Week 16 Fantasy Football RB Rankings: Start of the Week
James Conner at Carolina Panthers
If you read my article on “Running backs to buy for the fantasy playoffs,” and my “Start of the Week” for Week 15, you know that I absolutely love Conner for the fantasy playoffs. He did not disappoint in Week 15 against the New England Patriots as he finished as the RB1 with 30.8 PPR fantasy points.
This week, Conner gets a juicier matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers boast the worst rush defense in the league and were just decimated by the Dallas Cowboys and Rico Dowdle. They allow an average of over 170 rushing yards per game to go along with 19 rushing touchdowns.
The “James Conner will bring me to my championship finale” continues this week. Sit back and enjoy!
