NFL Fantasy Football Week 16: Wide receiver rankings

Week 16 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season features playoff matchups in almost every league. Managers fortunate enough to make it this far know how important it is to optimize their lineups each week. The wide receiver position gives them plenty of opportunities to do so. Wide receivers are more capable contributors in Fantasy Football than in any other position.

While no teams will be on their bye week, several elite wide receivers will miss Week 16 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season due to injuries. Some of the most notable names include Deebo Samuel and Tyler Lockett.

This means that other wide receivers from the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers could see more targets than usual. This includes DK Metcalf, Marquise Goodwin, and Brandon Aiyuk.

Managers looking to build their lineup for the Fantasy Football playoffs will need to plan accordingly. The following rankings can help them do so.
