As of the publication of this post, the availability of Odell Beckham, Jr. isn't known for Week 16. It's affected the SB Nation fantasy rankings accordingly, and the staffers have proceeded as if he will not be available on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy football rankings, Week 16: Consensus wide receivers for standard leagues
The SB Nation fantasy staff rounds up the rankings for the top 50 wide receivers in standard leagues.
It would be a crushing blow to fantasy owners who have made it this far, but every fantasy owner playing for his or her league crown has certainly had to do some reshuffling over the course of the season.* So what’s one more week of needing a backup plan?
*If you have not needed to reshuffle despite the billion injuries that have happened over the course of the season, then you have incredible luck, and you don’t need the fantasy help. It clearly doesn’t matter how you manage your team; you’re going to be fine, and I want you to know that I hate you. Personally.
Elsewhere, the late-season surges of Doug Baldwin, Ted Ginn Jr. and Sammy Watkins have added a new element of depth to fantasy leagues, and it would be far from surprising to see those players names come up in fantasy championship battles.
As for the rest of the fantasy-relevant wide receivers, the staff has them ranked accordingly.
