Week 16 Fantasy Football RB Picks

De'Von Achane vs CIN
Tua Tagovailoa has been benched, according to a Wednesday report on X by Adam Schefter. As such, with Quinn Ewers taking over the starting duties, there will be an even heavier emphasis on the running game.
De'Von Achane has lit up linebackers and defensive lines all season long, and now he will have one of the weakest defenses in the league. If you have Achane, congratulations, because you're in decent shape to move to the next round of the fantasy football playoffs.
Bijan Robinson @ARI
Bijan Robinson has been consistent over the last month and will now be given a mortal rushing defense with Arizona that could lead to a big game. The Cardinals have the 21st rushing defense in the NFL and could see that ranking dip after Robinson is done with them.
Robinson earned 19 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown on Thursday, and after a mini-bye, should be in great shape to blast the Cardinals for all four quarters. If you have Robinson on your fantasy football team, start him.
Saquon Barkley @WSH
Saquon Barkley's health is a question after he missed practice on Tuesday due to a stinger injury. However, if he can get on the field to face the Washington Commanders, fantasy football managers will be rewarded by getting Barkley against the 28th-best rushing defense in the NFL.
The Commanders have shut down Jayden Daniels for the year, which sets up the Philadelphia Eagles to give Barkley cleanup duty in the second half if the Eagles show up as they did against the Las Vegas Raiders.
