Fantasy football rankings: 2021 NFL Week 17 projections from proven model that outperformed experts

Before setting your Week 17 Fantasy football lineups for the 2021 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.

Last week, the model was extremely high on Rams running back Sony Michel, ranking him as a top-15 player at his position. The result: Michel recorded 27 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a HUGE week.

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

One player the model is high on this week: Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, who has a mouthwatering matchup against the Lions. And a massive shocker: Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who threw for 525 yards and four touchdowns last week, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 15 at his position! He's a player to consider leaving on the bench.

The model is also calling for an under-the-radar quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 10 of its Fantasy football rankings! 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.

So who should you start and sit in Week 17? And which surprising quarterback could lead you to victory? ... Join SportsLine now to get Fantasy football rankings for every single position, and see which shocking QB comes out of nowhere to crack the top 10, all from the model that has out-performed experts big-time!
