Fantasy Football Week 17 Rankings: Quarterback

Fantasy Football Week 17 Rankings: Quarterback image

Many quarterbacks struggled last week, with only six QBs reaching over 20 points and half the league went under 16 points.  Our Week 17 QB rankings doesn't foresee that happening again, which would be good news for fantasy owners battling for the fantasy football championship this week.

There are a couple of teams who could conceivably bench their QBs at some point in the game.  The Jaguars, Eagles, and Chiefs are all locked in their spots, so it wouldn't be surprising if Blake Bortles and Nick Foles didn't play entire games. At the same time, the Rams, who play late, could be locked into their seed depending on how the Saints and Panthers games play out earlier in the day.  Fantasy owners should monitor the teams' gameplans heading up to game time.

For Carson Wentz and Aaron Rodgers fantasy owners who continue to survive, the waiver wire is pretty solid this week.  Despite another tough matchup for Jimmy Garoppolo, he should continue to do well after he shredded the No. 1 defense, the Jags, last week.  Other options include Tyrod Taylor (@ Dolphins) and Jacoby Brissett (vs. Texans).  Cam Newton (@ Falcons) and Alex Smith (@ Broncos) (Update: Patrick Mahomes is starting) both have tough matchups, but Newton should be able to pound out a solid outing.
