In the NFL no position is more important than the QB. Find out where your favorite team’s QB ranks in the QB Power Rankings for Week 16.

Welcome to FanSided’s weekly NFL QB Power Rankings. Every Wednesday throughout the season you can check out the most up to date rankings for the most important position in the NFL. These power rankings will consist of the 32 current starting QBs. So if a QB is out for any extended time his backup will replace him on the list. So make sure you check in every Wednesday to see where your favorite team’s QB ended up that week.

For anyone that may be checking out these rankings for the first time I use a Power Ranking Scoring System to help set the ranking order. This system scores how each QB is performing this season and then I rank them accordingly. Basically, I am totaling up the following for each QB:

Traditional QB Rating
ESPN’s Total QBR
Pro Football Focus‘ QB Grade
Pro Football Focus’ Accuracy Percentage
The QB’s “Air Yards” Per Completion
The QB’s TD to INT Differential
The QB’s Win to Loss Differential

If you are a “stat head” and want to really see a breakdown of what I did I provided a chart and a more detailed explanation on the last page. (Note: I have adjusted the ranking of some QBs based on a small sample size) For those that just want to see where your favorite team’s QB ranked this week let’s go ahead and get started.
