This season, however, it's hard not to notice the change in Sanchez. Of the 33 quarterbacks who've scored more than 10 fantasy points so far, Peyton Manning, Michael Vick and Sanchez are the only ones without an interception. Since Week 1, Rex Ryan's bunch has produced 59 points, and Sanchez has a pair of three-touchdown games, 22 standard fantasy points in each and nary a turnover. In fact, Sanchez has yet to commit a turnover in three games, which is startling considering his 2009 performance. Although the upside for large passing totals in yards and touchdowns remains somewhat limited on this defensive-minded, run-focused team, it's impressive nevertheless and would have made Sanchez quite a bit more popular on draft day had fantasy owners thought mistake-free football was possible from him.
To see whose fantasy value is rising and whose is falling heading into Week 4, you must be an ESPN Insider.
