Week 16 Fantasy Football Rankings: Quarterbacks /

Welcome to Week 16 of the fantasy football season!

This is also the semifinals of the fantasy postseason, so we’re on our way to the ultimate goal … winning a title! As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the Week 16 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At quarterback, Justin Fields made a big jump upward based on a matchup against the Cardinals. Brock Purdy has a tough matchup against the Ravens, but he’s too hot to keep out of the top 10. Baker Mayfield has scored 20-plus points in each of his last two games, and he has a great matchup against the Jaguars up next.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck this week!
