Kansas City: So, here we are, folks! It’s the final week of the NFL season, and what a ride it’s been. Whether you’re in the fantasy championship or just playing for fun, remember, it’s all about the journey. But hey, winning is nice too! With games spread across the week, it’s going to be a wild Week 17. Let’s dive into some FLEX plays that could really help you out.
First up, Xavier Worthy. This guy is really stepping up just when we need him. He’s been getting a ton of snaps lately, and the Chiefs are looking to get him the ball. Facing a struggling Steelers secondary, he could be a game-changer this week.
Then there’s Rashod Bateman. He’s having a breakout season and has built a solid connection with Lamar Jackson. Even though he hasn’t seen a ton of targets lately, he’s been scoring touchdowns. This game could turn into a shootout, so keep an eye on him.
Gus Edwards is another name to consider. He had a solid game last week, and while I’m not just chasing points, he’s been getting a good share of touches. With J.K. Dobbins still out, he could be a reliable option for your lineup.
Don’t forget about Courtland Sutton. He’s had a couple of quiet games, but he’s up against a Bengals defense that’s been struggling. He’s close to hitting 1,000 yards for the season, so he’ll be motivated to bounce back.
Rachaad White is also worth mentioning. He’s been consistent and is still technically the starter. The Panthers’ defense has been generous to running backs, so he could have a big game.
Lastly, Darnell Mooney is back on track after a rough outing. With both him and Drake London close to 1,000 yards, they’ll be looking to make an impact against the Commanders. This game has playoff implications, so expect both teams to bring their A-game.
Enjoy the last week of the season, and good luck with your fantasy lineups!
