Week 17 Fantasy Football: Who to Start or Sit?

In the final stretch of the fantasy football season, some unexpected names are rising to the top. Tyler Shough, who has been on a hot streak, is now a viable option for your lineup. He has scored 17 or more fantasy points in his last four games, making him a low-end QB1 this week. Meanwhile, Caleb Williams has been inconsistent as a passer, so he's better suited as a high-end QB2. Justin Herbert had a great game last week, but his matchup against the Texans this week is tough, so he's a midrange QB2. Running backs are always a key position in fantasy football. Kenneth Walker III had a big game last week, but his performance has been inconsistent this season. He's a low-end RB2 this week. Michael Carter is now the lead back for the Cardinals, and he has a favorable matchup against the Bengals, making him a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3. Tony Pollard has been on a roll, with three straight 100-yard rushing games, and he's a midrange RB2 this week. Kenneth Gainwell has been a reliable option in the passing game, and he's a low-end RB2 this week. Breece Hall has been struggling, and he's a midrange RB3 this week.Wide receivers are another crucial position. Zay Flowers has been on fire, with his three highest fantasy point totals in his last three games. He's a midrange WR2 this week. Terry McLaurin's value depends on who starts at quarterback for the Commanders. If Josh Johnson starts, McLaurin is a high-end WR3. DJ Moore has been a top performer recently, and he's a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 this week. Marvin Harrison Jr. is still working his way back from injury, and he's a low-end WR3 this week. Emeka Egbuka's snap count has been decreasing, and he's a low-end WR3 or high-end WR4 this week. At tight end, Dallas Goedert has a tough matchup against the Bills, but he's still a midrange to low-end TE1. Taysom Hill has seen an increase in workload due to injuries, and he's a high-end TE2 with upside this week.
