With just three weeks left in the regular season, teams are pushing for postseason positioning and players are hitting milestones each week. Hopefully, your fantasy team keeps stacking up W’s as well, and getting big production from your wide receivers is key to keeping rolling as you push to the finish line. As you make your start/sit decisions for Week 16, check out my top 30 Week 16 WR rankings to help you get just the right receivers in just the right spots to carry you on to the next round.

In Week 15, some big names came through with big games, led by Lions receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown (44.4 FPTS) and Jameson Williams (29.4 FPTS), who lost to the Rams but posted monster weeks. Puka Nacua (30.9 FPTS) slotted between them in the second spot for the week, with Courtland Sutton (27.3 FPTS), Ja’Marr Chase (26.2 FPTS), Nico Collins (23.5 FPTS), DJ Moore (22.9 FPTS), Mike Evans (22.2 FPTS), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (21.3 FPTS), and Troy Franklin (20.8 FPTS) also posting over 20 fantasy points to round out the top nine.
