Fantasy Football: Week 17 Rankings

SANTA CLARA, CA - DECEMBER 24: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (10) looks to throw the football during an NFL game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on December 24, 2017 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire)

One last hurrah together? Fear not fantasy, football fans, the weekly rankings will continue throughout the playoffs. As for Week 17, however, it’s a very scarce week, particularly in the running back and wide receiver department, as several teams look to rest their starters. One more week of brilliance could see Jimmy Garoppolo enter the Top 10 quarterback discussion ahead of next season, though … wouldn’t that be a plot twist!? And meanwhile, we do welcome back Ezekiel Elliott for what feels like the three thousandth time this season. Anyway, here’s your weekly rankings:
