NFL Week 17 QB Rankings, Start, Sit — 2024 Fantasy Football Rankings

By: Zach Thompson

This week’s NFL schedule is a unique setup due to a pair of games on the Christmas Day schedule and a Saturday triple-header. The good news, though, is that all 32 NFL teams are in action again, so you’ll have access to your full roster. Many leagues come to a close this week, so it’s critical to get the right starters in your lineup.

In Week 16, Jayden Daniels ($7,300; 36.4 FPTS) was the top QB, as he led his Commanders past the Eagles. Daniels’ fellow rookie Caleb Williams ($5,500; 26.76 FPTS) was also in the top five along with Jared Goff ($6,800; 28.34 FPTS) and Bryce Young ($5,300; 27.1 FPTS).

There will be several important injury situations to monitor this week, headlined by Jalen Hurts, who left that loss to the Commanders with a concussion. Some fun storylines to track during Week 17 include Baker Mayfield against his former team the Panthers, Jared Goff vs. Brock Purdy and Jordan Love and the Packers visiting the Vikings and Sam Darnold.

During Week 17, here are my top 10 QBs to start:

  1. Josh Allen (vs. NYJ)
  2. Jayden Daniels (vs. ATL)
  3. Lamar Jackson (at HOU)
  4. Joe Burrow (vs. DEN)
  5. Bo Nix (at CIN)
  6. Anthony Richardson (at NYG)
  7. Jared Goff (at SF)
  8. Jordan Love (at MIN)
  9. Brock Purdy (vs. DET)
  10. Baker Mayfield (vs. CAR)

These rankings are based on news and information available as of Monday evening. Stay tuned to DraftKings Network throughout the week for ongoing coverage as matchups and situations develop.
