Week 16 Half-PPR Running Back Rankings for Fantasy Football: Ty Chandler, De'Von Achane, Devin Singletary, James Conner

Hey, RotoBallers! It's the second round of the fantasy playoffs, and it's time to set those winning lineups with our and the NFL team's half-PPR fantasy football running back rankings for Week 16. Fantasy managers need to be aware of a lot of news and injuries regarding the running back position heading into the week. Let's get right to it.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) missed last Thursday's game against the Chargers, and how much he practices this week will determine his status for Monday's game versus the Chiefs. The Colts could be without Jonathan Taylor (thumb) and Zack Moss (shoulder) for Week 16 against the Falcons, making Trey Sermon a potential fantasy option. Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) tore his ACL in his left knee and was placed on injured reserve. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill should see an expanded role while Mitchell is sidelined. Here's where key fantasy backs such as Ty Chandler, De'Von Achane, Devin Singletary, and James Conner rank.

Our fantasy football running rankings for Week 16 are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.
