Booms and Busts: Week 16 provides old-school path to fantasy title games with RBs leading the way

Are you advancing to the finals of your fantasy football league? If so, there's a good chance you did it the old-fashioned way — through the backfield.

When the early slate of games closed on Sunday, the top of the running back leaderboard was littered with signature performances. Jonathan Taylor made up for last week's regrettable gaffe, romping for 218 yards and three touchdowns for 39.8 fantasy points against the Titans. Chuba Hubbard (30.5 fantasy points) was right behind Taylor on the scoresheet, with 152 rushing yards and two scores, including the walk-off touchdown to defeat Arizona in overtime.
