Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 16 PPR Rankings
|
1.
Puka Nacua
LAR (at SEA)
Who needs touchdowns when you are getting 11 targets and over 160 yards in each of the last two games? With his only game below 10 fantasy points being the game he didn't finish, Puka is one of the rare elite receivers who has a locked-in floor with huge upside. Coming off weeks of WR1 and WR2 finishes, fantasy managers should feel great going into the playoffs. Having said that, Puka left late last week with an injury. Unfortunately, the Rams have a short week before taking on the Seahawks on Thursday Night. If Puka plays, he is a locked-in WR1 even in a tough matchup. However, managers should have a contingency plan in case he is ruled out.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba
SEA (vs . LAR)
For the ninth time this season, JSN cracked 100 yards in a game. In fact, he has 12 games with more than 90 yards. Wild. In what has been one of the best receiver seasons of the decade, JSn continues to find ways to be a league winner. This week, the Seahawks have a very important game against the Rams on Thursday Night. With the Rams potentially missing both Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, it will be an interesting defensive battle. On the season, the Rams are allowing the 10th most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. They'll likely have a plan to try and slow down JSN, but the last time they met, he still had nine catches for 105 yards.

3.
Ja'Marr Chase
CIN (at MIA)
The Bengals were shut out last week, but Ja'Marr Chase still did Ja'Marr Chase things. Finishing with 10 receptions on 16 targets for 132 yards is yet another great performance for the star wideout. To make things even better, Chase has the Dolphins and Cardinals coming up over the next two weeks. Although the Dolphins have been league average against the receiver position, they lack the individual talent to stop Chase. With Tee Higgins potentially missing another game with a concussion, Chase could go nuclear to close out this fantasy season.

DET (vs . PIT)

5.
CeeDee Lamb
DAL (vs . LAC)
Back from his concussion in Week 14, Lamb casually put up his third straight 110+ yard performance. With at least six receptions in each of his last three games, Lamb is one of the steadiest receivers heading into the fantasy playoffs. Unfortunately, the Cowboys take on a Chargers' team that has been the best defense against opposing wide receivers all season. Averaging the fewest fantasy points per game at the position, even the high-flying Cowboys may have trouble moving the ball through the air. Either way, coming off a tough loss to the Vikings, the Cowboys' defense will force Dak Prescott to throw to keep them in the game. As a result, he may have a lower ceiling than usual, but Lamb is still a fantasy stalwart this week.

6.
Nico Collins
HOU (vs . LV)
Despite being held to three catches, Collins came through for fantasy managers. On the opening drive, he took a 51-yard reception to the house, and later scored in garbage time to finish with 85 yards and two scores on the day. The Texans have been rolling, and with their elite defense, as long as Stroud continues to play turnover-free ball, they could make a run. On offense, they rely heavily on Collins and some semblance of running game. With three straght weeks finising as the WR14 or better, Collins now faces an abysmal Raiders secondary. The only concern is that the Texans' defense will swarm the Raiders' offense. In fact, the Texans' defense could probably win this game without their offense taking a single snap. As a result, there is a world where targets are at a premium once again. However, if they need to move the chains, Collins will be the g- to target.
