Over the past few weeks, you've probably read that you should handcuff your top RBs, and we got another reminder in Week 15 why that's evergreen advice. Jonathan Taylor exited in the first quarter on Saturday
Zach Bogosian Kids Jersey , a week after Dameon Pierce was lost for the season. Those injuries have created annoying committee situations that haveZack Mo sandRoyce Freemanamong our , joining the likes of fellow "secondary" RBsTyler AllgeierandChuba Hubbard, both of whom have been outperforming their respective starters lately.Our features more than emerging RBs. We also have some late-season breakouts at WR (Noah Brown,K.J. Osborn) and a slew of matchup-based streamer suggestions for Week 16.Even though fewer fantasy squads are actually looking for waiver-wire sleepers this time of year, we know that between injuries and micromanaging every start 'em, sit 'em decision, it's nice to have options. Some are only for those in deep leagues, but we're trying to help everyone win a championship, so don't scoff when you see some of the le s-than-appealing names. As usual, the streamers are grouped by position and can be found at the .There's no reason to hold back waiver claims at this point, so if you need a player (or need to block your opponent from getting a player), then don't hesitate to use a top claim. Yes, you'd like to be in pole position for next week's big pickups if you advance to the championship, but you have to get there first. RBs like Mo s and Allgeier still have the most potential value, but if your biggest need is WR or QB, then by all means, claim the best player at those positions.MORE WEEK 16 PICKUPS: It's po sible, maybe even likely,
Gilbert Perreault Women Jersey that most owners will be using multiple claims, so using just one might be your best chance of staying at or near the top of the waiver order. However, if you have multiple holes to fill, then use as many claims as you need to. If your lineup is set, don't be afraid to look ahead to Week 17 and grab potential streamers in free agency.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Zack Mo s, RB, Colts.Mo s took over as the Colts' primary ball carrier after Jonathan Taylor's first-quarter ankle injury, finishing
Pierre Turgeon Men Jersey with 81 yards on 24 carries. Taylor figures to be at least "questionable" going into next week's game against the Chargers' 28th-ranked run defense, making Mo s a must-add. Given the matchup, Mo s would be a solid RB2 despite splitting snaps with Deon Jackson, so don't be afraid to spend a top waiver claim on him.Tyler Allgeier, RB, Falcons.Allgeier had remained involved in Atlanta's backfield since Cordarrelle Patterson returned from injury in Week 9, averaging 10.4 total touches for 59.2 total yards in Weeks 9-14, but he really broke out in Week 15, posting a career-high 139 rushing yards and a TD on a team-high 17 carries. Patterson managed 52 total yards and a TD on 15 touches (14 carries), and it's po sible -- maybe even probable -- that Allgeier continues to operate as Atlanta's lead back going forward. At the very least, he's a low-end flex in a tough matchup against Baltimore in Week 16, and he has RB2 upside in a better matchup against
Seth Griffith Men Jersey Arizona in Week 17.MORE WEEK 16 PICKUPS: Royce Freeman, RB, Texans.Freeman was Houston's most effective runner on Sunday, but that's not saying much. He picked up 51 yards on 11 carries, outpacing starter Dare Ogunbowale by three carries and 37 yards. Freeman will likely continue to operate as Houston's nominal "lead back" next week against Tenne see, but you shouldn't start him in that matchup. That said, he could have legit flex value in Week 17 against Jacksonville. That's true for Ogunbowale, too, who could start again and remain the primary ball carrier if he has the hot hand like Freeman did this week. Ogunbowale is also worth a stash in deep leagues.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Joshua Kelley, RB, Chargers.Austin Ekeler was in and out of Sunday's game because of an arm injury, and even though he ultimately finished strong, he didn't look quite like his usual self (70 total yards). He actually had just two more carries than Kelley, who ran 10 times for 24 yards and a TD. Kelley isn't going to take over as long as Ekeler is healthy, but it makes sense to pick him up given Ekeler's injury history. With a favorable matchup against the Colts next week, Kelley could have some deep-league flex value in a reserve role. He'd immediately become a must-start RB2 if Ekeler is forced to sit out.Noah Brown, WR, Cowboys.A week after catching four-of-six targets for 85 yards, Brown had another big day in Week 15, catching six-of-eight looks for 49 yards and two TDs. Most noteworthy is that Michael Gallup had just two targets, so it appears that Brown is overtaking him for the WR2 role. Either way, Brown always has flex upside in Dallas' high-powered offense, though next week's matchup against Philadelphia will be tough. He's still worth stashing for a highly favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Titans, though.For more waiver/free agent suggestions, including a host of
