If there was ever a time and place to start playing daily fantasy football this is the time and Draft Kings is the place.We have been playing for years over at Draft Kings and let's just say that this was a very merry holiday season for the entire Fantasy Alarm crew. Whether you won your league championship this season or didn't even make the playoffs there is still plenty of time (about four more weekends to be exact) to make this the greatest fantasy football season ever!!Here is the DFS NFL Playbook for Week 17:
The final regular season DFS NFL Playbook of the regular season but do not fear my faithful friends. We will continue to churn out DFS NFL Playbooks throughout the NFL Postseason as there are plenty of opportunities to win big money throughout January.
This week I am trying to stay away from teams and players that have little or nothing to play for in week 17. I absolutely love the Panthers/Falcons game and feel like the Giants/Eagles could be high scoring as well. Remember that if Jamaal Charles is out this week (he is currently questionable), than Knile Davis becomes a must play at RB or FLEX.
Here is the DFS NFL Playbook for Week 17:
QUARTERBACK
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Matt Ryan | Falcons | 7,700 | 8,800 | Playing at home for division title with healthy WR's |
Cam Newton | Panthers | 7,500 | 8,300 | An inspired Cam is wonderful for fantasy output |
Jay Cutler | Bears | 7,400 | 7,500 | Put up 330 yards & 3 TDs in week 11 against Vikings |
Mark Sanchez | Eagles | 6,700 | 7,400 | Playing for his future in high scoring offense Vs below avg DST |
RUNNING BACK
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Arian Foster | Texans | 7,900 | 8,600 | Texans to lean on run & Jags give up 5th most poiints to RB's |
C.J. Anderson | Broncos | 7,000 | 8,300 | Broncos must win & Raiders give up 2nd most points to RB's |
Justin Forsett | Ravens | 6,200 | 6,900 | Browns give up 2nd most yards against the run |
Matt Asiata | Vikings | 5,000 | 6,400 | TD machine should have plenty of success against Bears |
Rashad Jennings | Giants | 4,500 | 6,500 | Probable & will carry load if Andre Williams is out or limited |
Knile Davis | Chiefs | 3,500 | 5,100 | Absolute must play if Jamaal Charles is ruled out |
WIDE RECEIVER
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Odell Beckham Jr. | Giants | 9,600 | 9,200 | Hottest WR in NFL Vs terrible defensive secondary |
Antonio Brown | Steelers | 8,500 | 8,900 | The surest thing in all of fantasy football |
Kelvin Benjamin | Panthers | 6,200 | 7,400 | Has burned me before but matchup is too good to ignore |
Mike Wallace | Dolphins | 5,600 | 7,400 | Low ownership against Jets weak DB's |
Vincent Jackson | Buccaneers | 5,500 | 6,500 | Most will go for Mike Evans here but V-Jax has been hot |
Mohamed Sanu | Bengals | 4,000 | 6,000 | If A.J. Green is limited, Sanu will shine Vs Steelers |
Hakeem Nicks | Colts | 4,000 | 5,500 | Nicks to see the most playing time of anyone on Colts offense |
Cecil Shorts | Jaguars | 3,200 | 5,200 | Very cheap option against 31st ranked DST Vs WR's |
TIGHT END

Houston | Texans | 3,200 | 5,400 | J.J. Watt & company will tear Jags offense apart |
Miami | Dolphins | 3,100 | 4,900 | Geno Smith is always good for a few turnovers |
Washington | Redskins | 2,300 | 4,600 | Cowboys may rest Romo, Murray & Dez late in this game |
