Championships will be won or lost in Week 17, which means it's critical to have the most up-to-date Week 17 Fantasy football rankings before setting your lineups. Who grabs the top spots in the Week 17 Fantasy football projections, and which overlooked players should factor into your Week 17 Fantasy football strategy? 

Before setting your Week 17 Fantasy football lineups for the 2023 NFL season, you NEED to see what SportsLine's advanced computer model has to say. 

When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking! That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.

Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 17 Fantasy football rankings.

For Week 17, we can tell you the model's top three running backs are Christian McCaffrey, Kyren Williams and Rachaad White. McCaffrey continues to be the most reliable running back after racking up over 130 all-purpose yards and a touchdown against the Ravens last week. Williams continued his stellar play with another productive performance against the Saints, rushing 22 times for 104 yards and a touchdown. White averaged just 2.0 yards per carry against the Jaguars, but he's scored a touchdown in seven of his last eight games. 

The model has also revealed its full projections at every position and is also calling for a SHOCKING quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 10 of its Fantasy football QB rankings, ahead of players like Tua Tagovailoa, Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.
