Welcome back, fantasy footballers! We’re here for Week 17 of Sit/Start, where I, Jay Felicio, will take you on a journey through every game to break down every fantasy-relevant player to let you know which ones will lead you to victory and which ones will bust your lineup. It’s finally championship week, and we’re here to run through the key stats and matchups that will help your teams bring home that oh-so-coveted trophy (and more importantly, bragging rights for the next year). I’ll be taking into consideration opportunities, matchups, and plenty of data to help you find the best plays to make every week. As always, you can check out my list of weekly rankings (now with extra rankings from additional writers!) to complement these sit/start recommendations.
Some quick notes before you jump in:
- Remember, sits/Starts and Rankings are not set in stone. They are tools to guide you, not rules to follow blindly. Use them to shape your own decisions and make the best lineup adjustments for your team. Good Matchups are great, but getting too cute can cost you the week. Ask yourself this: “Am I going to feel more tortured by benching player X and him going off, or not playing player Y?”
- Have fun, talk trash, and win your matchups. If you don’t, there’s always next week.
Let’s dive in and earn that spot in the championship!
