As we roll into my Week 17 wide receiver rankings, or in other words, this is championship week. This is what we’ve all been waiting for, and I will be your key to winning your league. If you have Puka Nacua on your team, it looks like he will be a lock for at least 25 fantasy points with Davante Adams out. Chris Olave is another one who came alive in Week 16 and has a great matchup against the Titans this week. However, if you are still holding onto Emeka Egbuka, Brian Thomas Jr., or Deebo Samuel Sr., it looks like they are droppable at this point.

Wide Receiver Notes
- Let’s start with George Pickens as my WR6 going against the Commanders. Pickens has a great matchup this week and should pick up where he left off last week. Before this week, he went for 130 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions. He will eat up this Commander’s defense this week as they are giving up 28.9 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That is the seventh most in the league.
- Next, I have Michael Wilson as my WR16 against the Bengals. Wilson’s targets dropped dramatically with Marvin Harrison Jr. back, but Wilson still outperformed. Wilson went for 52 yards and a touchdown on two catches. Not his best week, but in his last three games, he has four touchdowns. In those three weeks, Wilson has three receptions and three touchdowns in the red zone. That is right behind Trey McBride’s four receptions and two touchdowns. This matchup isn’t the best this week as the Bengals’ secondary is tough, but you have to run with the hot hand.
- Lastly, I have Egbuka as my WR35 going against the Dolphins. It is a shame that Egbuka has fallen off, as he was a top fantasy receiver in the first half of the season. But now that Mike Evans is back, Egbuka is droppable. In the last two weeks, Mike Evans has 21 targets, followed by Chris Godwin Jr. with 11 and Egbuka with nine. That is not going to cut it for the championship round.
