Week 17 DFS Cheat Sheet for FanDuel and DraftKings

December 29, 2017 by Kurt Turner

No matter if you are playing on FanDuel or headed into some weird week 17 fantasy football championship, you're probably wondering what teams are sitting starters. Which NFL teams have something to play for in week 17? Well I'm here to help with a complete list of players you need to start and teams that are resting starters. I'm not big on fluff, especially in week 17, so in typical fashion lets get to brass tacks.

Teams With Something to Play For / Playing to Win

  • New England Patriots
  • Baltimore Ravens
  • Tennessee Titans
  • Los Angeles Chargers
  • Buffalo Bills
  • Minnesota Vikings
  • Los Angeles Rams
  • New Orleans Saints
  • Carolina Panthers
  • Atlanta Falcons
  • Seattle Seahawks

Teams Possibly Limiting Reps in Week 17

  • Kansas City Chiefs
  • Philadelphia Eagles
  • LA Rams
  • Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Jacksonville Jaguars
  • Chicago Bears
  • Green Bay Packers
  • Miami Dolphins
  • New York Giants

Teams I like with nothing to play for

  • Detroit Lions vs a packed up ready to go home Packers. The Lions are not a sexy pick if these guys are out - Travis Swanson (concussion, questionable), guard T.J. Lang (ankle, questionable), and right tackle Ricky Wagner (ankle, questionable)
  • San Francisco 49ers vs a packed up Rams resting starters for the playoffs.

My Personal DFS Player Pool for FanDuel and DraftKings

Wide Receiver

  1. Brandin Cooks
  2. Julio Jones
  3. T.Y. Hilton
  4. Jamison Crowder
  5. Marvin Jones
  6. Ginn or Thomas (NO) - Thomas worries me with the hammy and they will be running a lot.
  7. D Thomas (great matchup vs team resting starters - terrible QB and O-LINE worries me)
  8. Marquise Goodwin
  9. Keenan Allen
  10. AJ Green at low ownership - The Ravens ball control offense will limit his targets. Nevertheless, AJ could have a better than normal showing if the Bengals let loose with nothing to lose.

 

Quarterback

  1. Jacoby Brissett
  2. Kirk Cousins
  3. Tom Brady
  4. Matthew Stafford
  5. Philip Rivers
  6. Jimmy Garoppolo
  7. Russell Wilson (if you got big balls.. they are in a must win game and he IS the SEA offense)
  8. Cam Newton
  9. Matt Ryan

Running Back

  1. Alex Collins
  2. Mark Ingram
  3. Alvin Kamara
  4. Kenyan Drake
  5. Dion Lewis
  6. Derrick Henry
  7. Ezekiel Elliott (Jerry said they may limit starters - HC said they wont?)
  8. Christian McCaffrey
  9. Latavius Murray - if he rushes for over 169 yards he earns a bonus 1 million dollars.
  10. LeSean McCoy
  11. C Hyde
  12. Jamaal Williams (if Jones sits - plus matchup - keep ownership low - better on DK)

TE

  1. Gronk - has multiple contract escalators in this game.
  2. A Gates
  3. Charles Clay
  4. B Watson
  5. G Olsen
  6. Jack Doyle
  7. Vernon Davis
  8. Vance McDonald

Defense

MIN
BAL
SEA
PIT

Kicker

Justin Tucker
Wil Lutz
Matt Prater
Matt Bryant
Kai Forbath
