Week 16 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide Receivers /

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!

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.

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