Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 17 Rankings
|
1.
Patrick Mahomes
KC (vs . LAC)
Mahomes is our overall QB1 in an important game against a weak Chargers defense.
|
|
2.
Drew Brees
NO (at CAR)
The Saints are fighting for a first-round bye, so look for this Saints offense to come out and pick apart this Carolina defense. Brees is an easy QB1 option this week.
|
|
3.
Jameis Winston
TB (vs . ATL)
With Winston looking for a big payday this offseason, he will be motivated to end the season on a high note versus a defense that has been middle of the road against QBs over the past five weeks. Given this offense's pass-heavy scheme, Winston remains a QB1 this week.
|
|
4.
Matt Ryan
ATL (at TB)
Tampa has been much better against QBs recently, but this is still a terrible pass defense. Even if Ryan was out there with only Julio, I think he could pass for 200 yards. He is a QB1 this week.
|
|
5.
Dak Prescott
DAL (vs . WAS)
Dak certainly didn't look 100% last week, but this is likely his last chance to earn whatever amount of money he gets offered this offseason. Washington has allowed the third-most fantasy points to QBs over the past five weeks, and Dak is a QB1 option this week.
|
|
6.
Aaron Rodgers
GB (at DET)
This Detroit defense has been bad and the Packers need to win in order to solidify a bye next week. These stakes puts Rodgers on the QB1 radar, though he is towards the bottom of this tier, based on how well Green Bay is running the ball.
|
|
7.
Ryan Tannehill
TEN (at HOU)
Tannehill is a strong QB1 in a crucial game against a weak Texans pass defense.
|
|
8.
Carson Wentz
PHI (at NYG)
The Giants have surrendered the points points to QBs over the past five weeks, but the Eagles don't have much of a receiving corps. An offense that was already riddled with injuries will also be missing Zach Ertz this week. The matchup is great, but the lack of weapons makes Wentz a low end QB1.
|
|
9.
Tom Brady
NE (vs . MIA)
The Patriots are playing for their playoff positioning, so Brady is a low-end QB1 in a good matchup.
|
|
10.
Russell Wilson
SEA (vs . SF)
Surprisingly enough, the 49ers have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to QBs over the past five weeks, so this isn't as scary of a matchup as it initially seems. Still, if the Seahawks are unable to run the ball with their new group of RBs, this offense will have to completely change it's identity, which is tough to do at this point in the season. It's still Russell Wilson, so the upside is there, but he is a fringe QB1 this week.
|
|
11.
Daniel Jones
NYG (vs . PHI)
Daniel Jones had a five-touchdown performance last week, and now he faces a Philly secondary that has really struggled at times this year. The upside is sky high, and Jones is a fringe QB1 for this week.
|
|
12.
Jimmy Garoppolo
SF (at SEA)
Seattle has been middle of the road against QBs over the past five weeks and Jimmy G has been okay, but not great for the 49ers recently, He shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a QB2 with upside.
|
|
13.
Jared Goff
LAR (vs . ARI)
Goff put up over 400 yards against this defense the first time around. Now, he is playing at home and I'm sure he would like to end the season on a high note. With Arizona struggling to get a consistent pass rush, Goff should have a good day, making him a QB1.
|
|
14.
Andy Dalton
CIN (vs . CLE)
Dalton is a strong QB2 in a good matchup with the Browns in what could be his last game as a Bengal.
|
|
15.
Baker Mayfield
CLE (at CIN)
Mayfield is a strong QB2 against a weak Bengals defense.
|
|
16.
Gardner Minshew II
JAC (vs . IND)
Minshew is a decent QB2 option, but we'd advise looking elsewhere.
|
|
17.
Jacoby Brissett
IND (at JAC)
Brissett is a decent QB2 option with low-upside in Week 17.
|
|
18.
Philip Rivers
FA (BYE)
Rivers is a risky QB2 option against a Chiefs defense where he should be throwing, though for Rivers that likely means more turnovers.
|
|
19.
Drew Lock
DEN (vs . OAK)
Lock is an interesting streaming option against a very weak Raiders defense. Consider him a QB2.
|
|
20.
Mitch Trubisky
CHI (at MIN)
This Vikings defense is not what it used to be, and they will likely be resting some of their starters on top of it. It's a great opportunity for Trubisky to end the season on a high note, and he is a QB2 this week with upside.
|
|
21.
Ryan Fitzpatrick
MIA (at NE)
|
|
22.
Derek Carr
OAK (at DEN)
|
|
23.
Sam Darnold
NYJ (at BUF)
|
|
24.
Case Keenum
WAS (at DAL)
With Dwayne Haskins out with an ankle injury, Case Keenum is back at starter for Washington. Dallas has been bottom-10 against QBs over the past five weeks, putting Keenum in the QB2 conversation this week.
|
|
25.
Robert Griffin
BAL (vs . PIT)
|
|
26.
Kyler Murray
ARI (at LAR)
Murray is using his legs again, but this passing offense continues to struggle. Even if he plays, he is only a QB2.
|
|
27.
Deshaun Watson
HOU (vs . TEN)
|
|
|
28.
David Blough
DET (vs . GB)
David Blough continues to get sacked and continues to make mistakes. That isn't expected to change this week, facing a strong pass rush from the Packers. Avoid the Lions QB this week.
|
|
|
29.
Will Grier
CAR (vs . NO)
Grier did not look good in his debut last week, and there isn't much to look forward to with DJ Moore out this week. There is no need to play Grier.
|
|
|
30.
Devlin Hodges
PIT (at BAL)
|
|
31.
Josh Allen
BUF (vs . NYJ)
|
|
32.
AJ McCarron
HOU (vs . TEN)
|
|
33.
Matt Barkley
BUF (vs . NYJ)
|
|
34.
Kirk Cousins
MIN (vs . CHI)
The Vikings are expected to use Week 17 as their bye week, with Kirk Cousins likely to sit. This makes Sean Mannion the starter for Minnesota Sunday.
|
|
35.
Brett Hundley
ARI (at LAR)
|
|
36.
Sean Mannion
MIN (vs . CHI)
With Kirk Cousins reportedly sitting, Sean Mannion makes the start against the Bears defense. There is not reason to play him this week.
|
|
37.
Taysom Hill
NO (at CAR)
|
|
38.
Blake Bortles
LAR (vs . ARI)
|
|
|
39.
Trace McSorley
BAL (vs . PIT)
|
|
40.
Tyrod Taylor
LAC (at KC)
|
|
41.
Eli Manning
FA (BYE)
|
|
42.
Paxton Lynch
PIT (at BAL)
|
|
43.
Nick Foles
JAC (vs . IND)
|
|
44.
Ryan Griffin
TB (vs . ATL)
