NFL Week 16 positional fantasy football rankings 2.0

• Jerick McKinnon is a must-start: McKinnon has recorded 120-plus yards, two touchdowns and seven or more catches in each of his last two games.

• Watch the weather: Multiple games may be at the mercy of bad weather this weekend, with high winds and snow expected. This will downgrade typical fantasy starters such as Gabriel Davis.

• Nathan Jahnke’s fantasy rankings have been the most accurate in-season rankings over the last four seasons, per FantasyPros‘ rankings-accuracy competition.
