If you've made it this far in your fantasy football league and still have FAAB money left, then you know there's no point in holding back on your bids. Whatever it takes to get the players you need, that's what you have to do. Week 16's waiver wire is stocked with worthwhile adds at every position, as Jalen Hurts, Tony Pollard, Sony Michel, Ru sell Gage, Rashard Higgins, Austin Hooper, and the Browns D/ST are just a few who stand out. In shallower leagues, some of those players might be relegated to free agent status as guys like Le'Veon Bell and Giovani Bernard are prioritized ahead of them. Either way, you can bet the race for pickups will be competitive.Aswe Austin Seibert Jersey do every week, let'sbreak down the top pickups and project how much of yourFAABbudget you should bid on them. The percentages at the end of each player's blurb don't really mean much this week, but we still included them as a rough guide to the general value of a player. As we stated above, don't hold back your bids, and prioritize the positions at which you need the most help.DOMINATE YOUR LEAGUE: ! Week 16 Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire QB pickupsJalen Hurts(PHI). The proof is in the pudding at this point. Hurts is an easy top-12 play at the quarterback position this week. He is coming off a game against the Cardinals where he threw for over 300 yards, three touchdowns, and found a touchdown on the ground, as well. Its unlikely youre in need of a quarterback heading into your championship matchup, but Hurts flashed top-five upside and has looked like a great fit in this offense. The Eagles have a very friendly matchup against the Cowboys lined up for Week 16. It wouldnt come as too much of a surprise to anyone if Hurts pulled out another huge performance. Proj. FAAB Bid: 12-14%Baker Mayfield(CLE).Mayfield didnt smash against the Giants, but he didnt really need to. The game was comfortably in hand from the outset, as the Giants couldnt do very much on offense and Mayfield had a good enough game with 297 pa sing yards and a pair of touchdowns. He should Rashard Higgins Jersey easily improve those numbers this week against the Jets.Jared Goffcouldnt take advantage of the matchup, but the Jets have still allowed quarterbacks to throw for multiple touchdowns in five straight games. They also allow the third-most pa sing yards per game, so while the offense didnt blow the Giants out of the water last week, I think theyll lay it on the Jets in Week 16. Proj. FAAB Bid: 10-12%If neither Hurts nor Mayfield are available in your league and you dont have a quarterback you feel great about, you can considerTua TagovailoaorMitchell Trubisky. I havent trusted the output of either on a consistent basis, but the matchups are great for both. For Tua, the Raiders have allowed two pa sing touchdowns to quarterbacks in five straight games, and theres an easy road to about 18-20 fantasy points for the rookie. For Trubisky, the Jaguars have allowed multiple touchdowns to quarterbacks in eight straight games and in 11 of 14 games this year. Chicago could easily justturnDavid Montgomeryloose (as has been the case lately), but weve started Trubisky in worse spots, so against the Jags hes very much in play as a streamer.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Week 16Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire RB pickupsNote: Le'Veon Bell and Giovani Bernard aren't listed here because they're owned in over 50 percent of leagues, but if they're available in your league, make them priority pickups.Tony Pollard(DAL). This is easily the most obvious waiver grab of the week. WithEzekiel Elliott (calf) being a last-minute inactive heading into Week 15, Pollardwas a hot commodity as a last-minute add off waivers. He turned out a very impre sive game with two touchdowns and six receptions. Over 30 points in PPR is nothing to scoff at, so if Elliottmi ses Sundays game against Philadelphia, then T. J. Carrie Jersey Pollard is looking at another opportunity to have a big game. Mike McCarthy did note on Monday that its po sible Elliott suits up for Sundays contest. We have no Ozzie Newsome Jersey idea as of right now as teams havent even started practicing yet for next week. Pollards still very much worth paying for off waivers. Proj. FAAB Bid: 25-30%Salvon Ahmed(MIA). You get a sense that running back will be a tremendous need in Aprils draft for Miami, as its been a revolving door at the position. Everyone in this backfield seems to be getting hurt or being placed on the COVID list, but Ahmedreturned after mi sing three straight games. He looked good with122 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. If hes the top option in the running game in Week 16, then hes in line for a fantastic matchup against the Raiders, who have allowed eight rushing touchdowns to running backs in their past five games. Proj. FAAB Bid: 14-16%Sony Michel(NE). There will betouches available to MIchel ifDamien Harris (ankle) mi ses next Mondays game against the Bills. Hopefully you arent in position where youneedto play Michel, as the game is on Monday night and you'd be in trouble ifHarris can suit up. As always, monitor the practice reports to see how Harris is trending. The Bills are a middle-of-the-road team against running backs, but they did allowMelvin Gordonto score twice last weekend. Proj. FAAB Bid: 10-12%Benny Snell(PIT). There is an argument to po sibly spend more on SnellthanSony Michel, especially since theres a real po sibilityJames Conner (quad) could suit up in Week 16 against the Colts. Weve seen Snell step in for Conner on a couple occasions this season, and hes fallen on both ends of the spectrum of being very useful in fantasy or being a waste of a roster space. He was the former on Monday night against the Bengals, as he put up 19.7 PPR points. Proj. FAAB Bid: 10%WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Week 16 Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire WR pickupsRu sell Gage(ATL).Hes going to be everybodys favorite wide receiver to add this week. Of course, his stock only increases ifJulio Jones (hamstring) is once again declared inactive. He has 42 targets over his past four games, and hes accounted for a touchdown in each of his past three games.Proj. FAAB Bid: 14-17%Rashard Higgins(CLE). Wash. Rinse. Repeat. He didnt find the end zone and the targets were down a bit, but Higgins made the most of the opportunity that was presented to him. Against Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey the Giants he caught four-of-five targets for 76 yards. It was a bit of a slow and sloppy game that left many people wishing the Cowboys werent flexed out of Sun
