Baltimore: It’s that time again! If you’re looking to strengthen your fantasy football team, now’s the moment to snag some players for Week 16. This week is crucial since it’s the semifinals for most leagues.
First up is Rashod Bateman from the Ravens. Lamar Jackson was on fire last week, throwing for five touchdowns and racking up 290 yards. Bateman caught two of those touchdowns and led the team in receiving yards, making him a solid pickup if you need a wide receiver.
Next, we have Jerome Ford from the Browns. With Nick Chubb out due to a broken foot, Ford is stepping up as the main guy in the backfield. He had a great game against the Chiefs and is set to face the Bengals next week, which could be a big opportunity for him.
Lastly, keep an eye on Kendre Miller from the Saints. Alvin Kamara left the game with a groin injury, and if he’s out, Miller will likely take on a bigger role. He showed promise in limited action, so he’s worth considering as a backup plan.
