As the fantasy football playoffs approach their semifinals in most leagues, it's crucial to start looking ahead to your next matchup. Here are some players to consider adding to boost your team.

Unlock Fantasy Football Success with These Week 16 Picks

Rashod Bateman, WR, Baltimore Ravens (25%)

In Week 15, Lamar Jackson emerged from his bye with an absolute blistering performance. He completed 21 out of 25 passes for an impressive 290 yards and an astonishing five touchdown throws. On top of that, he added 65 yards on the ground. His arm was truly dominant that day, and Rashod Bateman was a major beneficiary. Bateman tied for second on the team in targets with five, and he scored two touchdowns while leading the team in receiving yards. Despite having only three catches, his explosive ability was on full display. The Ravens have a plethora of weapons, but with Jackson playing at this level (he might just be in contention for another MVP), it's essential to have a piece of this explosive offense. If you need WR help, adding Bateman could be a game-changer.

Jerome Ford, RB, Cleveland Browns (42%)

This could be your final chance to add Jerome Ford to your fantasy team. After the Browns' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, it was quickly announced that Nick Chubb had unfortunately broken his foot. As a result, Ford is now expected to be the Browns' undisputed starter moving forward. We've seen Ford perform admirably in a starting role in the past, and he proved it again in Week 15 when Chubb left the game. Ford scored the most fantasy points in a game this season against the Chiefs, and he's set to face the struggling Bengals next week. This matchup presents a great opportunity for him to shine. Expect him to be a top waiver wire addition in Week 16.

Kendre Miller, RB, New Orleans Saints (11% rostered)

Alvin Kamara had to leave the Saints' comeback attempt against the Commanders due to a groin injury. Kamara has been the Saints' main offensive force, so fantasy football managers need to closely monitor this injury situation. For now, Kendre Miller appears to be in line for an increased role in the New Orleans backfield. Miller showed some impressive burst in his limited playing time on Sunday. If Kamara misses time, Miller is ready to step up. The Saints have a relatively favorable rest-of-season schedule on the RB side, and Miller is another backfield RB that should be rostered in more leagues as insurance.
