Fantasy Football Week 16 Wide Receiver Rankings

by mahoney1213 on Dec 22, 2011 9:08 AM EST in 2011 Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings

Congratulations if you've made it this far! Most leagues play through Week 16, so if you're reading this article you're likely in your league's championship or damn near close to it. We're at the juncture of the season where it's wise to play the studs or the guys that carried you to this point. With the exception of Mike Wallace and Vincent Jackson. Keep an eye on Jackson's groin as he sat out practice Wednesday. If the injury reports are kind to V-Jax, then safely pencil him in as a WR1 or WR2 this week against Detroit in a projected shootout. Wallace may be without Big Ben on Sunday, so be leery of starting him. He hasn't been the #1 guy the last few weeks anyway with defenses focusing on him and opening up Antonio Brown.

UPDATE: ANQUAN BOLDIN WILL HAVE SURGERY AND WILL BE OUT FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON. MOVE TORREY SMITH UP. Smith has replaced Boldin in the rankings.

Best of luck to you guys. WR Top 50 after the jump...
