Week 17 marks the final week in most season-long fantasy football contests, with championships and punishments on the line in many leagues. Lineup decisions are always important, but they take on some extra meaning this week. As you deliberate your start/sit decisions for Week 17, check out my top 30 Week 18 WR rankings to help you get just the right receivers in just the right spots to carry you to the win this week.

In Week 16, some big names posted big games to push their team to the next round. Puka Nacua (49.5 FPTS) was the top producer at wide receiver this week from Thursday Night Football, followed by Chris Olave (39.8 FPTS), Parker Washington (29.5 FPTS), George Pickens (29 FPTS) and Stefon Diggs (25.8 FPTS) as the top five receivers with over 25 fantasy points. Five more receivers have more than 12 fantasy points: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (23.6 FPTS), Quentin Johnston (23.4 FPTS), Ja’Marr Chase (22.9 FPTS), Zay Flowers (22.2 FPTS) and D.J. Moore (21.9 FPTS).
