Overview

In this article, we discuss the wide receivers you should consider starting and those best left on the bench for Week 17 of the fantasy football season.

Players to Start

• Drake London (ATL): Coming off an injury, he is likely to bounce back against the Rams, who allow significant points to receivers.
• DJ Moore (CHI): Solid weekly projections against the San Francisco defense.
• Jauan Jennings (SF): Has been consistent and should be utilized against the Chicago Bears.
• Terry McLaurin (WAS): Good matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, despite the quarterback situation.
• Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG): Facing the Raiders offers a favorable matchup.
• Stefon Diggs (NE): Explosive player with high projections against the Jets.
• Jaylen Waddle (MIA): Expected to perform well against a struggling Buccaneers defense.
• Christian Watson (GB): Should excel against the Ravens regarding fantasy points against receivers.
• Brian Thomas Jr. (JAC): A good option in deeper leagues against the Colts.
• Troy Franklin (DEN): Should step up in a larger role with a teammate out.
• Josh Downs (IND): Good opportunity to shine with the starting quarterback back.
• Tre Tucker (LV): Worth considering as a third option in deeper leagues.
• Justin Jefferson (MIN): A risk but has potential against the Lions.
• Khalil Shakir (BUF): Only a low-end play in a tough matchup against the Eagles.
• Emeka Egbuka (TB): Limited usage makes him a gamble against Miami.
• Quentin Johnston (LAC): Faces strong opposition and is not recommended for starting this week.
