Week Seventeen Quarterback Rankings

Welcome to the week seventeen quarterback rankings.  We'll be back with the backs, receivers and tight ends later today.  

First off, if you play in a league that plays its bowl game this week, you really need to petition the Commish and get that rule changed.  Way too many key players sit out.  Along those lines, this will be a rough week for Aaron Rodgers (Packers backup Matt Flynn will probably be more valuable) owners and a few other key players that have sketchy situations, like Ben Roethlisberger (injury) and Matt Ryan (playoff logistics.)  

One thing we really want you to do is to check back here next week and check out our playoff league rankings.  If you play in a playoff league or a postseason pool, we have all the key fantasy talent ranked and we'll have downloadable cheat sheets too.  The initial rankings will be released Monday and we'll update them later in the week as the injury situations are ironed out.  

I'l be tweeting injury information on Sunday as usual, so sign up to follow us if you haven't already done so.  And, as usual, I check the forums daily, so feel free to leave any questions you have.  With that, I give you the week seventeen quarterbacks.
