As we approach Week 17 of the NFL season, fantasy football players are tightening their strategies in hopes of securing a championship title. One key storyline to watch is Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who is fighting to maintain his impressive streak of 1,000 receiving yards for each season since 2014. With only one week left in the regular season, every catch counts for Evans and his fantasy managers.

In this week’s rankings, prominent expert Justin Boone, who previously topped the FantasyPros Most Accurate Expert Competition in 2019, provides his insights. His rankings, updated throughout the weekend, are critical for fantasy players looking to make last-minute adjustments.

Here are important rankings to consider for Week 17:

Quarterbacks:

Top QB options could include Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Justin Herbert, each facing defenses that may allow for significant yardage.

Running Backs:

Look out for standout performances from stars like Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekeler, who have consistently delivered valuable points. Also, keep an eye on injury updates; players like Saquon Barkley could swing the rankings based on their health status.

Wide Receivers:

Evans remains a must-start despite the pressure. Other notable receivers to watch are Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams, both of whom boast explosive potential.

Tight Ends:

Travis Kelce continues to be a dominant force at the tight end position, while breakout candidates like T.J. Hockenson can provide valuable depth to your fantasy roster.

Defense:

Prioritize defenses with favorable matchups, such as the San Francisco 49ers, who might capitalize on weak offensive lines.

Kickers:

Don't overlook the importance of a solid kicker. Players like Justin Tucker and Matt Gay have shown consistent performance throughout the season, making them reliable choices.

Flex Options:

Consider players who have had a resurgence or critical role in recent weeks — names like Amon-Ra St. Brown can add unforeseen value to your flex position.

Stay tuned for more updates as official rankings will be released on Saturday and Sunday, giving you the most current data to help navigate the fantasy playoffs.
