Week 16 Fantasy Rankings: Eli Manning and QBs Who Will Struggle

It's Week 16 in the real world, which means it's championship time in your fantasy league.

If, like me, you were lucky enough to survive a wild regular season, then you are a few days away from bragging rights and perhaps a wad of cash.

Unfortunately, if you have one of these three quarterbacks, your pride and your wallet may be in trouble. I'd be wary of starting the following signal-callers.

Eli Manning

For the most part, Manning has been killing it this season. He's third in the NFL in passing yards, seventh in touchdowns and ninth in completion percentage.

However, he's coming off his worst game of the season and will face the stingy Jets pass defense on Saturday.

The Jets have only allowed 13 passing touchdowns this season, which is second-best in the NFL. They're also seventh in passing yards allowed, giving up just 205 per game.

It will be hard to sit Manning based on his performance this season, but you may have to. If you have another solid option at QB, put Eli on the bench.

Joe Flacco

Flacco has been inconsistent all season and has a tough matchup against the Cleveland Browns this week.

The Browns are third in passing yards allowed (188.4 per game) and have only given up 14 touchdowns on the season.

Flacco is a decent option in the regular season, but you don't want to rely on him in a championship week.

I'd definitely sit Flacco on Saturday.

Andy Dalton

The redheaded rookie was magical earlier this season, but he's sputtered down the stretch.

He's failed to break 200 yards and has thrown for just two total touchdowns in his last three games.

This week, he faces a Cardinals defense that's tied for third in passing touchdowns allowed. It may be tempting to ride the rookie, but he's not leading you to a title this season.
