Top Fantasy Football Picks of Week 16 One surprise in Week 16: The model is disappearing on Giants receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, despite him averaging 81.3 yards with two scores in his last three games and being the WR9 in season PPR leagues. He’s starting in nearly 60% of leagues this week. Robinson has a brutal Sunday matchup against Minnesota, which has allowed the fewest Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. No wideout has scored in six straight games against Minnesota as it has kept players like CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jaxon Smith-Njigba out of the end zone. Another curveball: The model is high on Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, despite him having one or fewer passing TDs in four of his last five games and starting in just 43% of leagues this week. The exception during that five-game stretch came on Sunday, when Nix tied a career-high with four TDs, along with 302 passing yards, against an elite Green Bay defense. That caliber of defense won’t be what he sees on Sunday with the Jags, who rank 20th in passing.
