Antonio Brown, A.J. Brown, and Calvin Ridley have all been out for at least three weeks but for very different reasons. Antonio has been serving a suspension, A.J. has been on IR, and Ridley has spent the majority of the season on the reserve/NFI list. Are any of them playing in Week 16? We have the latest updates on each player below.For updates on RBs Joe Mixon and Leonard Fournette, ; for the latest on banged-up pa s-catchers Chris Godwin, Mike Tony Phillips Jersey Evans,Julio Jones, and Pat Freiermuth;for updates on ailing RBsAustin Ekeler,Elijah Mitchell,D'Andre Swift,Kareem Hunt, andDamien Harris, ; for more onLamar Jackson,Darren Waller, andAdam Thielen, .For all the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .MORE WEEK 16: | Antonio Brown (suspension) and it couldn't come at a better time with Mark McGwire Jersey Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) dealing with injuries. His three-game suspension for "misrepresenting his vaccination status" is over, and he's supposedly healed from his foot injury after being out since Week 6. He'll immediately move into a key role against the Panthers in Week 16.Even if Evans and Godwin weren't banged up, Brown would draw heavy starting interest, but with at least Godwin mi sing time, Brown is a must-start without hesitation. Carolina ranked inside the top five against fantasy WRs heading into Week 15, but it had been struggling even before allowing Gabriel Davis and Stefon Diggs to combine for three Dave Henderson Jersey touchdowns against it in Week 15. Brown has WR1 upside right away.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Brown (chest) can return from IR in Week 16, and heading into a matchup with the 49ers on Thursday, Titans and Brown fantasy owners are desperate to get him back. With Julio Jones (hamstring) likely out, Brown will come back to virtually Jed Lowrie Jersey no target competition. Of course, he could be limited by his nagging injuries this season, but the upside is too high here to bench him. We know it's tough to risk these things during the fantasy playoffs, but you'll be kicking yourself if he returns to form and has an explosive game.The Niners are a top-12 matchup for WRs, so view Brown as a risky low-end WR2with real WR1 upside. It's tough to know how he'll look if he plays, but again, the target competition is laughable. If he and Jones are out, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could serve as a decent flex option in deep leagues, but Andrew Triggs Jersey no one is guaranteed a big game in this struggling offense.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | There have been no updates on Ridley (personal) in quite some time, so it's tough to think he'll be back for Week 16 Reggie Jackson Jersey against the Lions. That said, we are very early in the week, so stay tuned. He could ultimately not play again this season (which is how it's looking), but we can't act like he wouldn't immediately draw starting interest if he returns.All that said, we're moving forward as if he won't play, and since Ru sell Gage has been highly productive lately, he's a great flex option heading into a matchup with Detroit. He's best suited for PPR leagues. but he should have a nice day in standard, too.
