Do you have tough lineup decisions to make Sunday in the fantasy football championship? I’ve got you covered.
Welcome to your one-stop shop for Week 17 fantasy football start/sit advice. In this article, I’ll highlight one pick from each of my positional start ’em, sit ’em articles for this week’s slate. Check out each article for a deeper dive into that position!
Running Back
Start ‘Em: Jerome Ford (Browns) vs. Dolphins
Ford was my start of the week at running back last Sunday, as I deemed him a potential league-winner.
After his performance against the Bengals, it seems that prediction may be coming to fruition. The third-year back took his 16 touches for 131 yards and a touchdown, making it the second consecutive week he’s scored at least 18 PPR points. With Cleveland’s quarterback room in disarray, the Browns should heavily feature Ford again on Sunday.

Wide Receiver
Sit ‘Em: Jerry Jeudy (Browns) vs. Dolphins
With Jameis Winston under center in Cleveland, Jeudy’s full potential as a receiver was finally realized, as the 25-year-old put up WR1 numbers on a consistent basis.
With Cleveland making the change to Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Jeudy is now virtually unplayable. That’s not the fifth-year receiver’s fault, it’s just the unfortunate reality of the Browns’ offense with DTR as the signal caller. Jeudy saw his targets drop from 14 against Kansas City with Winston at QB to just three against a vulnerable Bengals defense.
He cannot be trusted in lineups against a strong Dolphins secondary.

Tight End
Start ‘Em: Hunter Henry (Patriots) vs. Chargers
While Rhamondre Stevenson can’t be trusted in lineups against the Chargers, you can fire up Drake Maye’s safety blanket as a solid TE1. Henry has seen at least eight targets in four of his last five outings, racking up 13.9 PPR points in Week 16 thanks to a touchdown against Buffalo.
New England’s running game can’t be trusted, but Maye has been allowed to let it loose through the air a bit more as of late. He should look to his trusted No. 1 target early and often against L.A.
