Fantasy football sleepers to play in Week 17 championships

Here are some sleepers to consider starting in fantasy football lineups for Week 17 championship games.

It’s here. Everything we’ve been working so hard for all season. Fantasy football championship week is finally upon us.

The majority of us failed to make it to the big game. To those that did, congratulations! Now, all you have to do is get through the most stressful week of the season.

Things will be a bit different this week as the NFL has two games on Christmas Wednesday with the Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers followed by a matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.

Meanwhile, the Thursday night game takes its regular occurrence with the Seattle Seahawks visiting the Chicago Bears.

Since that’s not enough, the NFL put three more games on Saturday with the Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams all playing before Sunday even arrives.

Even though the majority of fantasy football managers will find themselves on the outside looking in at this point, we can still use sleepers to identify potential DFS plays.

Some managers will opt to go for the safer bet this week, but it’s always a good idea to reach for a ceiling in a must-win game.
