What Should We Do With JK Dobbins? | The Biggest Fantasy Football Questions for Week 17 (Ep. 1505)

Welcome to Championship Week! Our dynamic duo spends today's show examining the top spot-starts for the fantasy football finals. We kick things off by breaking down the latest news on the injuries to Aaron Jones (3:30), Ito Smith (4:52), and Todd Gurley (6:49), then dive into the potential return of Hunter Henry (7:29). The guys debate whether John Kelly (12:05) should be this week's top pickup. DaeSean Hamilton's (30:21) high target volume when he starts makes him a viable WR option and Robby Anderson (36:36) can be relied upon as a desperation play because of his upside. The show concludes with a few interesting rounds of fact or fiction (49:31).

Congratulations if you survived week 15 as we saw some players get injured early, while others simply left owners out in the cold. Things weren't ugly everywhere though, as Kenny Golladay re-emerged in a plus matchup (33:02) and Derrick Henry went off again (50:34). We're going game by game discussing key takeaways and more importantly, what we can expect from all the key players heading into the championship round for most fantasy leagues. What do we make of Kenyan Drake's lack of carries (5:06), what is Jamaal Williams' value moving forward (7:58), what happens with Damien Williams and Spencer Ware (9:19), can you trust players from struggling teams like the Browns (20:02), Bills (31:25),  Raiders, and Bengals (38:43)?

Justin MacMahan from Daily Fantasy Insider joins the gang for today's show where we share our favorite DFS cash game and GPP plays at each position. Josh Johnson's (12:18) rushing may provide him a solid enough floor for both cash game and GPP use and Aaron Jones' (23:55) talent and upside make him ideal for tournaments. Plus, Vernon Davis (45:31) still has a lot more gas left in the tank than you might think and Randall Cobb's (56:37) tasty DB matchup makes him an ideal tournament play. Lastly, can Zach Zenner (1:02:45) get enough touches to be a sneaky GPP option?

Joe Pisapia, author of the Fantasy Black Book series, hops in with us as we scour through our fantasy rankings and break down which borderline players should be given the nod in your lineups this week. If he plays, should you consider benching Odell Beckham (5:43) because of how banged up he is, is it worth seeing if lightning can strike twice with Derrick Henry (17:01), and is Courtland Sutton (31:22) finally ready to start producing as Denver's top wideout? Does Josh Reynolds (35:53) carry enough upside to make him a viable dart throw and who is the better QB streamer between Josh Allen (51:42) and Nick Foles (52:56)?

Justin Boone of theScore joins the guys today and together we share our top waiver wire adds of the week for each position. Damien Williams (7:36) deserves your attention as the probable leader of the Chiefs backfield if Spencer Ware sits, but are Derrick Henry and Jalen Richard (20:11) even better RB options if they are still available in your league? Has Curtis Samuel (33:59) become Carolina's top wideout, is Josh Allen (35:23) a streamer-worthy option against the Lions, and can fantasy owners trust Vernon Davis (46:47) this week?

Today, we analyze each game that took place before Sunday night to extract the most notable fantasy nuggets from them all. Should Derrick Henry's (6:31) outlook be adjusted after running wild on the Jaguars, are there any Packers receivers (23:07) who fantasy owners can trust outside of Davante Adams, and will Lamar Jackson (26:53) keep the Ravens' starting QB job if he's healthy? Should you actually consider benching Drew Brees (37:38) next week and just how impactful has moving to Dallas been for Amari Cooper's (54:58) value going into next season?

Matthew Freedman of FantasyLabs joins the crew today as we share our top DFS plays for both cash games and GPPs. Pittsburgh's run-friendly system and Jaylen Samuels' (9:27) receiving chops make it hard to stray from him. Is Justin Jackson (18:32) truly the lead back for the Chargers and what are his odds of scoring double-digit fantasy points (21:56)? DeAndre Hopkins (32:05) offers a fantastic combination of safety and upside for a lower price than other high-end options, Antonio Brown (36:09) might be set up to disappoint relative to his cost, and Jared Cook (50:58) figures to be a target hog with relatively low ownership.

We scour through our rankings and give you the lowdown on which guys you should bench or insert into your lineups. First, we tackle the Emmanuel Sanders (1:38) injury news and discuss who will benefit the most in Denver. Will the Steelers really employ a running back committee this week (10:29) and is Curtis Samuel (29:31) a lock or are Devin Funchess' involvement and Cam Newton's shoulder bug concerns? How will Mitchell Trubisky's return and a matchup with the Rams affect Trey Burton's production (45:15) and what are our bold predictions heading into Week 14 (51:58)?
