This is it. Week 17 is the championship round in the majority of Fantasy leagues, and you made it. Congratulations.
There's not much that I can tell you at this point in the season about strategy. You know what to do, and you know what works best for your Fantasy team.
Hopefully, your lineup is healthy and your players have great matchups. But we know that's not the case for everyone. Many of you have questions and concerns about players, and we'll help you with those final decisions.
This is the moment you've been waiting for, and you deserve to be in the championship. Now, go earn your trophy. Good luck.
D'Andre Swift has been tough to trust in the second half of the season. He's hurt more than helped Fantasy managers heading into Week 17, but he has the chance for a big game in the championship round against Arizona. I like Swift as a No. 1 running back in all leagues, and he's my Start of the Week.
Let's start with the flaws for Swift. He comes into Week 17 with only two games with more than 9.5 PPR points since Week 10. He has only two receptions for 1 yard in his past three games. And he loses every short-yardage touchdown opportunity to Jalen Hurts because of the tush push.
But last week Swift took advantage of a good matchup against the Giants with 20 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown. He also had 18 carries for 74 yards at Seattle in Week 15, along with the two catches on three targets, and the Eagles are trying to make more of an effort to run the ball. It only makes sense to take pressure off Hurts.
This week, Swift should go off against Arizona. The Cardinals are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. There have been 16 running backs with at least 12.7 PPR points against Arizona this season, including four with at least 19.1 PPR points in the past five games.
The Cardinals are playing back-to-back road games in Week 17 and have to travel to the East Coast for a 1 p.m. start. This should be a tired defense facing a motivated offense in the Eagles, who are still in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Swift has the chance to help Fantasy managers win a championship in Week 17. He's going to have one of his best games of the season against the Cardinals this week.

DST
Bills (vs. NE)
The Bills defense was a disappointment in Week 16 at the Chargers with no turnovers and 22 points allowed, although Buffalo had five sacks. This week, the Bills defense should perform better against the Patriots at home. Buffalo has 13 sacks in the past three home games against Denver, the Jets and Dallas, and the Bills held the Cowboys and Jets to 16 total points in their past two games in Buffalo.
Rams (at NYG)
Raiders (at IND)
Texans (vs. TEN)
Dolphins (at BAL)
The Ravens have scored at least 31 points in seven of their past nine games and only have two turnovers in the past five outings. The Dolphins DST is on fire right now with three touchdowns in the past five games, 10 sacks in the past two games and 20 points or less allowed in five of the past six outings, this should be a tough test on the road in trying to stop Lamar Jackson. This is a good week to avoid the Dolphins DST.
