Week 16 Best Player of the Week Write-Up
Week 16 is in the books, and the fantasy playoff race is heating up. With just a few weeks left in the regular season, every win (and category) matters. Some teams took a step forward, while others stumbled hard. Let’s take a look at each squad’s Best Player of the Week (BPW) and what it means for the standings.
1. IE’s Finest (85-46-4) – Anthony Davis AD only played one game this week, but when he’s on the court, he’s a problem. He dropped 26 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks on 55.6% shooting. A quiet week by volume, but still a dominant effort for the league leader. IE’s Finest has been cruising at the top, but with Ballmer’s Big Ballers and Consider the Knicks lurking, they can’t afford to slip.
2. Ballmer’s Big Ballers (78-55-2) – Ivica Zubac You don’t expect Zubac to headline a BPW list, but here we are. 16 points, 14 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game in just two outings. He’s not flashy, but he gets the job done. Ballmer’s Big Ballers stays steady in 2nd place, but they’ll need their stars to step up if they want to push for that top seed.
3. Consider the Knicks (77-55-3) – Jayson Tatum Tatum did what Tatum does: 30 points, 9.75 rebounds, 5.75 assists, and 4.25 threes per game. He’s the engine behind Consider the Knicks’ success, keeping them in the title hunt. If he keeps this up, the Knicks are a legitimate threat come playoff time.
4. Shai-ke 'n Bake (74-56-5) – Kevin Durant KD was cooking this week with 31 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while shooting an elite 67.9% from the field. This is exactly the kind of play Shai-ke 'n Bake needs to stay in the upper tier of the standings. The question is: can he keep carrying the load?
5. A Slice Called Quest (70-61-4) – Kris Dunn A surprising BPW for ASQ, but Dunn filled up the stat sheet with 9.5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5.5 steals per game. That’s right, 5.5 steals. A defensive monster this week. If only he could score like the guys above him...
6. Type 2 Diabatés (68-67-0) – Tyrese Haliburton Haliburton continues to be a steady force, averaging 19.25 points, 8.25 assists, and 3.5 threes per game. His ability to orchestrate an offense is keeping Type 2 Diabatés in the playoff hunt.
7. Collier-d Greens (64-69-2) – Jimmy Butler Playoff Jimmy doesn’t exist in January, but he still had a solid week: 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. His efficiency wasn’t great, but Collier-d Greens will take what they can get as they try to climb out of the middle pack.
8. Sarr Wars - A New Hope (63-69-3) – Nikola Jokić No surprises here. 30.25 points, 12.5 rebounds, 9 assists—just another week in the life of the Joker. Sarr Wars remains a dangerous team if they can put together the right pieces around their franchise guy.
9. Suggs Hardened Johnsons (63-69-3) – Evan Mobley Mobley quietly stuffed the stat sheet with 19.3 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game. A strong effort, but Suggs Hardened Johnsons needs more firepower if they want to push past the .500 mark.
10. Jaquez Tuah (55-77-3) – Jamal Murray Murray exploded this week, averaging 34 points, 5.25 threes, and 5.5 assists per game. Too bad it didn’t help Jaquez Tuah much in the standings. They’re stuck in 10th place and running out of time to turn things around.
11. Winning 4 Tatum's BBQ Ruffles (53-81-1) – Bam Adebayo Bam put up 24.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, proving once again that he’s one of the most versatile bigs in fantasy. But Winning 4 Tatum’s BBQ Ruffles is in a deep hole—will it be too little too late?
12. RimmyTinTin (44-89-2) – Kyrie Irving Kyrie was cooking, averaging 28.3 points, 3 threes, 6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. The problem? RimmyTinTin is still dead last. At this point, they might as well embrace the tank and prep for next season.
That’s it for Week 16. With the playoffs on the horizon, every matchup matters. Can IE’s Finest hold onto the top spot? Will anyone make a late-season push? Stay tuned for next week’s chaos.
