Jacoby Brissett flies up to the overall QB7 spot in a delicious matchup at Tampa Bay. Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson fall a bit but still retain QB1 status. Ryan Fitzpatrick is suddenly the overall QB12. Gardner Minshew Jr. immediately retakes his mid-to-high QB2 banner after being renamed the starter in Jacksonville. Jimmy Garoppolo sadly tumbles into the RB3 tier.
Week 14 Quarterback Rankings
Rank | Quarterback | Team | Opponent | High Floor/High Ceiling QB1s |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rank | Quarterback | Team | Opponent | High Floor/High Ceiling QB1s |
1 | Lamar Jackson | BAL | at BUF | Buffalo's committment to stopping the pass should bode extremely well for Jackson's rushing game. |
2 | Deshaun Watson | HOU | DEN | Denver's given up decent fantasy scoring results to their recent opponents. Watson should be a-okay. |
3 | Patrick Mahomes | KC | at NE | This will be Mahomes' toughest regular season test. Deshaun Watson was able to keep things rolling against the Pats last week though. |
4 | Aaron Rodgers | GB | WAS | Rodgers should have no problem staying hot against Washington this week. |
5 | Jameis Winston | TB | IND | This is a get-right spot for Winston after last week's dud. |
6 | Josh Allen | BUF | BAL | A tough matchup but his legs keep him as a locked-in QB1. |
7 | Kirk Cousins | MIN | DET | A great matchup for Cousins to produce Top 10 results in. |
8 | Jacoby Brissett | IND | at TB | A date with Tampa Bay means the whole Indy passing game should be given starting consideration. |
9 | Drew Brees | NO | SF | Although it's a tough matchup, the important part of the equation is that they'll be playing in the Superdome. |
10 | Dak Prescott | DAL | at CHI | Prescott's had mixed results against dominant pass defenses over the last two weeks (@ NE and BUF), but we like his odds of retaining QB1 honors against the Bears. |
11 | Russell Wilson | SEA | at LAR | Seattle's committment to the run is hurting Wilson's ability to produce. |
12 | Ryan Fitzpatrick | MIA | at NYJ | Fitz and DeVante Parker at going to shred this middling defense. |
High Floor/High Ceiling QB2s | ||||
13 | Carson Wentz | PHI | NYG | Wentz is starting to get it done in the box score and the G-Men can't stop anything through the air. |
14 | Tom Brady | NE | KC | A date with KC's high-powered offense should force New England to ride-or-die by Brady's arm. |
15 | Ryan Tannehill | TEN | at OAK | Tannehill finally let us down, for the first time this season, last week against Indianapolis. This is a much easier matchup for him though. |
16 | Kyler Murray | ARI | PIT | This is a very tough spot for Murray. |
17 | Matt Ryan | ATL | CAR | Carolina's pass defense is lethal and an ailing Julio Jones doesn't help the matter. |
18 | Gardner Minshew Jr. | JAX | LAC | Tough matchup with a defense regaining its health. Minshew and his pass catchers are too hot to drop any lower though. |
19 | Sam Darnold | NYJ | MIA | Miami's offense should keep Darnold throwing. Miami's defense should keep Darnold scoring. |
20 | Baker Mayfield | CLE | CIN | Get-right spot, incoming. |
21 | Philip Rivers | LAC | at JAX | Minshew should keep Rivers throwing. |
22 | Jared Goff | LAR | SEA | A likely shootout on tap. |
23 | Devlin Hodges | PIT | at ARI | Hodges could work his way into mid-tier QB2 relevance in such a good matchup. |
24 | Jimmy Garoppolo | SF | at NO | Jimmy G will be forced to throw to keep pace with the Saints. |
Low Floor/Capped Ceiling QB3s | ||||
25 | Kyle Allen | CAR | at ATL | Allen should be able to take advantage of this one but he really is terrible. |
26 | David Blough | DET | at MIN | Blough actually has a significant mid-QB2 ceiling. He could throwing a barrage of interceptions though. |
27 | David Carr | OAK | TEN | Bad matchup for the struggling QB. |
28 | Mitchell Trubisky | CHI | DAL | Trubisky has turned things around as of late but this is a very tough matchup. |
29 | Drew Lock | DEN | at HOU | Lock looke okay, but he's unlikely to bring much to the box score this year. |
30 | Andy Dalton | CIN | at CLE | It's a moderately good matchup but this passing game is too bad to touch. |
31 | Eli Manning | NYG | at PHI | The Eagles' D-Line will feast on Manning all day long. |
32 | Dwayne Haskins Jr. | WAS | at GB | This will be a tough one for Haskins. It's a bad matchup. |
