What is up? It's the rant. It's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackleff, and it is Wednesday, December 22nd. Coming at you a little bit later today.

I had a lot of updates to do today.

Normally I don't have to do projections and rankings on a football Wednesday, but you know what?

Good things come to those who wait, and good work does take time.

So we're going to dive into rankings for you, kind of hopefully

getting things back to normal a little bit. And I say a little bit because COVID may have

different plans for us this week, but we'll talk about all that as we go through the rankings.

I think we're, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Let's just put it that way. There's going to be a couple situations where I think we're good. There's a couple situations where I do not think we are good. But anyway, let's dive into it. Quarterback rankings for you. I've been saying all season long, if you have a bunch of these guys, I think you're good. But a few of these names do give us a little bit of pause this week,

so here it is. At the top, I have Justin Herbert, great matchup, easy-peasy, Patrick Mahomes

at two. Yeah, too. I think Tyree Kill's going to be back. I absolutely think Travis Kelsey's

going to be back, but I'll get into those guys in a minute. I think he's going to be fine here. And Patrick Mahomes obviously has that enormous ceiling. Josh Allen. Then Aaron Rogers at four. Aaron Rogers has been playing elite football, really over his last four games. I mean, well, over his career, but especially over these last four games, he's been awesome.

Kyler Murray at 5, I get why you might be a little bit concerned, but I'm not going to get too cute this week. Hey, man, I just went through it. I had a tough loss in a home league. I know you

want to squeeze every single point out of your lineup to avoid those tough losses, but not making the smart play

is not smart. I mean, it's as simple as that. So anyway, Jalen Hertz at six, Maddie Stafford

sliding in at seven, and then Tom Brady at eight. Now, Brady will be without Chris Godwin. It looks like he will have

Antonio Brown back. That was a little bit of a surprise. Might have Mike Evans, but even if he doesn't,

I think he's still fine to start as a top 10 option. Dak Prescott's back sliding down to

nine. I realize why you might be reluctant to use him. I'm still going to use him over the likes of Kirk

Cousins. You can tell how excited I am about that. Russell Wilson, guys like that,

probably wouldn't have that decision, but maybe you had Kirk Cousins or Joe Burrow. I'm still

going to use him ahead of him. I know. Lamar Jackson, if he is good, I will put him at 10. If he is not good, I'm going to put Tyler Huntley right around here. I might have Tyler Huntley, to be honest with you, at 11 behind Taysam Hill. We'll adjust as we go through the week. Lamar did not practice today. And why I have him lower is because the ankle, if he does play, the ankle is going to affect him and limit what he

can do. Tassam Hill is the next man up at 11. Joe Burrow at 12 and then Kirk Cousins at 13.
