My Fantasy Football Week 17 Tips
AFC East:
Start- LeSean McCoy (RB) Buffalo Bills
If LeSean McCoy really wants to leave Buffalo he could do that in 2018. LeSean McCoy has been a straight up beast this year and his practically the reason why the Bills still have a shot in making the playoffs this year. I would start LeSean this week against the Dolphins becuase their running defense is not the best and LeSean wants to get back in the playoffs as he told the NFL on CBS so expect him to ball out and get you a good bit of fantasy points.
Bench- Jermaine Kearse (WR) New York Jets
I don't like the fact that Bryce Petty is throwing the ball to Jermaine Kearse. The fact that Petty had a tough time against the Chargers defense at home is not good whatsoever and I don't think Petty will do good at New England against the Patriots second string defense so don't expect Petty to make a lot of completions especially to Jermaine Kearse.
AFC North
Start- Alex Collins (RB) Baltimore Ravens
Alex Collins has a chance to make the playoffs and Collins has shown that he has the capability to run over defenses and I expect to do well if the Ravens want to make it into the playoffs.
Bench- Andy Dalton (QB) Cincinnati Bengals
Yeah I don't like Dalton facing the Ravens at Baltimore where the Ravens will play their hearts out. I can see Dalton being banged up a lot in this game so I would not start him specifically.
AFC South
Start- T.Y. Hilton (WR) Indianapolis Colts
Hilton wants to end the 2017 NFL season very good and the fact that he is facing the Texans defense at his place is very good and can make some splash plays. The fact that the Texans had Steelers WR's JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant bully their secondary is not good and Hilton can bully their secondary as well on Sunday.
Bench- Leonard Fournette (RB) Jacksonville Jaguars
Fournette might play a quarter at the most because their is no way the Jaguars want to see their star running back get hurt and not play in the playoffs and besides the Jaguars don't have anything to play for since they are locked in as the number three seed in the AFC.
AFC West
Start- Patrick Mahomes ll (QB) Kansas City Chiefs
I fell Mahomes ll has a lot to play for in this meaningful game for him. If he does very well on Sunday he'll definitely start for the Chiefs in the 2017 season with no question at all and doesn't have to compete for the starting job. He knows he won't have Tyreek Hill or Travis Kelce but I feel he'll find a way to win with the weapons around him.
Bench- Amari Cooper (WR) Oakland Raiders
Amari has just been plain old bad this season except for that game against the Chiefs in Week 17. I expect the Chargers secondary to shut him down and make him do so bad that the Raiders might think about trading him this offseason and the Chargers have a lot to play for and I even CB Casey Hayward to find a way and not let Raiders WR Michael Crabtree to touch the ball as much either.
NFC East
Start- Kirk Cousins (QB) Washington Redskins
It's not Kirk Cousins fault the Redskins didn't have a good record. But I expect Kirk to play well so other teams will see how well he can play and he can get signed by another team. He is also facing the Giants defense which is struggling and Eli Apple will not play for the Giants this week which is even better for Cousins.
Bench- Alshon Jeffery (WR) Philadelphia Eagles
Since the Eagles clinched the number one seed I don't expect Jeffery to play more than a half in the game against the Cowboys on Sunday.
NFC North
Start- Minnesota Vikings Defense
The Vikings defense knows that if they want to succeed in the playoffs the first thing they have to do is whoop the Chicago Bears offense meaning not letting Jordan Howard rush for many yards and making Mitchell Trubisky have the worst game of his life. The fact that the Vikings still need to play to clinch home field advantage shows that the Vikings have something to play for and I think they'll get the job done.
Bench- Jordan Howard (RB) Chicago Bears
I just think the Vikings defense will shut him down and it's not like if he has a bad game that they'll run him out of Chicago anyway. Besides Howard could've made the Pro Bowl.
NFC South
Start- Devin Funchess (WR) Carolina Panthers
The fact that Cam Newton hasn't thrown the ball that much to Funchess lately and still able to have a 11-4 record is pretty awesome. This is the time for Funchess to have a break out game as he needs to get it going for the playoffs and I feel he'll get it going.
Bench- DeSean Jackson (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Yeah Defensive Back Marshon Lattimore will just shut him down simple as that.
NFC West
Start- Russell Wilson (QB) Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson will treat this game as a Super Bowl game and play till he drops. Russell Wilson will give you fantasy owners the points you need as he hasn't disappointed fantsay owners at all this season.
Bench- Rams Defense
Jimmy G of the 49ers will have his way and end the season with a 5-0 record as the 49ers starter the Rams will have to play the Wild Card game anyway. They probably wish to be the number 4 seed cause if they win the Wild Card game their is a 50/50 chance they could go to Philadelphia and I think the Rams would rather go to Philadelphia instead of maybe Minnesota, if they win, cause the Rams got smacked when they played in Minnesota earlier this season.
