Fantasy managers fortunate enough to still be alive in the fantasy football playoffs will be without quarterbacks Jalen Hurts (shoulder) and Lamar Jackson (knee). Gardner Minshew draws the start against Dallas, while Tyler Huntley fills in again for Jackson in a favorable matchup versus the Falcons. The Colts are changing quarterbacks and benching Matt Ryan in favor of Nick Foles. We're going to help you sort through it all with our updated Week 16 fantasy football quarterback rankings, as of December 24th. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key quarterbacks like Daniel Jones, Gardner Minshew, Sam Darnold, Tyler Huntley, and Nick Foles rank, among others.
