Nick Mariano's fantasy football playoff rankings for Week 16 at QB, RB, WR, TE, D/ST (2023). Set winning lineups with our Week 16 rankings for fantasy football.
Hey, RotoBallers! Week 16 has arrived. The final four of the fantasy football playoffs are officially here. Fantasy managers have worked very hard to get to this point, and we here at RotoBaller have been with you every step of the way during the 2023 season. It's time to set those winning lineups and advance to the fantasy championship game by using our fantasy football rankings for Week 16 of the fantasy football season.
There are plenty of questions to address heading into Week 16. Will Tyreek Hill (ankle) play against the Dallas Cowboys after being held out in last Sunday's game versus the New York Jets? Will Josh Jacobs (quad), Chris Olave (ankle) and Keenan Allen (heel) return after a one-game absence? Can Bijan Robinson and Derrick Henry bounce back this week after struggling mightily in Week 15? Find out where RotoBaller has Henry, Robinson, and other key fantasy options, such as Kyren Williams, Ty Chandler, Noah Brown, Puka Nacua, Gus Edwards, Devin Singletary, and Tyler Boyd in Week 16.
Our fantasy football rankings for Week 16 are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always crucial injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.
