Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide receiver

Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide receiver image

Week 16 saw a lot of busts from big name players like Adam Thielen, Michael Crabtree, Michael Thomas, Alshon Jeffrey and more, but it also saw a a lot of booms from players like Keelan Cole, Cooper Kupp, Stefon Diggs, Amari Cooper, Ted Ginn and other players that fantasy owners were on the fence about starting.  With the fantasy football championship on the line, we think things go back to normal in our Week 17 WR rankings.

Injury-wise, Antonio Brown will miss another game, so JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant (vs. Browns ) should have back-to-back solid weeks. With Marqise Lee also likely out, Dede Westbrook and Keelan Cole (@ 49ers) should do the same. The Drew Stanton-Larry Fitzgerald connection stayed strong, and it'll stay strong again, even against the Seahawks. Mike Evans finally had a game over 100 yards, but now fantasy owners might feel a little queasy going up against Marshon Lattimore and the Saints this week.

Luckily, we know the Lions' receivers won't be benched against a weak Packers secondary, but other non-playoff teams and playoff teams like the Chiefs, Eagles and Jaguars might take a rest on their starters, although the Jaguars players consist of guys still trying to prove themselves. Fantasy owners with players on those teams should check the gameplan on resting or not resting starters.

There's only one more week left in the season, which means only one more week of making the right start 'em, sit 'em decisions.  Our Week 17 WR rankings does its best to help you reach that coveted fantasy football championship.
