CLEVELAND, OH – Week 16 of the NFL season is here, which means you’re one win away from a fantasy championship. Some of the stars that got you this far — like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are out this week — which means you’ll have to rely on the waiver wire and your bench to finish the season with a league title.
Here are the players worth adding this week:
Breshad Perriman (12%) — Perriman is a headliner this week with Godwin and Evans both injured. He finished with five receptions for 113 yards and three touchdowns against the Lions. Perriman has four touchdowns in his last two games and has WR1 potential in Week 16 against the Texans. He’s a must-add in all leagues.
Boston Scott (8%) — Scott has 38 PPR points in his last two games, including seven receptions in the Eagles’ win over the Redskins. He’s heavily involved in the offense and has a nice rapport with Carson Wentz. Scott is worth adding if you need help at running back — especially in PPR leagues.
Anthony Miller (26%) — Miller has at least 11 PPR points in five straight games. He had nine receptions on 15 targets against the Packers, finishing with 118 yards and one touchdown. Miller has forced his way into fantasy lineups with his recent play. He’ll be a WR3 with upside in Week 16.
Kerryon Johnson (39%) — Johnson is expected to return to action this week against the Broncos, but he hasn’t played since Week 7 and is hard to trust with a fantasy championship on the line. Johnson is worth adding, but don’t force him into your lineups.
Adrian Peterson (53%) — Peterson has scored a touchdown and finished with at least 66 rushing yards in three straight games. He’s worth adding in all leagues, but has more appeal in standard formats since he isn’t used much in the passing game.
John Ross III (8%) — Ross has four receptions on six targets in his first two games since coming off of injured reserve. Despite the lack of big plays (so far), he’s still worth a speculative add in deeper leagues. He'll have a high ceiling and a low-floor against the Dolphins in Week 16.
Dion Lewis (12%) — Lewis could have a bigger role in the Titans’ offense this week with Derrick Henry (leg) playing through pain last Sunday against the Texans. Lewis is a quick, shifty back that could have flex potential in PPR leagues if Henry were to miss time or be limited.
Other players worth watching:
Ryan Fitzpatrick (25%), Mike Boone (3%), Greg Ward (2%), Kenny Stills (16%), O.J. Howard (41%).
