Narrative:
As per the ATIS we were expecting the visual; ILS; or the RNAV rnp to RWY16R. I had briefed the visual backed up by the ILS. When we checked in with approach we were told to expect the RNAV 16R. Using good teamwork and CRM we set up said approach. After a few minutes of setup I briefed the RNAV approach; I confirmed IAF clfff at 11;000 ft on the FMS and LNAV and VNAV pth on the FMA but I didn't properly vvm [verbalize; verify; monitor] the rest of the approach on the FMS; as we crossed clfff and did not start descending we realized something was not set up properly. At this time we had RWY16R in sight. We realized our oversight and began a turn so as to stay on the course; just as we were going to call the field in sight the controller told us to turn to a heading and descend to 8;000 ft. Shortly thereafter he cleared us for the visual. We landed without incident.
