Wild Card Quarterback Value Rankings
Here are theScore's quarterback value rankings for Wild Card Weekend:
Value Rankings
QB | RB | WR | TE
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Kirk Cousins (WAS) | vs. GB | 9 |
| Aaron Rodgers (GB) | at WAS | 7 |
Cousins stands alone at the top of the chart after catching fire late in the season; he should be able to move the ball against the Packers defense. Rodgers has struggled for most of the second half of the season, but has a significantly depressed salary and should at least hit his floor.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Ben Roethlisberger (PIT) | at CIN | 6 |
| Russell Wilson (SEA) | at MIN | 6 |
| AJ McCarron (CIN) | vs. PIT | 5 |
Roethlisberger threw just one touchdown while racking up four interceptions in two games against Cincinnati this season; don't expect him to light it up against the host Bengals this weekend. Wilson is in tough on the road against a stout Minnesota defense, while McCarron has a low floor and ceiling.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Brian Hoyer (HOU) | vs. KC | 4 |
| Alex Smith (KC) | at HOU | 3 |
| Teddy Bridgewater (MIN) | vs. SEA | 2 |
Neither Hoyer nor Smith inspire much confidence in what should be a low-scoring, ground-and-pound game; Hoyer gets a slight edge by virtue of playing at home. Bridgewater showed flashes of potential this season, but won't have any value against the relentless Seahawks.
