Welcome to Week 17 of The Worksheet, a fantasy football overview, by Rich Hribar.
For those that are new to this article, Week 17 is always a different kind of fantasy week with the majority of fantasy leagues wrapped up, players resting for the playoffs and over half of the league having absolutely nothing to play for. For those reasons, I always do a condensed version of this article every season, just to cover the ground for those who are in leagues that use Week 17 for their leagues still, as well as our last full slate of DFS.
As the author, it’s imperative that I note that this is an expectations-based column over a linear start/sit forum. The labels for each subset of players for each game is simply the vehicle for those expectations and have a different context for each player.
This article will be updated throughout the week to reflect major news or injury implications. I encourage that you use the game by game tables and data points here in conjunction with the player rankings that will be available every week this season on Thursdays and enjoy the games.
