1. Mark Sanchez, Philadelphia Eagles

2014 Statistics: 2,418 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, three lost fumbles (139.42 points) 

It's highly unlikely that Sanchez will return to the Eagles as a starting quarterback next season, especially with Nick Foles set to return after missing substantial time with injury this past season and Chip Kelly now in control of the team's player personnel department. We can also expect Sanchez to look for an opportunity to start next season. That's where the Buffalo Bills, who hired Sanchez's former coach Rex Ryan as their head man, comes into play. Realistically, Sanchez would challenge EJ Manuel for the starting gig in Western New York. The St. Louis Rams are also another squad that could show some interest in Sanchez. 

From a fantasy perspective, Sanchez wasn't all too bad in 2014. He put up above-average fantasy performances in six of his nine appearances, including 20-plus points three times. However, it must be noted that Kelly's scheme is incredibly fantasy-friendly to quarterbacks, so we can't expect the same type of performance on another team next season. If you're conducting your standard re-draft or dynasty drafts prior to the start of free agency, Sanchez isn't even worth a look in deeper leagues. He's a waiver-wire claim waiting to happen. 

2. Brian Hoyer, Cleveland Browns

2014 Statistics: 3,334 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, one lost fumble (157.26 points) 

Hoyer started out the season strong, but was benched after struggling big time during a five-game span from Week 10 to Week 14. Over the course of those five games, Hoyer racked up 36.5 fantasy points while accumulating one touchdown compared to eight interceptions. Now entering free agency, there is no way to tell what's going to happen with Hoyer. He could return to the Browns and compete with Johnny Manziel as the team's starter, but that seems a bit far-fetched right now. The most-likely scenario is that Hoyer joins a team that has a mediocre starting quarterback and looks to win the job in camp. In this, the St. Louis Rams and Washinton Redskins might make some sense. As with every other quarterback in this article, Hoyer is nothing more than a waiver-wire addition once the dust settles on his future. 

3. Jake Locker, Tennessee Titans

2014 Statistics: 993 passing yards, five touchdowns, seven interceptions, one lost fumble (63.92 points) 

Locker is an intriguing player in deeper dynasty leagues. He has failed to remain healthy throughout his four-year career, but still possesses some solid upside. When healthy, we have seen a little progression in his game. In comparison to other quarterbacks on this list, he's someone to keep an eye on. There isn't a huge recent sample size (12 starts last two seasons). In those 12 starts, Locker racked up 2,600 total yards and 16 touchdowns compared to 11 interceptions. Not great numbers by any stretch of the imagination, but something good teams can work with. Locker's value (or lack of value) will depend greatly on where he lands and what role he finds himself in. Of course, this is only in deeper dynasty leagues. He's not a draft-worthy player in standard 12-draft leagues. That much is clear. 

4. Ryan Mallett, Houston Texans

2014 Statistics: 400 passing yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions (19.80 points) 

After waiting three-plus seasons for an opportunity to start, Mallett finally got his chance following a preseason trade from the New England Patriots to the Houston Texans. Unfortunately for Mallett, that opportunity came to an end after just two starts following a season-ending injury in Week 12. But in two games, Mallett looked pretty darn good. The former third-round pick displayed the arm strength that we saw at Arkanas and may have done enough for the Texans to look at him as a potential starter moving forwad. As with Locker, the upside is higher here in comparison to the other quarterbacks in this article.
