Championship Week 16 Standouts

For a majority of leagues week 16 in the NFL is championship week in fantasy football. So if you had some of these players you were extremely happy.

QB - Many people were not big fans of playing Eli Manning or Philip Rivers this week. Well Philip Rivers threw three interceptions however he led the Chargers down from 21 and threw four touchdowns. He also threw for 356 yards. Despite the three picks he had a big day. Nobody in week 16 was as sharp as Eli Manning. Manning was 25-32. He passed for 391 yards and three touchdowns. Manning was razor sharp and did not make any mistakes. Ryan Tannehill and Russell Wilson also had big weeks at the QB position. Tannehill threw for 396 yards and passed for four touchdowns. Russell Wilson passed for 339 yards and two touchdowns. He also added in a rush td and 88 yards on the ground. Tony Romo also threw four touchdown passes in the route of the Colts.

RB- Marshawn Lynch = best mode. Lynch did not really play the first quarter because of an upset stomach , but he probably made Arizona's fans sick in the end. He rushed up and down the field. Lynch may have had the most impressive run of the season for his second touchdown. Lynch carried just 10 times for a 113 yards and found the end zone twice. Jeremy Hill had another big week as he rushed for 147 yards and a score. Frank Gore also had a huge week as he rushed for 158 yards and a score. Lamar Miller , Matt Asiata , and Reggie Bush also had big weeks.

WR- Odell Beckham once again had a monster week. Beckmann continues to dominate in both standard and PPR leagues. Beckham eight catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Beckham is making quite a name for himself and will be off the board quick next year. He has been the best wide receiver of late. Another guy who continues to be great is Jordy Nelson. Nelson had nine catches , 148 yards and a touchdown. Emmanuel Sanders and Riley Copper each caught two touchdowns and Ruben Randle had six catches , 132 yards , and a touchdown.

TE- Antonio Gates and Philip Rivers started off poor but dominated in the second half. Gates had seven grabs , for 92 yards and two scores. Luke Wilson emerged for Seattle catching three passes , two touchdowns , and 139 yards. Zach Ertz was a PPR monster catching fifteen passes for 115 yards.

D/ST - The Packers , Falcons , Bengals , Seahawks , and Bengals all had monster weeks.

K-  Randy Bullock kicked six field goals on a Thursday night football and Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals Sunday afternoon.
