Week 17 in NFL DFS is about finding the best opportunities for guaranteed production with a high upside. Follow my stud and value GPP plays and lock in the NFL DFS Picks of Destiny.
David Jones won 100K on FanDuel! Read about it here!
David also won back-to-back GPPs!
QB1: Patrick Mahomes ($8,600 FD)
The Chiefs need to win this game. They are at home and get a terrible Chargers team to pick on. All of Mahomes receivers are healthy and all of his running backs catch passes. He has thrown two touchdowns in each of the past two games and has looked more comfortable scrambling since the ankle injury at the beginning of the season. The Chiefs are going to win the game and the offense will run entirely through Mahomes. He is my top NFL DFS QB this week.
QB2: Ryan Tannehill ($7,900 FD)
The Titans also need to win this game. Tannehill has been a terrific addition to the Tennessee offense since he took over. He is getting you 20 FD points a game pretty much and gets to go against an easy defensive backfield (which gives him more upside). The Titans win this game and if it isn’t Henry scoring, it’s Tannehill.
Pivot: Carson Wentz
Punt: Tom Brady
Studs: Aaron Jones, Ezekiel Elliot, Derrick Henry, CMC, Alvin Kamara, Nick Chubb
Each guy listed above has two touchdown upside and each of their teams has something to play for (with the exception of CMC who is chasing a receiving record). I am locking in three running backs on my FanDuel teams this week and getting cheap at wide receiver, when necessary. They are listed in order of preference.
Punt: Lat Murray (on non-Kamara teams), James White (Sony Questionable with illness)
I will update again closer to Sunday. Be sure to check back.
Stud WR: Micheal Thomas ($9,200 FD)
I like him more on DK because of the PPR structure but he is a great NFL DFS cash gameplay on either site. Last week he broke the single-season reception record and will just continue to put that record out of reach this Sunday in a game the Saints need to win. He is the most talented receiver in 2019 and should once again prove it against the Carolina Panthers who have nothing to play for aside from being Saints spoilers.
Stud Pivots: Davante Adams ($8,400 FD), Tyreek Hill ($8,200 FD)
Mid WR in order: Tyler Boyd ($6,600 FD), Courtland Sutton ($7,100 FD), Golden Tate ($5,900 FD)
Value Wide Receivers in order: Russel Gage ($5,300 FD), Greg Ward ($5,600 FD), Steven Sims Jr. ($6,000 FD), Justin Watson ($6,100 FD)

Starting off with a bit of a wild card here. Sam Darnold has been looking improved in his last five games with a 7:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio in that span. The Buffalo Bills are locked into the fifth seed for the playoffs and this game means absolutely nothing but pride for them. They have already ruled Shaq Lawson out and Darnold played decent against the Bills Week One while dealing with mono. Expect a great performance at this price and pay up for other skill positions in your lineup.
The naysayers will say that Brady doesn’t perform well in South Florida but I would counter that with a look at this Miami Dolphins team. This is a great chance for the Patriots offense to get back in stride with a weaker opponent heading into a probable bye week. Tom Brady had one of his better statistical games against this Dolphins team with 264 yards and two touchdowns. Expect a nice performance at another relatively cheaper price than normal for the quarterback slot.
Aaron Rodgers doesn’t turn the ball over with just three interceptions this season. The Lions have surpassed the Arizona Cardinals as the worst passing defense in the NFL and have six interceptions, the lowest in the league. Aaron Rodgers should be a gunslinger in this game and be around 300 yards as well. No need to discount double-check this decision.
With the division title on the line in Week 17 in a primetime matchup, there are very few quarterbacks I would want outside of Russell Wilson. Coming off an all-around stinker against the Arizona Cardinals, the Seahawks should come out on all cylinders against the 49ers. Yes, the numbers say the 49ers pass defense should limit him but the last three weeks do not look good for that defense.
He currently is listed as questionable with a back injury but I wouldn’t be shocked if he is under center on Sunday afternoon. Going up against a hungry Titans team still competing for a playoff opportunity, Watson will have the energy to compete instead of “taking the week off”. He played well in the matchup these two teams had earlier in the season and I expect very similar numbers out of him as well.
Patrick Mahomes had a bit of a struggle at points in this season but last year’s MVP has been heating up in his last three games. He played against top-level defenses in that span and should be easier for him with the Chargers in town. With the opportunity of a potential bye still looming, expect Patrick Mahomes to showcase his abilities on Sunday.
Jameis is on the injury report ahead of this game with a thumb and knee injury. This Atlanta team is completely different than the one Winston saw a month ago, with three consecutive victories and a team that will not be changing regimes in the offseason. Without some of his favorite targets on the field due to injury, expect a stinker from Jameis to end this season.
Do not buy into last week’s offensive performance from Case Keenum once Dwayne Haskins was carted off. This Cowboys team is somehow still competing for the NFC East crown and need to win this game and hope for an Eagles loss. Keenum had back-to-back stinkers before being demoted to the backup and that’s more of what I expect.
The fact that he is facing off against Bill Belichick and the New England defense is the main reason why Fitzpatrick is on this list. With a New England victory, they clinch a Wild Card bye and that will motivate the defense. I don’t necessarily believe he will turn into FitzTragic here, but I’m not believing in the Miami offense either.
Patrick Mahomes over 299.5 passing yards and Jameis Winston over 317.5 passing yards.
You can read about each of these quarterbacks above but as a summary, Jameis Winston should struggle without his main weapons against the Atlanta Falcons. Patrick Mahomes on the other hand should have a 300 yard day with the Chargers looking to end their miserable 2019 season.
The slate of DFS wide receivers is questionable with teams resting their stars with most of the playoff seeding figured out. There are some spots where you can afford some expensive receivers and some cheaper options with a good upside. Let’s dive into the best wideouts for Cash Games, GPP and who you should avoid with our Week 17 Wide Receiver DFS Picks.

Davante Adams had a great game against the Lions earlier this season with four touchdown receptions. You’d be crazy to expect that, but a solid game shouldn’t be questioned. He’s also coming off a game where he was targeted 16 times. He is Top 25 in both receptions and yardage with a weaker defense in Detroit. He should wreak havoc against the Lions yet again.
It would be criminal to not include Michael Thomas on this list. He now has the all-time single-season reception record and still has one more regular-season game to play. He was dealing with a hand injury but won’t affect his status and Carolina (like the rest of the NFL) had trouble stopping him. Last time these teams met, 10 catches for 101 yards and a touchdown. A slight opportunity for a Wild Card bye as well? Expect another big game.
This one is simple: Jarvis Landry is the Browns’ best receiver. The Bengals have nothing to play for while the Browns still have the opportunity to build up chemistry for next season. Landry is 12th in the NFL in yardage and should get a good amount of looks to up to get him closer to the Top 10.
This is Cooper’s last chance to show teams what he can do with impending free agency in the near future. The Cowboys lost their hold on the NFC East and need to win and have the Eagles lose to make the playoffs. With the reports that he was benched during last week’s game, this should be his chance to attack a weak secondary and show why he is still among the league’s top wideouts.
Juju didn’t look 100 percent last week against the New York Jets and I’m not sure he will be in this matchup either. He had seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens earlier this season. But with the opportunity of a playoff berth for the Steelers still there, I see Juju trying to pull it out but he isn’t healthy yet.
Diggs doesn’t get a crazy amount of targets as he only has one game this year with at least 10 targets. The Vikings have already clinched last Wild Card spot and this could be the reason Diggs gets pulled at halftime to prevent any injuries. Diggs isn’t as explosive against a good defense and I think he won’t produce as well as other wide receivers for this price.
Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Davante Adams over 23.5 receptions.
Arguably three of the best wide receivers this season should hit this mark. Michael Thomas is dealing with a hand injury but will play this week and should continue getting double-digit catches himself. Jarvis Landry is dealing with a hip injury but it won’t affect his status either. The combination of Landry and Davante Adams should easily get 14 catches combined.
Are you ready for NFL Week 17 DFS? I cannot believe it has gone by this quickly. The regular season is just about over. But here we are back at it to win some money on DraftKings! I will give my best buys via DraftKings prices. With it being Week 17, this is the week that the players with the information take home the gold. Stay focused all the way up to lock. See full article here.
This week is heavily focused on teams playing to get into a playoff spot. Team with nothing to play for are 21-13 against the spread since 2013. The Eagles, Cowboys, Steelers, Titans, and Raiders all need to win to get in and some need additional help. But that does not mean their opponents will just roll over.
Russell Gage ($4,400) actually saw the most usage in that Week 12 matchup with ten targets, eight receptions, and 76 receiving yards. Since the Calvin Ridley injury, Gage has operated as the clear no.2 wide receiver with the second-most routes run, and six targets in each game. He is getting some coach love too. He has three rushing attempts in the last two weeks, the coaches are trying to find ways to get him the ball. The Buccaneers still rank bottom-ten in fantasy points allowed to the wide receiver position over the past four weeks.
The best play for the Buccaneers in Week 17 DFS could actually end up being O.J. Howard ($4,300). He saw seven targets last week and despite the resurging Falcons’ defense, they have been vulnerable versus tight ends. Factoring out last week versus Jacksonville where they do not use a tight end, the prior three weeks tight ends averaged 92 receiving yards. Also over the past four weeks, the Falcons have allowed the second-most yards to tight ends, fourth-most targets, fifth-most receptions, and second-most red-zone targets.
The Bengals have already locked up the number one seed so at this point Zac Taylor has to be coaching for his job, so I expect a full effort from this Bengals squad. John Ross ($4,500) looks to be back to full playing time and I think this is a week to surely go back to him. He saw 13 targets total last week, led all players with 283 air yards in Week 16 and his average depth of target was 21.8. For his price with the upside he offers, he is someone you want to have heavy exposure to this week. Every game he has played this season he has either gone above 15 fantasy points or scored less than seven. Boom/bust at it’s finest.
Christian McCaffrey ($10,000) has been the best player in fantasy football all season, and that should not change for Week 17 DFS. He is approaching a number of statistical NFL records, but especially the 1,000 receiving yards record which he needs just 67 yards to achieve. Look for the Panthers to feed him early and often to get him into the record books. D.J. Moore ($6,600) is dealing with a concussion, so that would elevate several other Panthers’ receivers to relevance. The Saints over the past four weeks have allowed the third-most fantasy points to the wide receiver position. Chris Hogan ($3,300) actually filled in the role left by Moore and ran the second-most routes (40) behind CMC.
This could be a potential bounce-back spot for Christian Kirk ($4,700), who put up a goose egg last week. The Rams have also allowed the sixth-most rushing yards over the past six weeks, so go back to Kenyan Drake ($7,100) has he continues his amazing resurgence with the Arizona Cardinals. Drake is second to only Saquon Barkley in fantasy sports scored over the past two weeks. He has averaged 25 touches in the last two weeks. The Cardinals DST ($2,400) has the potential of going up versus a possible combination of Blake Bortles this week. Giddy up for Week 17 DFS!

Look how great our NBA Projection Model is! Gorgui Dieng had the second-most value according to our projections and had a monster game. Going up against the Sacramento Kings, Dieng finished with a double-double as he had a game-high 21 points and 15 rebounds. He also added two steals and a block in a double overtime victory.

Here is a snippet from the Sports Betting Picks written by Capper Steve. After a perfect Christmas slate of action, he followed it up with an additional 1.5 units. It might not sound like a lot but depending on how much you value one unit, it could be a huge payout. He went 3-2 with his bets but still continued to stay in the green, as he usually does.

This was part of the NBA DraftKings Picks article written by Danny Veino. Brown had a huge game in the earliest matchup on the slate on the road in Toronto.
