With the fantasy playoffs underway, it is important to always think twice before setting your final lineup and examine all aspects of their outcome.
In this piece, we will look at three wide receivers who have a wide range of outcomes due to their quarterback play. Drake London will be catching passes from Michael Penix Jr. in his professional debut, DJ Moore from a struggling Caleb Williams, and Calvin Ridley from a newly promoted Mason Rudolph.
Should these wide receivers be in our lineup in Week 16?
Should I Start Drake London for Fantasy Football?
Drake London has enjoyed the best season of his professional career with Kirk Cousins under center. Through 14 games, the former first-round selection has averaged 15.3 PPR points per game while tallying 5.6 receptions, and 65.6 yards per game with seven touchdowns.

However, on Sunday, he will instead be catching passes from rookie Michael Penix Jr. While London does carry some inherent risk with a new QB, fantasy managers should still continue view him as a solid WR2 in all formats. Despite facing a New York Giants secondary that has allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points to opposing wide receivers this season, London should remain a lineup lock given his high target share and nose for the end zone.
Should I Start DJ Moore for Fantasy Football?
After failing to eclipse double-digit PPR points during Weeks 6 through 10, Moore has been able to accomplish this feat in the past five contests. During this span, he has averaged a solid 72.0 yards per game a significant increase to the 26.0 yards her averaged during his cold stretch earlier this season.

Last week, Moore brought in all eight of his targets for 46 yards. Even though Caleb Williams has struggled at times, Moore continues to see a high target share (9.2 per game since Week 11) which gives him a high WR2 floor in PPR formats. However, managers in standard formats should view him as a flex option as he has not eclipsed 50.0 receiving yards in each of his past two games.
Should I Start Calvin Ridley for Fantasy Football?
Calvin Ridley is coming off his worst outing of the season where he tallied just 41 yards on three receptions. He was targeted five times. Ridley has seen unstable production from his quarterbacks all season which has clearly limited not only his weekly ceiling but also his floor which makes him tough to trust, especially in the fantasy playoffs.

Mason Rudolph is expected to get the start this weekend after replacing Levis during last Sunday's loss. In Rudolph's previous three games (Weeks 7 through 9) he targeted Ridley quite often at a 10.7 targets per game mark. During this span, Ridley averaged 86.0 yards per game. Even though he carries a wide range of outcomes he is a viable flex option in PPR formats facing the Indianapolis Colts.
