Those who are still able to make Week 17 Fantasy football picks means you're in your Fantasy football playoffs and likely playing for the championship. Thus, there will be more time agonizing over Fantasy football start/sit decisions and who to insert into your Week 17 Fantasy football lineups than ever before and for good reason. The likes of Trevor Lawrence, Blake Corum, Michael Wilson and Colby Parkinson have excelled in recent weeks after being on the bubble as Fantasy football picks all year. Should you consider riding them during the most important week of the season?

Meanwhile, Breece Hall, Emeka Egbuka and Michael Pittman Jr. have seen their stats plummet recently, making their owners wonder what the Week 17 Fantasy football projections forecast for them. That's one of the dilemmas that many will face this week -- whether to ride the hot hands or stick with the players who helped get them to the Fantasy football playoffs, despite recent slumps. Thus, having sage Fantasy football advice is a must for Week 17.

Before setting your Fantasy football lineups, you NEED to see the Week 17 Fantasy football rankings from SportsLine's advanced computer model. 

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.

One player the model is high on this week: Rams tight end Colby Parkinson, despite him being the TE22 on the season and being started in just 38% of leagues this week. And a massive shocker: Jags wideout Brian Thomas Jr., a Pro Bowler last year who finished third in the NFL in receiving yards, may not warrant a spot in Week 17 Fantasy football lineups. Thomas sits outside the top 30 in wide receiver rankings ahead of a matchup with the Colts!

The model is also calling for a SHOCKING quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 8 of its Week 17 Fantasy football rankings, even slotted ahead the likes of Josh Allen 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.
