Fantasy managers who made it this far will be without quarterbacks Jalen Hurts (shoulder), Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), and Lamar Jackson (knee) for the championship round of the fantasy football playoffs. Gardner Minshew is expected to draw the start against New Orleans, and Teddy Bridgewater is confirmed as the starter versus New England. At the same time, Tyler Huntley fills in again for Jackson versus the Steelers. The Raiders are changing quarterbacks and benching Derek Carr in favor of Jarrett Stidham; the Cardinals will roll with David Blough against the Falcons. Meanwhile, Washington will start Carson Wentz over Taylor Heinicke in Week 17. We'll help you sort through it all with our updated Week 17 fantasy football quarterback rankings, as of January 1st. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key quarterbacks like Jared Goff, Gardner Minshew, Mike White, Teddy Bridgewater, and Carson Wentz rank, among others.
