QB rankings - Week 16
Rank | Quarterback | Team | Opponent | High-Floor/High-Ceiling QB1s |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rank | Quarterback | Team | Opponent | High-Floor/High-Ceiling QB1s |
1 | Patrick Mahomes | KC | at SEA | Lucky for us, KC still has something to play for. |
2 | Josh Allen | BUF | at NE | It'll be sandlot football as the Bills try to catchup to the Patriots. |
3 | Russell Wilson | SEA | KC | Seattle will be throwing frequently in the second-half. |
4 | Ben Roethlisberger | PIT | at NO | Shootout. |
5 | Deshaun Watson | HOU | at PHI | Gotta love a matchup with the Philly secondary. |
6 | Baker Mayfield | CLE | CIN | A must-win for CLE and they get the Cincy D. |
7 | Matt Ryan | ATL | at CAR | Stellar matchup against a bad Carolina defense. |
Tough-to-trust QB1s. You're starting them unless you've got one of the 1-7 options. | ||||
8 | Andrew Luck | IND | NYG | The Colts are still in the playoffoff hunt. Luck's results have been up and down as of late. |
9 | Drew Brees | NO | PIT | All signs point to a big day from Brees: At home against a strong offensive opponent. |
10 | Jared Goff | LAR | at ARI | The Rams are still playing for the No. 1 seed. |
11 | Mitchell Trubisky | CHI | at SF | The Bears have clinched the division but they can still try to get a 1st round bye. Great matchup. |
12 | Lamar Jackson | BAL | at LAC | Jackson's tough to place. He's got a sky-high floor but this is a tough matchup. Expect somewhere around 18 fantasy points from him this week. |
High-Ceiling/High-Floor QB2s | ||||
13 | Dak Prescott | DAL | TB | The matchup is there but Dak's been shaky as of late. |
14 | Aaron Rodgers | GB | at NYJ | It's a decent matchup. Rodgers' ceiling just hasn't been what it normally is. |
15 | Philip Rivers | LAC | BAL | This is a must-win. Rivers will be on top of his game. |
High-Floor/Capped-Ceiling QB2s | ||||
16 | Tom Brady | NE | BUF | Tough matchup but Brady will come out shooting. |
17 | Nick Foles | PHI | HOU | Decent matchup and he's got the supporting cast to put up decent numbers. |
18 | Kirk Cousins | MIN | at DET | Solid matchup. |
19 | Case Keenum | DEN | at OAK | Gotta love a date with the Raiders. |
20 | Sam Darnold | NYJ | GB | The Jets will be forced to throw often as the rookie tries to keep pace with Aaron Rodgers. |
Low-Floor/Capped-Ceiling QB2s | ||||
21 | Jameis Winston | TB | at DAL | Winston's an extremely volatile option against a very good Dallas defense. |
22 | Josh Johnson | WAS | at TEN | Johnson's floor is based entirely on his feet. It's a tough matchup. |
23 | Derek Carr | OAK | DEN | Denver's banged up secondary could bode well-ish for the lowly Raiders offense. |
24 | Nick Mullens | SF | CHI | Brutal matchup for the over-performing Mullens. |
QB3s | ||||
25 | Taylor Heinicke | CAR | ATL | Heinicke could actually rush his way into a Top 15 finish. He could also throw 4 interceptions. It's a good matchup though. If you're looking for a desperation, lighting-in-a-bottle play, he's your guy. |
26 | Cody Kessler | JAX | at MIA | The matchup elevates him above the rest. |
27 | Ryan Tannehill | MIA | JAX | This could be brutal. |
28 | Josh Rosen | ARI | LAR | The matchup is decent. |
29 | Eli Manning | NYG | at IND | He's somehow still in contention to start in 2019. |
30 | Marcus Mariota | TEN | WAS | Mariota threw for 88 yards last week. 88 yards... |
31 | Jeff Driskel | CIN | at CLE | Jeff Driskel isn't Matthew Stafford facing the Vikings so he gets the 31 spot. |
32 | Matthew Stafford | DET | MIN | What happened to this guy? |
