Week 16 WR Rankings: 60 Minutes Is Back Atop The Charts
Posted by Ray Tannock on Dec 21, 2011 in Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Rankings
This is pretty much it for a ton of people in fantasy football, so let’s keep in mind that while the rankings suggest mentions that are numerically placed, your specific questions help you tailor the advice you’re reading.
Mike Wallace is primed for a very nice day, but don’t expect it to come right out of the gate with Charlie Batch under center.
Wallace’s value could come in Hodge-Podge instances, but it should still be enough to raise him to the number one spot for WR’s in Week 16, so be sure to pay close attention here, and then leave your questions below.
| WR Rank | Player Name | Team | Player Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mike Wallace | PIT | Even with Batch under center, this is a solid WR 1 play. | |
| 2 | Roddy White | ATL | Can't ignore this monumental matchup. | |
| 3 | Calvin Johnson | DET | He'll be limited early on, which will cut into his production. | |
| 4 | Wes Welker | NE | May not play a full 4. | |
| 5 | Larry Fitzgerald | ARI | He produces no matter who he faces. | |
| 6 | Brandon Marshall | MIA | Now THIS is a very tasty start! | |

last week wallace was @ 17 with rothlesburger and this week hes #1 with charlie batch even against a poor rams D…sorry not buying it
You don’t have to buy it, but be aware—in case you haven;t taken into consideration things other than face value—the Steelers faced the 49ers with an unhealthy Big-Ben, and this week they face a much poorer defense in STL with Charlie Batch who has always moved the offense…..maybe not QUITE as good ass Big Ben, but still serviceable.
Batch and Wallace may not set the world on fire, but you also have to consider the fact that many receivers in this list could potentially sit if their respective team gains an early lead they can sit on.
All of the factors point toward Wallace coming out on top or near so…..but again, you probably already thought of all of this and more so, right?
Another tasty solid game for Jordy Nelson!!!
He had a crap game last week and cost me two of my leagues championship weeks.
I think with Jennings out, he draws the defense to him and can’t get open.
Damn him! However, yes, but is another tasty matchup, and Nelson has had quite a few this year.
Need to pick three of the following (TE allowed as WR) in non-PPR league:
Victor Cruz, Dez Bryant, Laurent Robinson, Aaron Hernandez, Demaryius Thomas.
Can use four of them if I don’t play Felix Jones or Michael Bush. What would you do?
Quite possibly the worst rankings I’ve ever seen. HA Ben goes down, and MW is #1 OVERALL? Credibility is out the window, and you should be banned from every posting rankings.
champonship week! 0.5 ppr, 1pt/20 yards & return yards.. nate washington, demariyus thomas, DHB, james jones, donald driver, randall cobb? thanks!
thats what i said johnny
and demaryius thomas @ 46? id start him over mike wallace this week
does torrey smith move up now that boldwin not playing? im in a pickle ppr league..i have steven jackson and im thinking of starting torrey smith instead,i also have holmes,and nate washington sitting on the bench. should i ride with jackson
who knows dan, flacco will probably go to dickson more now and joe haden will probably be on torrey….both giants and jags secondary’s are poor so it could be big days for holmes and washington…its a toss up
