Welcome to the Industry Expert Consensus picks for Week 16 of the NFL season. As always, if you want to see how the experts performed last week check out my Week 15 Industry Expert Grading column and the Industry Expert Standings for all experts. The Consensus picks remain near the middle of the pack in the overall standings.
Not as many experts with picks this week due to the holidays. I will also not be writing the additional commentary for each player this week. Hope everyone is having a good holiday.
As a reminder, the number in the parenthesis is the number of experts that chose that player so you have more context regarding the gaps between players and the tiers.
