We have been with you all season and are here to guide you to the fantasy championship with our Week 16 half-PPR wide receiver rankings for fantasy football. There is plenty of news and notes to get regarding wide receivers. Let's get to it.
Week 16 comes with some challenges as vital wide receivers such as Tyreek Hill (ankle), Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder), Keenan Allen (heel), Chris Olave (ankle), and Marquise Brown (heel) are all dealing with injuries.
