times." |
