Fantasy Football Week 16 Player Projections (2022)

In this piece are my personal NFL Week 16 projections for every fantasy- and prop-relevant player (unless I missed one here or there).

This week, I will keep the following schedule for my projections.

  • Wednesday: Do first pass of player projections in the early morning.
  • Thursday: Do initial update in the afternoon before Thursday Night Football.
  • Saturday & Sunday: Do final update late on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning.

After my final update, if you want to see an even fresher set of player projections check out our official Week 14 FantasyPros projections, which we use on BettingPros to power our Prop Bet Cheat Sheet and Prop Bet Analyzer, both of which are great resources.

While you can use these projections to make fantasy decisions, I recommend you also consult the following.

NFL Week 16 Player Projections

My projections are organized by projected fantasy points. I use the default half-PPR FantasyPros scoring settings. Note that my projected fantasy points do include two-point conversions and fumbles lost (and passing production for Taysom Hill), but I haven’t included those projections in the following tables to save space.

Note that my projections differ from my rankings, which are more intuitive and done by hand. With my rankings, I try to take upside and downside into account. I think about range of outcomes and potential expected value. I’m currently No. 11 in the FantasyPros Accuracy Contest after finishing No. 14 last year. My projections are largely automated and created with formulas in a spreadsheet. With my projections, I’m trying to forecast only the median.
