NFL Week 16 positional fantasy football rankings

• Jerick McKinnon is a must-start player: McKinnon is coming off back-to-back games with at least 120 yards, two touchdowns and at least seven catches.
• Watch the weather: Multiple games may have bad weather with high winds and snow. This will move some typical fantasy starting receivers to backups, such as Gabriel Davis.
• Nathan Jahnke’s fantasy rankings have been the most accurate in season rankings over the last four seasons combined, per FantasyPros‘ rankings accuracy competition.
