Well, well, looks like you are back for my Week 16 RB rankings. Some top RBs showed up last week, but others fell off. Christian McCaffrey, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Jonathan Taylor all went silent last week. Hopefully, that is not the case this week. But Taylor could be in an interesting spot as he is dealing with Philip Rivers over Daniel Jones. Now, let’s get into some key players I highlighted for this week.Â

Running Back Notes
- Let’s start with TreVeyon Henderson as my RB10 going against the Ravens. Henderson showed what he could do with limited touches last week and still delivered 29.1 fantasy points off 14 carries. However, this could finally be the week where we see Henderson lead the backfield. Rhamondre Stevenson could steal some carries away, but this looks like it will be the Henderson show this week.Â
- Next, I have Travis Etienne Jr. as my RB8 going against the Broncos. Now this is a hard start, but it is clear that Etienne is elite for this team. Though the Broncos are the fifth-toughest fantasy defense against RBs, Etienne is also highly skilled on the pass-catching side. Etienne now has nine total touchdowns since Week 9. You need to run with the hot hand, no matter who the defense is.Â
- Lastly, I have Quinshon Judkins as my RB19 going against the Bills. Judkins started hot, but ever since has fizzled out. The Bills do have one of the worst fantasy defenses against RBs. However, they are the sixth-toughest defense against quarterbacks. So if Shedeur Sanders can’t get it going, then Judkins is likely not to have a huge game. Judkins has two rushing touchdowns since Week 10. I would not risk starting Judkins and would rather risk starting Omarion Hampton against Dallas or Woody Marks against the Raiders.
