Here we are folks, Week 16!

For many of you this is Championship week and if you have made it this far, Congrats!

If you have Jason Babin, put him in the lineup this week. He took over the NFL sack lead last week and faces rookie Tyron Smith this week. Smith has been great, especially for a rookie. However, with Dallas’ running game limited, they are going to air it out a lot and Philly is going to dial up the pass rush. Babin is currently ranked 6th in our Week 16 DL Rankings.

I also would not hesitate to start Cliff Avril this week. He held the fort together while Suh was out and now with Suh back he has even less attention on him. He is facing a SD OL that has played well lately, but Avril should get through for a performance play or two.

DL Rank	Player Name	Vs	Comments
1	Jared Allen	WAS	Still can't knock him from the top spot. He has slowed down a bit, however
2	Jason Pierre-Paul	NYJ	He has been steady and finishes in the top-5 almost every week
3	Terrell Suggs	CLE
4	Chris Long	PIT	Pitt's OL was killed by Aldon Smith. Expect a nice game out of Long
5	Julius Peppers	GB
6	Jason Babin	DAL	The new NFL sack leader is on a ridiculous tear lately. He should keep it up
7	Chris Clemons	SF
8	Elvis Dumervil	BUF	He has come on strong the past quarter of the year and should have no problem owning the Buff OL
9	Trent Cole	DAL
10	Justin Smith	SEA
11	Cliff Avril	SD	He should only be helped by the return of Suh. Faces a rejuvenated SD OL that just handled the Ravens
12	Charles Johnson	TB
13	Jeremy Mincey	TEN
14	Calais Campbell	CIN	Well deserving of his new deal and should show it in this one
15	Haloti Ngata	CLE
16	Jabaal Sheard	BAL
17	Justin Tuck	NYJ
18	Greg Hardy	TB	With how crappy the TB offense has been, he could be in for a big game
19	Robert Mathis	HOU
20	Kyle Vanden Bosch	SD
21	Will Smith	ATL
22	John Abraham	NO	Tough matchup but coming off of a 3.5 sack effort and this one is in primetime. I think he gets a sack
23	Geno Atkins	AZ
24	Ahtyba Rubin	BAL
25	Adrian Clayborn	CAR
26	Michael Johnson	AZ	As his playing time has decreased, his production has increased. Weird
27	Darnell Dockett	CIN
28	Richard Seymour	KC
29	James Hall	PIT
30	J.J. Watt	IND	Should have a nice chance to get a sack against the inexperienced Colts OL and Orlovsky
31	Tommy Kelly	KC
32	Da'Quan Bowers	CAR
33	Robert Geathers	AZ	Big disappointment despite the playing time
34	Tyson Jackson	OAK
35	Robert Quinn	PIT	Still young and produces in spurts, but nice matchup this week
