Ranking fantasy winners of Week 16
1. Amari Cooper, WR, Cleveland Browns
His was a fantasy-playoffs performance for the ages, a personal-best 51.5 PPR fantasy-point score that was the season's second highest in a game, behind only Ja'Marr Chase's 52.2 in Week 5. Not that matchups-winning performances are anything new for him, as it was his seventh career game with 35-plus points, which trails only Antonio Brown (10), Davante Adams (9) and Tyreek Hill (9) among wide receivers during that nine-year time span. Cooper capitalized upon the supremely favorable matchup against the Houston Texans, but he'll be in for the toughest one a wide receiver can draw in the New York Jets in Week 16. Expect a much quieter day then. -- Cockcroft
