Week 16 Fantasy Football Rankings: Flex (RB/WR/TE)
Week 16 Fantasy Football Rankings: Flex (RB/WR/TE) /

Welcome to Week 16 of the fantasy football season!

This is also the semifinals of the fantasy postseason, so we’re on our way to the ultimate goal … winning a title! As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the Week 16 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, Kyren Williams makes a big move up based on his recent success. Rachaad White has also moved up at the position, and Isiah Pacheco is back for the Chiefs and gets into the top 10 based on a matchup against Las Vegas. Saquon Barkley has a tough matchup in Philadelphia, pushing him out of the top 15. He’ll be a risk-reward No. 2 fantasy running back or flex starter in the NFC East tilt.

At wide receiver, Deebo Samuel has been hot lately and pushes into the top 12 while Rashee Rice is now a low-end No. 1 wideout. Tee Higgins makes a big move up the rankings with Ja’Marr Chase out, and Garrett Wilson is in the top 20 despite a massive stinker last week. Jordan Addison, coming off a big game, is in the top 24.

At tight end, Trey McBride is in the top five after his second straight 20-point game. Isaiah Likely moves into the top eight, and Cole Kmet pushes into the top 10. The fallers include Taysom Hill, who barely saw time last week, as well as Kyle Pitts.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck this week!
