Fantasy football rankings for Week 16: Bills’ Josh Allen on verge of something special
Championship Week is finally here. Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been one of this season’s best draft-day values — and likely a major reason many of his fantasy teams have a chance to win it all. If you’ve made it to your league’s title game, congratulations! Now, it’s time to clear one last hurdle.
Fantasy football rankings for Week 16 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
