Do you have something to play for in week 17? Maybe you just aren't ready to hang up your pads for the 2019 season and want to get in some DFS. Whatever your reason, week 17 is going to be as weird as usual. Here are some backfields to monitor as the weekend approaches. 

Mike Boone , RB MIN - The sure fire championship winning waiver add ended up in a three way rotation and game scripted out of his presumed role. He only logged 33% of the RB snaps. There's no telling what could happen week 17 with the injuries in the backfield. It's not a great spot for speculation. 

Gus Edwards , RB BAL - The Gus Bus is getting into gear after a Mark Ingram injury. Edwards is a natural replacement for Ingram and he's seen plenty of work all year. He saw 30 snaps compared to Justice Hill's 13. It's a gravy role in a top offense. 

Damien Williams , RB KC - We were reminded of why Williams was such a high draft pick this summer in the Chiefs-Bears game. He rushed for a solid 16-65 and went 3-27-1 through the air. His speed in the passing game is deadly. If he can keep earning about half of the KC snaps that's enough for his explosiveness to make an impact. 

Kerryon Johnson , RB DET - The coaching staff was true to their word about being smart with Johnson and his role upon returning from IR. He played 16 snaps and rushed 10 times for 42 yards. I'd expect a slight uptick in his work for this week. It's TD or bust for fantasy. 

Jordan Wilkins , RB IND - Marlon Mack had a day against the Panthers weak run defense (16-95-1) but Wilkins did plenty of damage himself (9-84-1). That efficiency could continue against Jacksonville. The Jaguars waived the white flag on 2019 weeks ago. 

Travis Homer, RB SEA - After Chris Carson was injured Homer absorbed most of his snaps. This is likely a footnote as Seattle has brought in both Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin to plug their backfield leaks. 

Matt Breida , RB SF - We talk about a 49er back every week. This week it's for a lack of work. Breida logged zero snaps the week after having a case of the fumbles. He could also be less than 100% healthy. It's hard to see him remain in Kyle Shanahan's doghouse but he's there for the moment. 

James Conner , RB PIT - Let this serve as your reminder not to pay a premium for Conner in 2020. His running style is super effective but just takes too big a toll on his body. Conner left this game after 9 snaps with a thigh injury.
