Dolphins’ Ryan Fitzpatrick nominated for FedEx Air Player of the Week

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has had some great performances during his time with the Miami Dolphins. But of all those games, perhaps none stand out more than Fitzpatrick’s performance in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers. Fitzpatrick was inspired throughout the entire game, throwing bombs down the field with anticipation and shredding San Francisco’s worn down secondary as Miami trounced San Francisco to a big blowout win.

For Fitzpatrick’s efforts, he’s been nominated as one of the three candidates for the FedEx Air Player of the Week. Fitzpatrick squares off against Houston’ Deshaun Watson and Las Vegas’ Derek Carr for the weekly honor this week — and Dolphins fans will have the chance to push him through to claim the award with a fan vote.

The poll will close at 3PM on Wednesday afternoon and as things currently stand, Fitzpatrick does indeed hold the lead for his 350 yard performance against San Francisco after 46,000+ votes. This isn’t the first time Fitzpatrick has been up for the honor as a member of the Dolphins and he last won the award in Week 17 of 2019 when he helped prompt the Dolphins’ stunning upset over the New England Patriots in Foxborough.

Can he log another honor with the Dolphins? We’ll know by tomorrow afternoon.
