Running Back Rankings Week 16
Giddyup!
Welcome to the Week 16 Running Back Rankings.
I caught a bad break with Samaje Perine (groin) and perhaps a few of you did as well. The move right now is to add Kapri Bibbs if you have no better way to play it, or maybe even just Bibbs to keep him away from your opponent. Kerwynn Williams (quad) is another back to watch, though the method for replacing him is more complex because he’ll be replaced by a committee of Elijhaa Penny and DJ Foster.
Rex Burkhead is looking like he’s out, but both Leonard Fournette and Joe Mixon sound likely to return. Our guy Kenyan Drake is ripping it up and he could yield a few touches to the potentially returning Damien Williams, but Drake has clearly asserted himself as we thought he would. He should get the lion's share either way. I hope a lot of you have been riding The Drake. He’s certainly added something to a few of my teams.
I’m assuming that Peyton Barber is running ahead of Martin this week, but if there’s word that they are switching back, I will update. It’s a tough matchup for either back so we’re talking about a flex option either way.
I’ll be back with the wide receivers and tight ends.
These rankings are based on .5 PPR scoring.
