**UPDATED: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29 @ 11:20 AM EST**

Welcome to the NFL DFS Rankings for Week 17!

If you've been waiting for the updates to the DFS Rankings, here they are. With the way news was breaking Thursday and teams finally deciding to sit players, I wanted to make sure I had the most updated information before I started ranking players. Losing guys like Ben Roethlisberger and Le'Veon Bell now has an impact on what we expect from the Patriots and coaches were still deciding on what to do about playoff seeding versus protecting their players from injury. There are still going to be bits of news that creep out throughout the say Friday, so be prepared for some last-minute twists.

If you've been keeping up with the Week 17 DFS Watch List, you'll see the latest news affecting which players I am on this week and which ones I am avoiding. Not going to be an easy week, that's for sure, so again, I'm focusing the majority of my attention on players who have something to play for this week.

Good luck and let's CRUSH it in DFS again this week!
