The Seattle Seahawks are going to be dangerous in the playoffs, and it’s largely because Russell Wilson can be the difference in January.

This week, and every Tuesday of the season, the rankings are based with a combination of current play and performance of an indicator of what is to come.

Jim Druckenmiller Division

32. Cody Kessler (LW: 32)

Kessler has no business in the NFL. He might be a great guy, might even be a heady player, but his game doesn’t translate to anything but defeats in this league.

31. Josh Johnson (LW: 31)

Johnson is the fourth starting quarterback for the Redskins. He’s playing like it. With the uncertainty surrounding Alex Smith’s future, it’ll be an interesting offseason in Washington.

30. Taylor Heinicke (LW: NA)

Heinicke is going to finish out the Panthers season on Sunday against New Orleans. Against the Saints reserves, maybe he can get his first career win.
