Chet Gresham takes us through the top 110 standard wide receivers for Week 16

Welcome to Week 16 or for a select few of you, the second round of the fantasy football playoffs! It’s going to be a fun end to the season in real-life NFL football, which also makes things better for us fake footballers. Many teams will still need to play all out for playoff implications, as no teams have truly dominated this season. We should have a Week 17 without any teams resting starters this year!

Week 16 byes

None.

WR streamer of the week

Jayden Reed, Bears vs. Packers

Reed was a big part of the Packers offense last week and he played well, just not big fantasy points well. This week he gets a much easier matchup and I expect gets much closer to his fantasy upside against the Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

WR injuries

Davantae Adams, Rams

Adams injured his hamstring last week and is considered week-to-week. With a Thursday night game against the Seahawks, we can expect him to sit this week. No wide receiver took advantage of Adams’ absence, but tight end Colby Parkinson put together a huge game with some extra looks last week.

Rome Odunze, Bears

Odunze has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and the team wanted to give him some time to get right in Week 14. He was set to get back out there in Week 15, but aggravated the injury in warm-ups and couldn’t play. At this point there isn’t a good time-table for when he’ll be back. DJ Moore, Colston Loveland and Luther Burden get good bumps if Odunze remains out.

Tee Higgins, Browns

Higgins suffered a concussion in Week 12 and again in Week 14. He was unable to play last week. If he can’t go again, Mike Gesicki should get a good boost for fantasy, while Ja’Marr Chase should see a huge target percentage.

Drake London, Falcons

London suffered a sprained PCL in Week 11 against the Panthers. He’s missed the last four weeks, but wasn’t put on I.R. It does sound like he has a real chance to return this week against the Cardinals, so keep an eye on practice reports.

Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals

Harrison remained out last week with a heel injury. He has yet to practice with the injury, so he should be considered questionable to start this week.

Ricky Pearsall, 49ers

Pearsall injured his ankle and knee last week and there is some concern he could miss time. He does have until Monday before they play the Colts though. Last week he finally got back on track by catching 6-of-7 targets for 96 yards, but this could slow him back down.

Luther Burden, Bears

Burden suffered an ankle injury last week and is considered day-to-day for their matchup with the Packers on Saturday. There seems to be a real chance he could miss this game along with Rome Odunze. Olamide Zaccheaus would see a significant uptick in work if that happens.
