Bo Nix or Kyler Murray or Justin Herbert: Who should I start in Week 16 Fantasy Football?

Picking the right quarterbacks during the fantasy football playoffs can be the difference between advancing and being eliminated. They are often among the highest-scoring players each week, so managers must make sure to start the best options. For those deciding between Bo Nix, Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert in Week 16, here's which one is the best pick.

Is Bo Nix a good fantasy pick in Week 16?

Bo Nix fantasy outlook

Bo Nix is having a strong 2024 fantasy football season with the Denver Broncos, currently ranking as the overall QB9 this year. He has been one of the most impressive rookies this season and has finished among the top 15 weekly quarterbacks nine times in 14 games.

He will get Week 16 started on Thursday Night Football when he takes on the Los Angeles Chargers. They have been one of the best overall defenses in the NFL this year, which negatively impacts his fantasy outlook.

Is Kyler Murray a good fantasy pick in Week 16?

Kyler Murray fantasy outlook

Kyler Murray has been a bit inconsistent for the Arizona Cardinals this year, but he has flashed his fantasy football upside in the right situations. This includes finishing among the top five weekly quarterbacks four times on his way to being ranked as the QB11 overall.

He will have an ideal matchup this week to potentially turn in another strong performance against the Carolina Panthers. Their defense has been one of the worst in the NFL by many different measures, giving Murray an intriguing ceiling.

Is Justin Herbert a good fantasy pick in Week 16?

Justin Herbert fantasy outlook

Justin Herbert has seen his fantasy football value fluctuate during the 2024 season so far with the Los Angeles Chargers. He got off to a slow start to the year in his first six games before rattling off five consecutive weekly finishes as the QB12 or better.

The issue with Herbert this week is that he has finished as the QB17 or worse in each of his past three games entering a brutal matchup. The Denver Broncos' elite defense will be challenging to put up big numers against in the opening game of the Week 16 slate.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool

Kyler Murray is the recommended quarterback to use in Week 16 fantasy football lineups over Bo Nix and Justin Herbert. He has a far superior matchup than the other two options this week, which heavily contributes to him being the best pick.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Murray's rushing projections will be enough to give him an overall edge in his weekly fantasy score. Despite being expected to record the fewest passing yards of the trio, he is still the preferred Week 16 starter.
