Week 16 fantasy football quarterback rankings. Set winning lineups with our Week 16 quarterback ranks for fantasy football and the 2023 NFL season.
Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more fantasy football rankings. Week 16 is here; it's the second game of the fantasy postseason. Let's Go! Fantasy managers must set their lineups earlier with Thursday Night Football and two Saturday games. For fantasy managers searching for a streamer or injury replacement for the fantasy playoffs, we've got you covered with our fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 16 of the fantasy football season.
We have more quarterback changes and injuries in Week 16. The Falcons are replacing Desmond Ridder with Taylor Heinicke, while the Steelers will go with Mason Rudolph over Mitch Trubisky. Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, while Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is facing an uphill battle to start versus the Seahawks. Veterans Case Keenum and Ryan Tannehill will likely draw the start this week, but neither are great fantasy options. Here's where Heinicke, Rudolph, Keenum, Tannehill, and other fantasy options such as Baker Mayfield, Joe Flacco, Nick Mullens, and Aidan O'Connell rank this week.
Our fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 16 are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.
