Fantasy football WR, TE rankings Week 16: Rashee Rice rolling, Tee Higgins high, Vikings love
12/21/23 • 37 min
Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk take a deep dive into their wide receiver and tight end rankings to settle on the best and worst plays of Week 16 based on the matchups and figure out what players to trust in your seasonal playoff lineups. At WR, Rashee Rice has gone from a sleeper to a must-play from the Chiefs against the Raiders, while Tee Higgins can eat for the Bengals vs. the Steelers with no Ja'Marr Chase. Plus there's good reason to like both Vikings, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, with Nick Mullens at QB vs. the Lions. Plus at tight end, Vinnie and Michelle are higher than ever on the Cardinals' Trey McBride, but they both aren't feeling the 49ers' George Kittle as much this week vs. the Ravens.

Fantasy football RB, QB rankings Week 16: Trust again in Ezekiel Elliott, Bijan Robinson; Tua vs. Dak
Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk take a deep dive into their running back and quarterback rankings to settle on the best and worst plays of Week 16 based on the matchups and figure out what players to trust in your seasonal playoff lineups. At running back, the Patriots' Ezekiel Elliott and the Falcons' Bijan Robinson should rebound with better usage in favorable spots this week, while Aaron Jones, Isiah Pacheco and Derrick Henry also are positioned to produce well. At quarterback, Justin Fields steps into a smash spot at home vs. the Bears and there's hope for Tua Tagovailoa and Dak Prescott in the same Dolphins-Cowboys matchup.
