I suppose there might be some people out there playing in Week 17, so I'll post my rankings below with three disclaimers:
1. These are very difficult to do this week, especially with so many teams resting players and trying some different things. FantasyPros doesn't include Week 17 in the accuracy competition because there's just too much variance and most fantasy leagues don't play this week.
2. These rankings will change a TON from now until Sunday as we find out which players will be rested, inactive, etc. So if you're using these for anything, check back around noon on Sunday for a final update.
3. There's a reason the vast majority of leagues don't include Week 17 in their fantasy playoffs. I can't imagine having someone like Travis Kelce for an entire season only for him to sit in the most important week for fantasy because his real life team has nothing to play for. If your league still includes Week 17, talk to your commish and get that changed ASAP.
So with that out of the way, let me just say that if you faced Alvin Kamara in Week 16 like I did in the championship in the main league I care about, I get it. It stinks. I put up the second most fantasy points this week of anyone in my league and lost to the guy who almost put up 200 fantasy points (with Kamara having over 1/4 of those points). Hey, it happens. I'm sure there are people out there who faced Kamara and still won. That could happen too. It's fantasy football and crazy stuff will happen. I hope you can have some perspective when it comes to fantasy football and just take it as it comes. You put your best lineup out there and you see what happens. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't. Hopefully you have fun doing it. I always do.
But now it's on to next year, right? FantasyPros already has their 2021 rankings tool up on the site, and I started on those today. I should have some early rankings out in the next couple of weeks, but for now, here are my Week 17 rankings with none of the usual commentary below it. I'll just post my betting picks below the rankings. As always, feel free to hit me up
on Twitter with any start/sit questions that can't be answered by the rankings. And as we get into the offseason, feel free to shoot me questions about the NFL Draft, free agency, etc. I'll be getting an article out with a preview on some of that stuff in a month or so.
And here are my Week 17 betting picks:
