Week 16 Rankings
At wide receiver Odell Beckham is pegged as a top five option this week while we also have QB proof Josh Gordon in our top 10 with the expectation that Johnny Manziel cannot be any worse than he was in week fifteen. Mike Evans is ranked as a WR1 this week with the Bucs expected to be playing from behind and looking for big shots to rookie sensation Mike Evans. Jordan Matthews is ranked as WR2 this week despite the bagel he put up in week fifteen while Kenny Stills maintains his WR2 status in what is expected to be a shootout versus the Falcons.
At running back we currently have Demarco Murray at third overall despite her injury while we have Jeremy Hill at 12th overall despite the tough matchup. Hill has proven that he is one of the most talented running backs in the NFL and withe the Bengals finally using their two backs in the proper fashion both Bengals should be able to produce from a fantasy perspective. We currently have Jonathan Stewart ranked at 19th overall but he may drop a bit depending on the health of Cam Newton. If Newton is still hurting and thus will stay in the pocket more it should mean more touches for Stewart.
At QB we have the elite five up top followed by Ryan, Stafford and Romo in that order. We actually don’t trust Romo much but he has a plus matchup in what is expected to be a shootout against the Colts. RGIII comes in as a top-12 option with the Eagles on the docket and he should be able to give fantasy owners at least QB1 value in week sixteen. Jay Cutler is ranked 15th overall for this week and has the Lions on the docket. Cutler has obvious QB1 upside but is ranked where he is based on his lower floor with Marshall on the shelf.
At tight end we have the usual suspects in our top five and even top ten. Two top ten ranked tight ends that may not be consensus are Jordan Reed who we expect to have a big game versus the Eagles and Kyle Rudolph who finally seems to be rounding into form.
We wont keep you any longer as we know you are ready to see the rankings so without further adieu here are our rankings for week sixteen of the 2014 fantasy football season:
