Kudos to you if you play your Fantasy championship in Week 17, and hopefully all of your main starters are available. We know the Chiefs aren't playing Patrick Mahomes with the No. 1 seed in the AFC wrapped up, and the Steelers are also letting Ben Roethlisberger rest for the playoffs. There could be more players out in Week 17 because of playoff scenarios or injuries, so continue to monitor the news all week.
We'll try to help with any lineup decisions you might have, and best of luck if this is the big game for your Fantasy league. We usually recommend ending your Fantasy season in Week 16 to avoid these scenarios, but you're brave if your league still plays in this scoring period.
For those of you also here just for fun even though your Fantasy season is over, I want to thank you again for reading this column all year. Hopefully, the advice helped lead you to the playoffs and a Fantasy championship, and your loyalty means the world to us.
This has been a crazy year in the world and certainly a unique Fantasy season, but we made it. I hope 2021 is great for you overall, and I can't wait to start looking ahead to the upcoming season.
Our draft prep starts immediately, so keep an eye on all of our offseason coverage. We'll do our best to get you prepared for the 2021 campaign, and hopefully it will be a rewarding year in Fantasy and reality after what we all experienced in 2020.
Start 'Em & Sit 'Em
Antonio Gibson missed practice Wednesday with the toe injury that kept him out for two weeks prior to Week 16, but he's expected to play in a huge Week 17 game for Washington. The Athletic reported Wednesday that Washington offensive coordinator Scott Turner said Gibson can handle a heavier workload this week, so he should be ready to go against the Eagles.
Against the Panthers in Week 16, Gibson had 10 carries for 61 yards, along with three catches for 8 yards on four targets. Hopefully, Gibson can get 25 total touches like he had against the Cowboys in Week 12, was his last healthy game before Week 16. Washington should lean on Gibson as much as possible this week against the Eagles, who could be without Fletcher Cox (neck) and Derek Barnett (calf). Ezekiel Elliot just ran all over Philadelphia in Week 16 for 17 PPR points, and the Eagles have allowed a running back to score or gain over 100 total yards in six games in a row.
We'll see if Alex Smith (calf) plays in Week 17, but I'm confident in Gibson even if Taylor Heinicke starts at quarterback. Either one is an upgrade over Dwayne Haskins, who was released this week. Gibson has top-10 upside in this matchup, and he scored at least 12 PPR points in five games in a row before hurting his toe. He's also scored a touchdown in eight of the 12 games he's been able to finish this year.
I like J.D. McKissic as a starter in PPR this week as well, especially with Terry McLaurin (ankle) hurt. And you can consider McKissic as at least a flex option in non-PPR leagues. But this week should be all about Gibson.If Washington wins this game then the Football Team are NFC East champions. It would be an amazing story with Smith coming back from his leg injury, as well as coach Ron Rivera dealing with a form of skin cancer.
Gibson has been a big reason for Washington's success, and hopefully his rookie season ends on a high note. He has the chance for a big game against the Eagles, and Fantasy managers should start him with confidence this week.
