The stakes couldn’t be higher: one win away from the championship game, and every lineup decision matters more than ever. With injuries, emerging trends, and tough matchups shaping the path to victory, this is the week to make smart, calculated moves. In this report, we’ll break down wide receivers primed for big performances and cornerbacks ready to shut things down, while spotlighting key trends to help you separate signal from noise. Plus, I’ll share my Week Sixteen WR rankings so you can see how these matchups translate into fantasy value. Let’s lock in those winning lineups and take one step closer to the title.

   
Left WR vs Right CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marvin HarrisonARI12.5 / 10.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike HughesATLSafe
Marvin Harrison ended up missing a second consecutive game due to a heel injury last week but was limited in the team walkthrough to begin this week. Harrison’s status will need to be monitored into the weekend, but it’s important to remember that the last time he returned from a two-week absence earlier this season he immediately stepped back into 7 targets. Atlanta’s secondary has been a punching bag for offenses over the last 5 weeks, so Harrison could be a fantasy producer this week given the pass-happy offense that Arizona has been since Jacoby Brissett took over at QB.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
David SillsATL2.9 / 3.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Will JohnsonARISafe
David Sills had easily his most productive game of the season last week, finishing with 6 receptions for 78 yards on 10 targets. Sills was the leading WR for the Falcons with Drake London out and was the 3rd option in the passing game behind TE Kyle Pitts and RB Bijan Robinson. Sills should be completely disregarded if Drake London ends up returning to the field this week, but he could be a desperation dart throw for needy fantasy teams if London is out once again. If London doesn’t play this week, I’ll likely have Sills just outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rashod BatemanBAL4.9 / 4.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Carlton DavisNEModerate
Rashod Bateman ended up missing the Ravens game last week due to an ankle injury but has been a full participant to start the week and is expected to return in Week 16 against New England. While it’s encouraging to see Bateman healthy, fantasy managers should continue to avoid the WR2 for the Ravens regardless of who it is. Bateman hasn’t had a game with more than 2 receptions since Week 3.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brandin CooksBUF2.9 / 2.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tyson CampbellCLESafe
I know it’s a weird thing to say with one of the best QBs in the NFL running the offense, but there’s not a single Bills WR I feel like fantasy managers can trust despite Josh Allen being the one throwing the football. Brandin Cooks is no exception, who saw 3 targets last week but finished without a reception. Fantasy managers should avoid Cooks despite the plus matchup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tetairoa McMillanCAR13.3 / 11.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jamel DeanTBRisky
Tetairoa McMillan finished Week 15 tied with a team-high 4 targets but managed just 2 receptions for 25 yards. After a mostly productive rookie season, McMillan has hit somewhat of a wall recently due to the struggles surrounding the Panthers passing offense. McMillan has had 2 receptions or less in 3 straight games and wasn’t able to score a touchdown this week which is what had been bailing out fantasy managers the previous two weeks. Jamel Dean is a tough assignment for any WR, but the Tampa Bay secondary as a whole has been beatable recently. I’ve got McMillan just outside of my top 15 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DJ MooreCHI10.4 / 8.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Carrington ValentineGBModerate
DJ Moore had an impressive outing last week against Cleveland, finishing with 4 receptions for 69 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets. This was the first time Moore found the end zone since Week 12, which was also the last time he finished with more than 2 receptions in a game as well. Moore has been extremely boom-or-bust for the majority of the season, and things could get more complicated if Rome Odunze ends up making his return to the field this week. Assuming either Odunze or Burden misses this week, I’ll have Moore just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Ja'Marr ChaseCIN20.3 / 16.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jack JonesMIAModerate
It was a down week for the Bengals passing offense as a whole, but Ja'Marr Chase still managed to finish with 10 receptions for 132 yards on 16 targets. Chase remains a must start regardless of matchup and is a top 3 WR for me in Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jerry JeudyCLE7.4 / 5.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Maxwell HairstonBUFModerate
After a solid outing in Week 14, the Browns passing offense and Jerry Jeudy came back down-to-Earth last week. Jeudy finished with 2 receptions for 22 yards on 4 targets, and has now been held under 40 receiving yards in 4 of the last 5 games. Hopefully fantasy managers have been options for their Week 16 matchup, because Buffalo has been a difficult matchup for WRs recently. I’ll have Jeudy outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
George PickensDAL18.9 / 16
CornerbackOppMatchup
Donte JacksonLACRisky
George Pickens has found himself in somewhat of a slump at the worst possible time for fantasy managers, being held under 40 yards in back-to-back games. Pickens has still seen 15 targets over the last two weeks, but the production just hasn’t been there. Things won’t get any easier this week against a stingy Chargers secondary but he’s still a top 15 WR for me this week based on the volume he’s seeing and the talent he possesses to put up a big game on any given week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Courtland SuttonDEN14 / 11.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Greg NewsomeJACSafe
Courtland Sutton had another solid outing in Week 15 finishing with 7 receptions for 113 yards and a TD on 10 targets. Sutton has now had double digit targets in back-to-back weeks for the first time this season and finished with more than 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 3. It seems like Sutton is getting hot at just the right time and has another solid matchup ahead of him this week. I’ve got Sutton as a top 20 WR for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jameson WilliamsDET14.3 / 12.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Joey PorterPITModerate
Jameson Williams had yet another impressive outing in Week 15, finishing with 7 receptions for 134 yards and a TD on 10 targets. Williams has now seen 9+ targets in three straight weeks and has been over 85 receiving yards in 5 out of his last 6 games. Williams is a must start option at this point and is a top 10 WR for me in Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Romeo DoubsGB9.8 / 8.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nahshon WrightCHISafe
Romeo Doubs finished with just 2 receptions for 36 yards on 3 targets in Week 15 and has finished with less than 50 receiving yards in 4 straight games. After starting the season off strong, Doubs is at a point where fantasy managers should be doing their best to keep him out of their lineup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Nico CollinsHOU16.7 / 14.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darien PorterLVModerate
Nico Collins came through for fantasy managers yet again last week to the tune of 3 receptions for 85 yards and two TDs on 4 targets. The 4 targets were his lowest mark since Week 12, but luckily, he made the most out of the targets he saw. Collins remains a must-start and is a top 5 WR for me in Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Alec PierceIND11 / 9.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Renardo GreenSFModerate
It was reasonable to expect Alec Pierce to be most effected by Philip Rivers taking over at QB given how crucial the downfield game is for Pierce’s production and he really struggled in Rivers’ first start, with just 1 reception for 16 yards on his lone target. Pierce is outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brian ThomasJAC10.8 / 9.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Pat SurtainDENRisky
Brian Thomas finished tied for the team lead with 7 targets and finished with 4 receptions for 66 yards and a TD. This was the first time BTJ found the end zone since Week 6, and he’s now seen 6+ targets in back-to-back games and appears to be fully integrated back into the Jaguars offense after returning from injury back in Week 13. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, BTJ has one of the toughest matchups in the NFL against Pat Surtain and the Broncos secondary just as he was starting to find his groove. I’ve got BTJ just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marquise BrownKC9.3 / 7.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kaiir ElamTENSafe
Marquise Brown missed the Chiefs Week 15 matchup due to a personal matter but is expected to play in Week 16. Brown was already someone to avoid when Patrick Mahomes was healthy, so fantasy managers should stay far away now that Mahomes is out for the season.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tre TuckerLV10 / 8.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kamari LassiterHOURisky
Tre Tucker was held without a catch in Week 15 despite being targeted 3 times. Tucker was a difficult player to start even in the best of matchups, so he’s someone that should be avoided against this tough Texans secondary.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tre' HarrisLAC3.8 / 3.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Shavon RevelDALSafe
Tre’ Harris saw an increased role with Quentin Johnston inactive and finished with 3 receptions for 49 yards on 5 targets. Although it’s good to see the rookie getting some run, he shouldn’t be anything more than a DFS dart throw this week. The matchup is great but he’s likely the 3rd option at best in the passing offense this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Konata MumpfieldLAR1.1 / 1.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Riq WoolenSEARisky
Konata Mumpfield is expected to step into a larger role in the Rams offense in Week 16 as the WR2 with Davante Adams expected to miss the Week 16 matchup against the Seahawks due to an injury. Despite the increased role, I would avoid Mumpfield given the matchup and the fact that targets will likely be pretty spread out behind Puka Nacua.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaylen WaddleMIA13.2 / 11.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
DJ TurnerCINRisky
Jaylen Waddle had a disappointing outing in Week 15 with just 2 receptions for 26 yards on 4 targets. Things won’t get any easier this week with a matchup against the Bengals and standout CB DJ Turner and backup QB Quinn Ewers getting the start for Week 16. I’ve got Waddle just inside my top 24 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Justin JeffersonMIN12 / 9.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cordale FlottNYGModerate
The struggles continued for Justin Jefferson in Week 15, who finished with just 2 receptions for 22 yards despite being targeted 8 times in a plus matchup against the Cowboys. Jefferson has been held to two receptions in three straight games but he has yet another plus matchup in front of him this week against the Giants. Despite the rough stretch, I’ve got Jefferson as a top 20 WR for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Kayshon BoutteNE10 / 8.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nate WigginsBALModerate
Kayshon Boutte caught his only target for 30 receiving yards in Week 15. Boutte has been targeted just 8 times over the last 3 weeks but is still the best field stretching option in this offense. I’ve got Boutte just inside my top 45 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mason TiptonNO1 / 1.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Brandon STephensNYJModerate
Mason Tipton finished with just 1 reception for 5 yards on 2 targets and has yet to top 25 receiving yards in a game this season. Tipton should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Darius SlaytonNYG7.5 / 6.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Isaiah RodgersMINSafe
Darius Slayton had a season-high 10 targets in Week 15 and finished with 4 receptions for 53 yards. You would have liked to see more production with the target volume Slayton saw, but the target volume is encouraging nonetheless. Slayton could be a high-upside flex option this week and is just inside my top 45 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Adonai MitchellNYJ6.1 / 5.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kool-Aid McKinstryNOSafe
Adonai Mitchell was targeted 9 times in Week 15 and finished with 6 receptions for 58 yards and a TD in Week 15. Mitchell has seen 6+ targets in every game since being traded to the Jets, but his production has been up and down. It’s a good matchup for Mitchell this week, who is a top 35 WR for me in Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
A.J. BrownPHI15.8 / 13.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Antonio HamiltonWASSafe
A.J. Brown had been on a heater the previous three games, but finished with just 2 receptions for 41 yards on 2 targets. Brown did score a touchdown which saved his day for fantasy managers, but he has a chance to get back on track in Week 16 with a plus matchup against the Commanders secondary on tap. I’ve got Brown as a top 10 WR for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DK MetcalfPIT13.2 / 11.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Rock Ya-SinDETSafe
DK Metcalf was the Steelers most productive WR in Week 15, but that’s not saying much considering he finished with just 3 receptions for 55 yards on 3 targets. He saved his day with a touchdown, but his production has been very up and down this season. The matchup is a good one against the Lions, so I’ve got Metcalf as a top 15 WR for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jauan JenningsSF11.4 / 9.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Johnathan EdwardsINDSafe
Jauan Jennings was targeted 5 times in Week 15 and finished with 3 receptions for 37 yards. The good news for fantasy managers is that 2 of Jennings’ 3 receptions ended with him scoring a touchdown. Jennings has now scored in 4 of his last 5 games and could see even more volume this week with Ricky Pearsall expected to miss the game.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaSEA23.8 / 20.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Emmanuel ForbesLARModerate
Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to do JSN things, with 7 receptions for 113 yards on 9 targets. JSN is a must start regardless of matchup on a weekly basis. I’ve got him as a top 5 WR for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mike EvansTB11.2 / 9.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaycee HornCARModerate
Mike Evans wasted no time getting back to being the WR1 for the Buccaneers, finishing with 6 receptions for 132 yards on 12 targets in his first game action since Week 7. Evans is right back in must-start territory for me and is a top 10 WR this week against Carolina.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Van JeffersonTEN4.1 / 3.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nohl WilliamsKCModerate
Van Jefferson was tied for the most targets among Titans WRs in Week 15 but finished with just 1 reception for 43 yards. Jefferson hasn’t been a trust worthy fantasy option even in the best of matchups, so he should be avoided this week against the Chiefs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Terry McLaurinWAS12.1 / 10.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Adoree' JacksonPHISafe
Terry McLaurin was targeted 4 times and finished with 3 receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown in Week 15. The matchup isn’t quite as easy this week against the Eagles, but McLaurin has been the #1 option in this offense since he returned from injury back in Week 13. I’ve got McLaurin just inside my top 24 WRs for Week 16.
   
   
Right WR vs Left CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Michael WilsonARI12.5 / 10.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
A.J. TerrellATLModerate
Michael Wilson had another solid fantasy outing in Week 15, finishing with 5 receptions for 54 yards and a TD on 11 targets. Wilson has now had double digit targets in 4 of the last 5 weeks and is a must-start again this week against Atlanta assuming Marvin Harrison misses once again this week. If Harrison is active, that will lower Wilson’s upside, but I would understand if you didn’t want to bench him completely given the matchup and how great he’s been for your fantasy team down the stretch. Wilson will be a top 10 WR for me this week if Harrison is inactive.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Drake LondonATL21.4 / 18
CornerbackOppMatchup
Denzel BurkeARIModerate
Drake London ended up missing a 4th straight game last week due to a knee injury but was a limited participant in practice to start the week for the Falcons and has a shot to return to action in Week 16. London will be right back in must-start territory for me if he’s active, as someone that hasn’t seen less than 8 targets in a game he’s been active for since back in Week 2.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Zay FlowersBAL13.4 / 10.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian GonzalezNERisky
If I told you that Lamar Jackson only completed 8 passes, it would be a safe assumption that Zay Flowers had a bad game, but he found a way to be productive with 3 receptions for 68 yards and a TD on 5 targets. Flowers continues to be the only Ravens WR that fantasy managers can trust on a week-to-week basis. It’s another difficult matchup for the Ravens WR, but I’ve got Flowers inside my top 20 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Joshua PalmerBUF5.3 / 4.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Denzel WardCLESafe
Joshua Palmer made his return to the lineup after a two week absence and finished with 1 reception for 16 yards on 2 targets. Someone is likely to end up with a good fantasy day in this game given the plus matchup, but good luck trying to guess who that is. Even slot WR Khalil Shakir, who had been the dependable WR for the majority of the year, has been more up-and-down recently. If I have to start a Bills WR this week, it’s still Khalil Shakir.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier LegetteCAR6.7 / 5.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kindle VildorTBSafe
Xavier Legette saw 3 targets in Week 15 and finished with 2 receptions for 39 yards. The struggles for Legette continue, as he hasn’t had more than 40 receiving yards in a game since Week 11. Legette is now the 3rd option at best in the Panthers offense with Jalen Coker now looking fully healthy and integrated back into the offense. I’ve got Legette outside of my top 60 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rome OdunzeCHI12.7 / 10.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Keisean NixonGBModerate
The expectation was that Rome Odunze would return from a foot injury last week, but he was a surprise last minute inactive right before kickoff. Odunze has not participated in practice to begin the week, but there’s at least a chance he plays in Week 16 against the Packers considering how close he was to being active last week. It’ll be tough to trust Odunze if he’s active given the back-and-forth with this foot injury, but he had at least 6 targets in 4 straight games before sustaining the injury.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tee HigginsCIN14.3 / 12.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Rasul DouglasMIAModerate
Tee Higgins ended up missing last week’s matchup against the Ravens due to a concussion but has been a limited participant in practice to begin the week and is trending toward clearing concussion protocol prior to the Bengals Week 16 matchup with the Dolphins. Higgins is a must start if he’s active, but his status will need to be monitored going into the weekend.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Cedric TillmanCLE5 / 4.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tre'Davious WhiteBUFRisky
Cedric Tillman finished without a target in Week 15 and played just 12% of snaps. Tillman should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Ryan FlournoyDAL7 / 7.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cam HartLACModerate
Ryan Flournoy put up a solid game last week finishing with 4 receptions for 40 yards on 5 targets. Although fantasy managers can’t really trust him with everyone healthy, if one of CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens were to have to miss a game for any reason, Flournoy would be in play as a solid flex option or WR3 for your fantasy teams. With both Lamb and Pickens set to play in Week 16, fantasy managers should avoid Flournoy this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Troy FranklinDEN11.6 / 9.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Montaric BrownJACModerate
Just as things were starting to trend in the wrong direction for Troy Franklin, teammate Pat Bryant ended up inactive last week and Franklin took advantage to the tune of 6 receptions for 85 yards and a TD on 6 targets. Franklin still only played 50% of the snaps, but that was almost double the amount of snaps he played the previous week. Franklin could be a flex option again this week if Bryant is once again inactive, but fantasy managers should approach with caution on this one. I’ve got Franklin just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Isaac TeSlaaDET3.1 / 3.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Asante SamuelPITModerate
Isaac TeSlaa finished without a catch and was targeted just once in Week 15. TeSlaa should be avoided by fantasy managers in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Christian WatsonGB13.3 / 11.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylon JohnsonCHIModerate
Christian Watson finished with 3 receptions for 29 yards on 5 targets after leaving the game early due to an injury. Watson’s status for this week is up in the air, but he’s been practicing to start the week. Watson will remain a solid WR2 or flex option with upside if active.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jayden HigginsHOU7.1 / 5.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Eric StokesLVModerate
It was a disappointing outing for rookie Jayden Higgins in Week 15, who had just 1 reception for 4 yards on 1 target. This was the first game Higgins saw less than 5 targets since Week 9, but he still played over 70% of snaps and was operating as the Texans WR2 as he’s been doing for most of the second half of the season. Higgins remains a WR3 or flex option and is just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Michael PittmanIND13.7 / 11.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Deommodore LenoirSFModerate
The domino effect of the injury to QB Daniel Jones didn’t take long to show up for Colts WRs and Michael Pittman was no exception. Pittman finished with just 3 receptions for 26 yards on 5 targets. It was a tough matchup against the Seahawks, but it’s going to be tough to depend on any Colts WR even in a good matchup given the current state of the QB position. Pittman is just inside my top 35 WRs due to his expected target volume, but I wouldn’t expect much upside from him moving forward.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jakobi MeyersJAC11.5 / 9.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Riley MossDENRisky
Jakobi Meyers was once again the leading receiver for the Jags in Week 15, finishing with 5 receptions for 71 yards on 7 targets. Meyers has seen 6+ targets and had at least 4 receptions in every game since Week 11. It’s a tough matchup this week against Denver, but I’ve got Jakobi just inside my top 24 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier WorthyKC8.6 / 7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darrell BakerTENSafe
Xavier Worthy finished with 2 receptions for 35 yards on 4 targets in Week 15. It had already been a struggle for Worthy fantasy managers since Rashee Rice returned to the team, but now that this offense is without Patrick Mahomes, Worthy is almost unplayable. I’ve got Worthy just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jack BechLV2.6 / 2.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Derek StingleyHOURisky
Jack Bech was targeted 3 times last week and finished with 2 receptions for 17 yards. Bech has went over 30 receiving yards just one time this season and should be avoided in all formats in this weeks matchup against Houston.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Keenan AllenLAC11.6 / 9.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
DaRon BlandDALSafe
Keenan Allen finished with 5 receptions for 36 yards on 7 targets and continues to be a touchdown dependent fantasy asset. He’s got as good of a chance as any to find the end zone this week, so Allen is just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Puka NacuaLAR23.3 / 19.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Josh JobeSEARisky
It was another day at the office for Puka Nacua in Week 15 who finished with 9 receptions for 181 yards on 11 targets. Puka remains a must-start every week, even more so this week with Davante Adams expected to miss the game. I’ve got Puka as my overall WR1 for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-IkhineMIA1.4 / 1.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Daxton HillCINRisky
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-Ikhine finished was targeted just once and finished without a catch in Week 15. Westbrook-Ikhine hasn’t had a reception since Week 10 and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jordan AddisonMIN11.1 / 9.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Paulson AdeboNYGSafe
Jordan Addison caught both of his targets for 66 yards in Week 15. This was only the 2nd time since Week 10 that Addison has had less than 7 targets in a game, but the Vikings passing offense has been difficult to trust despite the string of plus matchups, which continues again this week against the Giants. I’ve got Addison just inside my top 35 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mack HollinsNE7.3 / 6.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Chidobe AwuzieBALModerate
Mack Hollins was targeted 8 times in Week 15 and finished with 4 receptions for 41 yards. The high target total was encouraging, but tough to trust considering it was the first time he’s seen at least 8 targets since Week 10. With Maye’s tendency to spread the ball around, Hollins is tough to bank on for your fantasy team. I’ve got Hollins just inside my top 50 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Devaughn VeleNO5.1 / 6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Qwan'tez StiggersNYJModerate
Devaughn Vele finished with 5 receptions for 69 yards on 6 targets in Week 15 and has now had 5+ targets in 4 straight games. He could be a solid deep league flex if active, but is in danger of missing Week 16 due to a shoulder injury.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Isaiah HodginsNYG6.4 / 5.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Fabian MoreauMINSafe
Isaiah Hodgins was targeted twice last week and finished with just 1 reception for 4 yards. That makes a combined 8 receiving yards over the last 2 weeks for Hodgins who should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
John MetchieNYJ4.5 / 4.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Quincy RileyNOModerate
John Metchie finished with 4 receptions for 25 yards on 5 targets and has now been held under 40 receiving yards in 3 straight games. It’s a solid matchup this week for Metchie and the Jets, but he’s just outside of my top 50 WRs for Wek 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jahan DotsonPHI2.8 / 2.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike SainristilWASSafe
Jahan Dotson hasn’t had more than 2 receptions since Week 1 and should be avoided in all formats.

Marquez Valdes-ScantlingPIT2.4 / 2.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
D.J. ReedDETSafe
Marquez Valdes-Scantling was targeted just once in Week 15, but made the most of it with a 19-yard touchdown reception. MVS should be avoided in all formats despite finding the end zone last week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Kendrick BourneSF6.8 / 6.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mekhi BlackmonINDSafe
Kendrick Bourne finished with 2 receptions for just 17 yards on 3 targets in Week 15 but could be in line for extended work in Week 16 with Ricky Pearsall expected to miss the game. Even if Bourne does operate as the 49ers WR2, he could still end up as the 4th option in the passing offense with how involved both TE George Kittle and RB Christina McCaffrey are in the passing game.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rashid ShaheedSEA9.9 / 7.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cobie DurantLARModerate
Rashid Shaheed put together another solid performance in Week 15 with 5 receptions for 74 yards on 7 targets and has now seen 5+ targets and been over 65 receiving yards in back-to-back games and is starting to get going for the Seahawks. Shaheed is a flex play that carries upside on a weekly basis given his big play ability and is just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Emeka EgbukaTB13.8 / 11.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike JacksonCARModerate
Emeka Egbuka finished with 4 receptions for 64 yards on 7 targets in Week 15 and has been held under 70 receiving yards in every game since Week 11. The targets have still been there for Egbuka, who has seen at least 7 targets in every game since Week 7, but the production has been harder to come by now that the rest of the Tampa Bay WR core is getting healthy. Egbuka is just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 16.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Elic AyomanorTEN6.6 / 5.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylen WatsonKCModerate
Elic Ayomanor caught his lone target in Week 15 for just 17 yards. Ayomanor has been limited to 1 reception per game for the last 3 straight games and should be avoided in this tough matchup against Kansas City.

Jaylin Lane was held without a catch in Week 15 and was targeted just once against the Giants. Lane has not had a reception since Week 11 and should be avoided in all formats.

Tarheeb StillLACRisky
CeeDee Lamb continued to do CeeDee Lamb things in Week 15, hauling in 6 of his 10 targets for 111 yards. This is now three straight games with 100+ yards for Lamb who should be a must start regardless of the tough matchup against the Chargers secondary. I’ve got Lamb as a top 10 WR for Week 16.

Brandin EcholsPITModerate
Amon-Ra St. Brown showed once again why he’s a must start every week, finishing with 13 receptions for 164 yards and two TDs on 18 targets against the Rams. St. Brown remains a must start regardless of matchup and is a top 3 WR for me in Week 16.

C.J.Gardner-JohnsonCHIRisky
Jayden Reed finished with 5 receptions for 55 yards on 6 targets last week and has now had a combined 10 targets in his two games since returning from injury. Reed could be even more important to the Packers game plan if Christian Watson ends up missing due to his injury. I’ve got Reed as a top 30 WR this week who could carry more upside if Watson misses the game.

Marcus HarrisTENModerate
Rashee Rice finished Week 15 with 7 receptions for 51 yards on 11 targets. Rice is likely the only Chiefs WR that you will be able to trust, but he’s now in the concussion protocol and is in danger of missing this weeks game. If Rice is active, I’ll have him as a top 20 WR for Week 16.

Ladd McConkey had yet another disappointing outing in Week 15 against the Chiefs with just 2 receptions for 20 yards on 3 targets. McConkey has now been held under 40 receiving yards in 4 straight games but is in a great spot for a get-right game against the Cowboys secondary. I’ve got Ladd just inside my top 20 WRs for Week 16.

Marlon HumphreyBALSafe
Hopes were high for a strong revenge game for Stefon Diggs against his former team, but the Bills held him to just 3 receptions for 26 yards on 4 targets. Diggs has been under 30 receiving yards in 3 straight games and hasn’t seen more than 4 targets in a game since Week 11 as well. It’s hard to trust any Patriots WR with how much Drake Maye spreads the ball around, but I’ve still got Diggs as my highest ranked Patriots WR for this week, just inside my top 35 for Week 16.

Chris Olave led the Saints with 9 targets and finished with 6 receptions for 85 yards and a TD in Week 15. Olave has seen 7+ targets in 4 of his last 5 games and remains the WR1 for Tyler Shough and the Saints. I’ve got Olave as a top 12 WR for Week 16.

Wan’Dale Robinson was tied for the team lead with 10 targets in Week 15, but was the most productive WR on the day with 5 receptions for 54 yards and a TD. Robinson has had 8+ targets in every game since Week 9 and is a top 24 WR for Week 16.

DeVonta Smith finished with just 2 receptions for 50 yards on 2 targets in Week 15, which was the first game since Week 11 that Smith has seen less than 8 targets. He’s in a good spot to get back on track this week against the Commanders and is a top 20 WR for me in Week 16.

Chau Smith-WadeCARModerate
Chris Godwin was targeted 5 times in Week 15 and finished with 4 receptions for just 20 yards. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Godwin did score a touchdown to save his fantasy day. Targets are likely to be pretty spread out with all of the Buccaneers core WRs healthy, but I’ve got Godwin just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 16.
