Week 16 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season features playoff matchups in just about every league. Managers fortunate enough to make it to this point will likely be playing in a do-or-die matchup this week. This makes it more important than ever to field the best possible lineup. This starts with the quarterbacks, as they are in the highest scoring NFL position in Fantasy Football.

While no NFL team will be on a bye week, Week 16 includes several important changes among starting quarterbacks. Certain backups will move into the starting quarterback role this week as a result of injuries or tactical changes. This can be critical in Fantasy Football, as managers must make sure they have the right quarterbacks in their starting lineups.
