Week 16 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings: Dak Prescott Out Of The Top 10
Welcome to Week 16 and the second week of the fantasy football playoffs! If you survived the first round and have advanced, congratulations! Now, let’s go win that league championship!
The NFL schedule no longer has bye weeks, so we’ll get all 32 teams and all our players (at least the healthy ones) who have helped us reach this point in the season. I would also not be afraid to sit a “big name” quarterback who has struggled, like Lamar Jackson or Dak Prescott, if you have a respectable pivot on your fantasy roster.
This week’s biggest quarterback ranking risers are Jared Goff, Jacoby Brissett, and Bo Nix, all of whom have great matchups or are playing at an exceeding high level lately. On the flip side, signal-callers like Jackson, Prescott, and Trevor Lawrence have either seen their fantasy stats decline in recent weeks or could struggle against a tough opponent.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 16 of the NFL season! Be sure to check back daily for updates!
