Fantasy football rankings for Week 17: Playing for all the marbles
This is it. Fantasy football championship week is finally here.
This season, perhaps more than any other, has been one centered around a “survival of the fittest” mentality. And as such, many fantasy managers may be starting players this week they would never have believed could help them win a title.
Fantasy football rankings for Week 17 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by FantasySharks.com.
