If you’re glancing at the rankings it means you’ve made it this far. Hopefully the Week 16 rankings can help you make a choice in what is championship week for you. The one piece of advice I’d give this week is to play it safe, look for solid safe floors. Good luck! I’ve highlighted a few players I feel differently about when it comes to the consensus on FantasyPros. If you have any questions you can always reach out – @chrismeaney. Good luck!

Week 16 Rankings
Josh Allen @ NE
I know it’s in New England, but this Patriots defense isn’t great. Josh Allen has four passing touchdowns with four interceptions in his last four weeks and he’s still QB1 over that time. He’ll continue to run the football and he may just be the fantasy MVP of these playoffs. I’m rolling him out in a finals, you should too.
Jaylen Samuels @ NO
The Saints are a tough team to run on and it sounds like JuJu Smith-Schuster may miss this game. I think that will mean a lot of passes from Big Ben, which is great for Samuels outlook.
Tim Patrick @ OAK
Tim Patrick has 18 targets, 12 catches and 150 yards in his last two games. I feel better about him and DaeSean Hamilton in PPR formats than I do Courtland Sutton. Don’t ignore the volume.
