Fantasy Waiver Wire Week 16 Deon Jackson
Fantasy Waiver Wire Week 16 Deon Jackson
Zack Mo s?Royce Freeman?Marquise Goodwin? You know it's fantasy football playoff time when these names are amongthe . It's also not surprising that guys who were hot pickups earlier in the season, such asDeon Jackson,Jahan Dotson,Tyler Allgeier, andKhalil Herbert, are also back in the mix for Week 16. Waivers will likely be busy this week, but you can expect plenty of action waivers clear around 4-5 a.m. ET on Wednesday mornings in ESPN and Yahoo leagues, too.Our features a few more notable stashes and
Kenneth Murray Jr. Jersey breakouts (Gardner Minshew,Joshua Kelley, Chuba Hubbard, K.J. Osborn, Noah Brown), but it's mostly packed with potential one-week wonders. Since we're trying to help everyone win championships -- even those in 14-team leagues -- we have a slew of QB, WR, TE, and D/ST streamer suggestions, most of which can be ignored by those in 10-team leagues. Nonethele s, you might find some diamonds in the rough who can carry your team to fantasy championships. Our streamer recommendations
Gerald Everett Jersey are grouped by position and can be found at the .At this point, there's no need to hold back your waiver claims. Go get whoever you need to win your matchup. Mo s, Allgeier, and Jackson figure to command the highest bids, but if you're set at RB and don't need to block your opponent from getting one of these backs, you shouldn't hesitate to use a high claim on a WR or QB if that's what you need.MORE WEEK 16 PICKUPS: Ideally, your roster is set and you can wait until free agency to grab some potential Week 17 streamers, but either way, you should be active. Having options and preparing for the worst (i.e. stockpiling handcuffs) is important because you never know when injuries will strike. We were mostly fortunate on the injury front this past week, but carnage is always right around the corner this late in the season.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Deon Jackson, RB, Colts.Jackson played second fiddle to Zack Mo s after Jonathan Taylor's early
Tre McKitty Jersey ankle injury in Week 15, but he still managed 14 touches for 56 total yards and a TD. In a highly favorable matchup in Week 16 against the Chargers' 28th-ranked run defense, Jackson would have flex value. He's worth a speculative add with Taylor highly unlikely to play again this year.Royce Freeman, RB, Texans.Freeman was Houston's most effective runner on Sunday, but that's not saying much. He picked up 51 yards on 11 carries, outpacing starter Dare Ogunbowale by three carries and 37 yards. Freeman will likely continue to operate as Houston's nominal "lead back" next week against Tenne see, but you shouldn't start him in that matchup. That said, he could have legit flex value in Week 17 against Jacksonville. That's true for Ogunbowale, too, who could start again and remain the primary ball carrier if he has the hot hand like Freeman did this week. Ogunbowale is also worth a stash in deep leagues.MORE WEEK 16 PICKUPS: Khalil Herbert, RB, Bears.Herbert (hip) is
Keenan Allen Jersey eligible to return in Week 16, and if he does, he has plenty of upside in Chicago's run-heavy offense. In his previous five games, including the one in which he got hurt, he averaged 10.6 touches and 68 total yards per game while scoring two total TDs. You probably aren't going to start him in Week 16 against Buffalo, but he has high-end flex value against Detroit in Week 17.Jahan Dotson, WR, Commanders. Dotson is finally back to the form he showed earlier in the season before a hamstring injury sidelined him for five games. He hauled in four-of-six targets for 105 yards and a TD on Sunday night, one week after catching five-of-nine looks for 54 yards and a score. He's clearly Washington's No. 2 target after Terry McLaurin, and even against San Francisco in Week 16, that can yield flex-worthy results in deep leagues.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Marquise Goodwin, WR, Seahawks.Goodwin has been a solid contributor for the Seahawks most of the season, and even though he's coming off a quiet game against San Francisco (two catches, five targets, 10 yards), he has major value in Week 16 against Kansas City. Not only are the Chiefs allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to WRs, but Tyler Lockett (finger) is also in serious danger of sitting out. Goodwin should see six-plus targets, and with his game-breaking speed, he could easily have a big day like he did in Week 14 (95 yards, TD) or Week 7 when DK Metcalf mi sed most of that contest (67 yards, two TDs).For more waiver/free agent suggestions, including top pickups Zack Mo s, Tyler Allgeier,
