Fantasy managers fortunate enough to still be alive in the fantasy football playoffs will still have tough start-or-sit-decisions to try to advance. Injuries, role changes, and unexpected breakouts have shifted the rankings as a whole. We're here to help with our our Week 16 fantasy football half-PPR rankings for fantasy football, as of December 22nd. Our goal as always is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players like Jerick McKinnon, DeVonta Smith, Deon Jackson, Zay Jones, and AJ Dillon rank, among others.

Our half-PPR fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.

You should also bookmark our fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates. In addition to these half-PPR rankings, read our fantasy football articles and analysis - our NFL team discusses lineup sleepers, busts, NFL players to start and sit, waiver wire pickups and so much more.

Week 16 Fantasy Football Half-PPR Rankings

You can also check out our Week 16 PPR rankings and Standard rankings. A big congrats to our very own Nick Mariano who once again finished as a top-10 ranker in 2021 across the entire fantasy football industry!

Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This helps to compare running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for FLEX spots (without QB, DEF, K mixed in).
