Congrats to those of you who won the fantasy championship game. If you didn’t, well, you are now a part of a select few who are known as the “The Best Loser.” I am one of the members in this group so don’t take this as me throwing shade on you fellow coaches.

Maybe we can make a group chat together and hate on all the players who killed out fantasy lineups. I very much dislike you, Amari Cooper and D.J. Moore. More so Cooper because D.J. Moore was taken out for a concussion but 2 points between 2 players REALLY hurt.

Before I get all excited with veins bulging out of my neck, let’s get on with the show. This article is, of course, our DFS Optimal Lineup, coming off of the DraftKings App. I am using the Sunday selection for the games since it is the only selection.

Fantasy Football Week 17 DFS Optimal Lineup

Quarterback

(PHI) Carson Wentz @ New York Giants – $6,100

Both Wentz and the Giants defense have me wanting to play Carson this week. Wentz brought home the victory against the Cowboys throwing over 300 yards and a TD. He even sprinkled in 22 rushing yards on six attempts.

The Giants D, on the other hand, collectively gave up 291 passing yards and 3 TDs to Dwayne Haskins and Case Keenum. The fact that both QBs, on a not so competitive team, came into the game and handled the Giants secondary is very appealing to me. If the rookie and Keenum can break down New York’s defense, imagine what Carson Wentz could do when his team needs the victory.

Alternative QBs: Josh Allen vs New York Jets, Baker Mayfield @ Cincinnati Bengals – $5,700

Running Back

(NO) Alvin Kamara @ Carolina Panthers – $7,800

As always on these DFS articles, we want to pair our players with games that have a favorable matchup. This is one of those. Kamara finally came to life on Sunday against the Titans. Now he gets the juicy matchup of the Carolina Panthers who have been giving up a league-high 32.0 fantasy points a week to the RB. Tag Alvin Kamara in and go to your next selection.

Alternative RBs: Kenyan Drake @ Los Angeles Rams – $7,100, Marlon Mack @ Jacksonville Jaguars – $6,900

(KC) Damien Williams vs Los Angeles Chargers – $4,700

The man who has toyed with your season-long fantasy football team emotions is now on the DFS article. He’s played with my heart for too long so I dropped him mid-season. This week, however, Williams goes against the Chargers, who made DeAndre Washington look like an RB1. Sunday night Williams was being played like his draft status projected him to be. If Andy Reid continues that kind of play calling, Damien Williams could be the sleeper of the week.

Alternative RB: Rex Burkhead vs Miami Dolphins – $4,500
