Week 16 WR Rankings: 60 Minutes Is Back Atop The Charts

Found December 21, 2011 on Top Fantasy Football:
PLAYERS: Charlie Batch,  Wes Welker,  Vincent Jackson,  Miles Austin,  Santana Moss,  Laurent Robinson,  Anquan Boldin,  Jabar Gaffney,  Santonio Holmes,  Reggie Wayne,  Steve Breaston,  Plaxico Burress,  Donald Driver,  Nate Washington,  Nate Burleson,  Greg Little
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers,  New England Patriots,  San Diego Chargers,  Dallas Cowboys,  Washington Redskins,  Baltimore Ravens,  New York Jets,  Indianapolis Colts,  Kansas City Chiefs,  Green Bay Packers,  Tennessee Titans,  Detroit Lions,  Cleveland Browns

This is pretty much it for a ton of people in fantasy football, so let’s keep in mind that while the rankings suggest mentions that are numerically placed, your specific questions help you tailor the advice you’re reading.

Mike Wallace is primed for a very nice day, but don’t expect it to come right out of the gate with Charlie Batch under center.

Wallace’s value could come in Hodge-Podge instances, but it should still be enough to raise him to the number one spot for WR’s in Week 16, so be sure to pay close attention here, and then leave your questions below.

An argument for Charlie Batch playing against the Niners
