UPDATE
Daniel Jones is officially out and Eli Manning will take his spot. Manning is likely a downgrade for the offense.
Baker Mayfield is practicing in full and gets a good matchup at home.
The playoffs are here! This is for all the Doritos! or is it Tostitos? Something about toes, anyway, fantasy football season is slipping away, but we can hold lightning in our hands with a championship!
Below we have your Week 14 quarterback rankings to help you set those playoff lineups. Good luck!
Injury/Status Report
The Lions are keeping the “door open” for Matthew Stafford to return this season, but it doesn’t look like he’ll end up playing. Jeff Driskel was sent to I.R. and David Blough will start in Minnesota this week.
Gardner Minshew will remain the Jaguars starting quarterback after taking over for Nick Foles last week.
Baker Mayfield had his hand wrapped after the Steelers game, but coach Freddie Kitchens believes he’ll be good to go against the Bengals this week.
QB Ranking Tiers
Tier 1
The Bills are a tough defense against most quarterbacks, but Lamar Jackson isn’t most quarterbacks.
Aaron Rodgers is coming off a big game against a bad NFC East team on the road and now he takes on a bad NFC East team at home.
Tier 2
Patrick Mahomes has been in a funk and now he heads to New England, but we saw DeShaun Watson put up good numbers on the Patriots and Mahomes will right the ship sooner than later.
Carson Wentz put up big numbers against a bad Dolphins defense and should be able to do the same against the Giants, especially as his receivers are getting healthier.
QB Streamers
Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Ryan Tannehill have shown they can all be successful streamers this season and this week all three have strong matchups while many of the top quarterbacks have tough matchups.
