The fantasy championships are here! All our chips are on the table. There is no consolation prize. It’s winner take all and you’re in the hunt! Sorry for all the exclamation points, but this is it folks!
Below we have your Week 16 quarterback rankings to help you set those championship lineups. Good luck!
Injury/Status Report
Kyle Allen reportedly will get benched for Will Grier this week against the Colts. He can’t be much worse than Allen and has to be an upgrade as a deep passer.
Mike Tomlin finally committed to Devlin Hodges this week against the Jets, but the Steelers don’t have a quarterback on the roster who is good for fantasy purposes.
QB Ranking Tiers
Tier 1
Thankfully you don’t have your championship game in Week 17, especially if you rode Lamar Jackson to this pinnacle matchup. Jackson will likely sit next week if they can beat the Browns and that means they will go all out. RIP Brownies.
The highest over/under game of the week has the Texans and Buccaneers going head to head and that spells fantasy points and lots of them for DeShaun Watson and Jameis Winston.
Tier 2
Patrick Mahomes showed he’s still got it with a strong passing game in a snowstorm last week against Denver. As long as Chicago isn’t on fire, he should be able to give us another strong game due to his elite arm.
Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been great this year but a must-win game in a dome against a middling pass defense is enough to get me on board as he takes on the Vikings.
QB Streamers
Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to chuck and run enough to keep himself on the streamer list and this week he faces the Bengals in a must-lose game in Miami.
