Season’s greetings and all that jazz! And what a gift we have this week. The fantasy football championship is just around the corner, but unlike most weeks, we’re only answering one question. Who should I stream this week to get me to that fantasy football title?
To keep things simple, we’ll define a streamer as any player you wouldn’t normally pick up and who is a viable option this week. They may be on your bench or they may be on waivers depending on your league.
QB streamers:
Trevor Lawrence (JAC): The Rise of Trevor Lawrence is finally here! The former No. 1 pick sat out much of his rookie contract, but he arrived this month. Lawrence has put up 75 fantasy points over the last two weeks. That’s despite facing a mid-major Jets defense and a strong Broncos secondary. This week it gets even better. The Jaguars face a Colts defense that has outgained Brock Purdy by five scores and about 300 yards. He’s a must-start in your fantasy finale.
Caleb Williams (CHI): He’s looked hard to trust over the past month, but four consecutive bottom-ten matchups will make any player look mediocre. He’s still a Top 10 quarterback of the year and now faces an assaulted 49ers defense. He is a viable stream who has been dropped in many leagues.
Others: Brock Purdy, Tyler Shough and Jaxson Dart
RB streamers:
Rhamondre Stevenson (NE): The Jets have struggled mightily against the run this season and now face a rampant Patriots offense. With TreVeyon Henderson highly doubtful this week (but will definitely start him if he plays), Rhamondre Stevenson becomes a very valuable asset for Week 17.
Tony Pollard (TEN): Over the last three weeks, Tony Pollard has racked up 467 rushing yards and three touchdowns. That’s despite facing three tough defenses. Things get easier this week, against a Saints team that was strong against the pass but more generous against the run. It could be another big day for the veteran back. Just understand the high risk here.
Blake Corum (LAR): The Rams have rested Kyren Williams to keep him fresh for the playoffs. This has led to Blake Corum getting nearly half of the Rams’ snaps, especially in dominant wins. With LA as 8.5 point favorites, Corum is a viable option if you are struggling with injuries.
WR streamers:
DJ Moore (CHI): After 14 weeks of futility, DJ Moore has finally emerged in the past two games, with 166 yards and three scores. He’ll have a solid matchup against the 49ers and, assuming Luther Burden and Rome Odunze stay out, Moore is off to a strong start for Week 17.
Deebo Samuel (WAS): He hasn’t been able to start since his bye week, but with the Cowboys in town, Deebo Samuel is finally a viable starter for your fantasy championship. He has high upside and high risk for week 17.
Parker Washington (JAC): Let’s dig a little deeper. Parker Washington is starring in a Liam Coen attack, and we know how valuable that can be. He has recorded at least 17 PPR points in four of his last seven games and will have a big game against the Colts. I feel comfortable streaming it in my big match.
TE streamers:
Juwan Johnson (NO): Juwan Johnson has 33 targets in his last five games and faces an offensive Titans defense in Week 17. He’s not off to a strong start, but there aren’t many tight ends who can give you 8 PPR points and in this landscape that’s very valuable.
Jake Ferguson (DAL): The Commanders have given up the top five points to tight ends this season. Although Jake Ferguson is stuck behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, he has a lot of upside in this game in a down week at the position.
K streamers:
Andy Borregales (NE): The best kicker matchup in the league is the Jets, and Andy Borregales gets that juicy opportunity this week. He is a lock-and-load option for a league title.
Charlie Smyth (NO): Let’s go deeper and find someone who is available in the vast majority of leagues. Charlie Smyth gets a top game in the Titans after his K1 finish last week. There’s no reason to think he can’t support it.
Daylight Savings Streamers:
Detroit Lions DST (DET): The Vikings introduce Max Brosmer in Week 17. Eeeeek. There’s only one side of this fight I want, and that’s the defensive side. Start Lions Daylight Saving Time.
New Orleans Saints DST (NO): This was my DST pick from last week and they finished as DST1. I’m bringing it back against the struggling Titans offense. The Saints are a solid start to your championship week.
