Heading into Week 16, fantasy football owners have some clear choices for their running backs. Let's take a look at who's on top.

James Conner, a seasoned veteran for the Arizona Cardinals, is a must-start. He's been crushing it, with huge games in the past few weeks. The Panthers defense, however, might give him a run for his money. They've been allowing a lot of rushing yards and touchdowns. But Conner could still shine, especially if the Cardinals stick to their game plan.

James Cook from the Buffalo Bills is another solid pick. He's been putting up top-tier numbers, and facing the Patriots again could keep that momentum going. The Patriots have been giving up lots of rushing yards, so Cook might have another big game.

Aaron Jones from the Minnesota Vikings is a good bet for Week 16. He's been performing well, and the Seahawks defense hasn't been great at stopping the run. Jones could easily rack up over 100 yards from scrimmage.

Lastly, D'Andre Swift from the Detroit Lions is a reliable choice. He's had a good matchup against the Lions defense before, and with their recent injuries, he might do even better.

These runners are definitely worth considering for your playoff lineup. But remember, injuries and game plans can always shake things up.
