Ranking fantasy winners of Week 16

1. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Taylor dropped a season-high 39.8 points on the Titans' defense, displaying his home run ability. Taylor, who logged three touchdowns, had two scoring runs of 65 or more yards, slashing through second- and third-level pursuit angles. He's absolutely rolling in the open field. Taylor's final line -- 29 carries, 218 yards rushing -- points to his rare ability to handle volume, while creating explosive plays. Taylor and the Colts get a Giants defense in Week 17 that looks checked out, so keep him locked-in as a top-five play. -- Bowen
