Week 16 NFL Fantasy Football: Start James Cook, Rashee Rice, Jake Browning, David Njoku, and Calvin Ridley
These players are expected to perform well in Week 16, based on recent performances, team strategies, and upcoming matchups.
- James Cook of the Buffalo Bills is a must-start running back, having scored 16 or more fantasy points in every game since Joe Brady took over as interim OC.
- Rookie Rashee Rice of the Kansas City Chiefs has become a must-start player in fantasy football, averaging eight catches, 83.5 yards and 20.4 fantasy points per game in his last four games.
- Jake Browning of the Cincinnati Bengals is a probable starter, having averaged 23.1 fantasy points in his last three games.
- David Njoku of the Cleveland Browns is a must-start tight end, having double-digit fantasy points in every game but one since Week 7.
- Calvin Ridley of the Jacksonville Jaguars is a probable starter, especially if Trevor Lawrence plays this week and Zay Jones sits, in a friendly matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
