Week 16. Title time in so many fantasy leagues. By late Sunday night, countless leagues will have crowned a champion.
Here's to hoping you are among the winners. PFW's "Fantasy Ticker" aims to help you in this quest. In this week's Ticker, I've ranked useful and widely available players at these positions: QB, RB, WR, TE and D/ST. I've also included a few general strategy tips about the PK position.
Players are in order of how I would prioritize them on the waiver wire, and they are ranked by position, not relative to all players on the list. The suggestions below are a function of matchups, expected opportunities and other factors.
As a general rule, I focus only upon players available in more than 50 percent of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.
They are also ranked on the basis of how I believe they can help you this week, not in any other week. You don't need me to tell you about the urgency of the moment.
Good luck to all in Week 16. Let us begin:
Quarterbacks
1. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (owned in 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues) — He has the toughest matchup of the quarterbacks listed, and he didn't fare well in his first meeting with San Francisco, but if I had to pick a QB of this group with my season on the line, I would trust him the most. Wilson has thrown multiple TD passes in half of his starts, and he rushed for three scores vs. Buffalo on Sunday.
