| Rank: | Name: | Opponent: | Note: |
| 1. | Tom Brady | v. ATL | In a potential shootout, Brady should shred a secondary that Cutler found success against |
| 2. | Dak Prescott | v. SF | Great matchup versus SF. Improving DAL passing game and Prescott's running ability a plus. |
| 3. | Drew Brees | @ GB | Improved NO running attack will make the deep plays easier against an injury-plagued secondary. |
| 4. | Kirk Cousins | @ PHI | PHI secondary allowing fourth-most passing yards per game. Division battle should be high scoring. |
| 5. | Matt Ryan | @ NE | Struggling ATL offense gets a "get right' matchup on SNF against NE's league-worst pass defense. |
| 6. | Carson Wentz | v. WAS | An unlikely MVP candidate should put up strong fantasy numbers via the ground & air against WAS. |
| 7. | Marcus Mariota | v. CLE | Risky play who looked to be limited as a runner on MNF, he should still take advantage of bad CLE D. |
| 8. | Cam Newton | @ CHI | Chicago enters with a top-10 pass defense, but Newton's running ability keeps him in top-10. |
| 9. | Russell Wilson | v. NYG | Coming off bye week, Wilson will look to exploit NYG D that allows 10th-msot fantast points to QBs. |
| 10 | Tyrod Taylor | v. TB | Facing TB D allowing fifth-most fantasy points to QBs, Taylor's arm & legs will rack up lots of points. |
| 11. | Alex Smith | @ OAK | Week 6 showed the risk that comes with Smith, but should turn things around vs. terrible Oakland D. |
| 12. | Carson Palmer | v. LAR | If AP's bounce back is real, it will open up the doors for this to become an explosive passing attack. |
| 13. | Ben Roethlisberger | v. CIN | Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell help sustain Big Ben's status as top-15 play v. CIN. |
| 14. | Jared Goff | v. ARZ | Reality set in with Goff's status in fantasy, but bye weeks and injuries sneak him into top-15. |
| 15. | Derek Carr | v. KC | Outside of Marcus Peters, KC's secondary can be exploited. Carr should do enough to be startable. |
| 16. | Jameis Winston | v. BUF | Sprained AC joint clouds Winston's status & potential volume of throws, but still back-end starter |
| 17. | Josh McCown | @ MIA | An exploitable MIA secondary should allow McCown to put up a solid fantasy performance. |
| 18. | Blake Bortles | v. IND | While it's a great matchup, it's difficult to trust Bortles given his play and lack of pass attempts. |
| 19. | Philip Rivers | v. DEN | LAR's increased commitment to running game and tough matchup keep Rivers outside top-15 status. |
| 20. | Andy Dalton | @ PIT | PIT allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to QBs, should create problems for Dalton & CIN OL. |
| 21. | Brett Hundley | v. NO | With quality weapons around him and his rushing ability, Hundley will become a fringe fantasy QB. |
| 22. | Case Keenum | v. BAL | With Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen & Jerick McKinnon, Keenum is a solid 2QB play. |
| 23. | C.J. Beathard | @ DAL | Not a quality play, but Beathard should post a few strong moments in Shanahan's offense w/ Garcon. |
| 24. | Trevor Siemian | @ LAC | Not the QB some saw him as earlier in the year, should be kept on the bench or dropped. |
| 25. | Jay Cutler | v. NYJ | Months off without training have showed, Cutler is not relevant as a fantasy quarterback any week. |
