Most fantasy football rosters don't have multiple good options at quarterback, but those who do and have advanced this far in the playoffs are looking to make the right decision to avoid elimination.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, and Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love have all had varying degrees of success this season.
Let's see which players you should start for this crucial week.
Should I Start Brock Purdy for Fantasy Football?
Purdy struggled massively in Week 15, scoring just 4.98 fantasy points. He threw for only 142 yards, failing to score and throwing an interception in the process. It was a rainy game, and injuries to his offensive linemen left him under constant pressure.

You can't blame him for trying to make something happen. Notice how he got smoked after this play. We've seen QBs like Purdy and Houston Texans signal-caller C.J. Stroud fall off in a big way once their OL play took a step back.
Purdy is a midrange QB2 for Week 16. He's not a great player to start. His best offensive lineman, Trent Williams (ankle), has been the glue holding the offense together, and he may miss the rest of the year.
Should I Start Drake Maye for Fantasy Football?
Maye has been more consistent than Purdy lately. His fantasy scoring has been buoyed by his effectiveness as a scrambler -- he's run for 99 yards and a TD in his last three contests. He's thrown between 200 and 240 yards in each of those games while tossing one TD and one pick in each game as well.

The data says he's good. The film says his offensive line is the worst in football (the data says that as well -- really, everyone but Bears fans say that as well). And he won't have an easy matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. But garbage time is the savior of many players in fantasy football. So he's a solid start in Week 12. His rushing upside makes a big difference.
Should I Start Jordan Love for Fantasy Football?
Yes. He's been a set-and-forget player for a while. Operating in head coach Matt LaFleur's elite offense works wonders for Love, and he's made some ridiculous throws to reward MLF for scheming pass-catchers open.
jordan love is a god damn technician. handling some business pre-snap before fitting the ball into the world’s tiniest window. just an amazing play pic.twitter.com/LpCglLqGKl

Good QB, good offense, good for your QB spot in fantasy.
