Fantasy: Final Sunday/Monday rankings for title-game Week 16
Here are the final Sunday/Monday rankings for fantasy Week 16 -- universally known as Championship Week -- involving quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends (standard-scoring leagues).
Some of the rankings have been modified to support new developments from the NFL's official injury list.
But as stated many times in this blog, I am not one to overreact to a star player listed as "questionable" prior to kickoff.
For example, I am not expecting T.Y. Hilton (Colts) to play on Sunday.
My rationale: If a guy practiced twice over the three-day period of Wednesday through Friday, I assume he'll play and garner roughly 70 percent of his standard touches, targets or pass attempts.
One last thing: Consult the NFL Weather Map before settling all lineup quandaries.
