Week 16 Fantasy Player Rankings / Sports Illustrate

Welcome to Week 16 and the second week of the fantasy football playoffs! If you survived the first round and have advanced, congratulations! Now, let’s go win that league championship!

The NFL schedule no longer has bye weeks, so we’ll get all 32 teams and all our players (at least the healthy ones) who have helped us reach this point in the season. I would also not be afraid to sit a “big name” player who has struggled, like Lamar Jackson, Ashton Jeanty, or even Justin Jefferson, if you have a respectable pivot on your fantasy roster.

The biggest matchups of the week will all have real and fantasy implications, starting with the Rams and Seahawks on Thursday night, and including the Buccaneers and Panthers, the Jaguars and Broncos at Mile High, and the Patriots and Ravens on Sunday night. 

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football player rankings, including my top 100 flex rankings, for Week 16 of the NFL season!  Be sure to check back daily for updates!
