Fantasy Football: Week 16 FLEX rankings (Half-PPR)

Injuries are an unfortunate aspect of the game of football, but the reality is that the NFL is a “next man up” league, where players need to be ready to step into a big role even when they least expect it to be necessary.

A prime example of that mentality came in Week 15, as Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb suffered a broken foot just eight games into his campaign returning from 2023’s season-ending knee injury — the toughest of breaks, literally, for a player who’s already overcome so much. It didn’t take long for backup Jerome Ford to step up, though, breaking off a 62-yard score — Cleveland’s lone touchdown of the day.

Ford may not have the highest upside in the world, especially on a volatile Browns offense, but given the fact that he’s presumably set to resume a starting role in the offense could be just the boost managers need to fill out their lineups through the rest of the playoffs.
