Week 16 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Ashton Jeanty Falls Out Of Top 15

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” running back who has struggled, like Ashton Jeanty or Omarion Hampton, if you have a respectable pivot on your fantasy roster.

This week’s biggest running back ranking risers are TreVeyon Henderson, Rico Dowdle, and Aaron Jones Sr., all of whom have great matchups or are playing at an exceeding high level lately. On the flip side, backs like Jeanty, Hampton and Jaylen Warren have either seen their fantasy stats decline in recent weeks or could struggle against a tough opponent.

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