Welcome to Week 17 of The Worksheet, a fantasy football overview, by Rich Hribar.

Happy New Year!

We have reached the final week of the 2020 regular season. 

Let me take a moment to thank everyone for this season. 2020 was a tough year for really all of humanity, but being able to enjoy and share a football season that we had no idea would even fully happen was a small escape for many.

I am particularly thankful for all of you who went on this journey through the 2020 season through the work that I have put out this year. 2020 was a year where I put over 400 total articles on this website. Covering games, game theory and draft strategy, player movement, rookies, and more. Some providing excellent results, and some falling flat on my face. Hopefully, I helped the majority along the way enjoy the season in some capacity, but even if you clicked on one article or all of them, I am thankful for your support. Happy New Year and here is to an even better 2021!

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. There are no Thursday or Monday night games in Week 17, so we close things out with a full Sunday. 

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 each Wednesday and enjoy the games.
