Quarterback Rank: #56
Overall: #292
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. |

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." |
