Honorable Mention

Christian Watson

Team: Green Bay Packers

Position: Wide Receiver

Week 17 Matchup: Minnesota Vikings

Just missing the Top 10 Fantasy Football Players to Start Week 17 of the 2022 NFL Schedule rankings list is the Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson.

Watson is the only 2022 NFL Draft Class member to make the list while having a strong fantasy matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Over their last four contests the Vikings have allowed the 2nd most receiving yards (892) in the NFL to go along with four touchdown receptions.

Only concern entering Week 17 is how healthy Watson is after leaving last week’s game with a hip injury.

Tyreek Hill

Team: Miami Dolphins

Position: Wide Receiver

Week 17 Matchup: New England Patriots

One name that could be much higher on the list is the Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill currently ranks 2nd in the NFL with 1,632 receiving yards and 2nd in the NFL with 113 receptions.

The speedy wide receiver is a threat to make a big play on any catch while showcasing his ability to be a number one at the position.

As the Dolphins get set for a crucial divisional matchup only thing holding Hill back from a Top 5 spot on the Top Fantasy Football Players to Start list is the fact Tua Tagovailoa is in the concussion protocol leading into Week 17.

6. Davante Adams

Team: Las Vegas Raiders

Week 17 Matchup: San Francisco 49ers

Through the first 16 weeks of the season Adams has pulled in the most touchdown receptions tied with Travis Kelce while also racking up 1,290 total yards.

Adams and the Raiders face off against a stellar San Francisco 49ers defense. Despite being one of the better defenses in the NFL, the 49ers have allowed the 5th most fantasy points to the receiver position over the course of the season.

5. Travis Etienne Jr.

Team: Jacksonville Jaguars

3. CeeDee Lamb

Team: Dallas Cowboys

Position: Wide Receiver

Week 17 Matchup: Tennessee Titans

Coming off back-to-back 100 plus yard receiving performances CeeDee Lamb continues to be a key weapon within the Dallas Cowboys offensive attack.

Looking back at his last five games, Lamb has pulled in no fewer than five catches while being targeted 11 times twice in that stretch.

With Lamb being the focal point of the Cowboys passing attack, DFS owners have benefited from building their lineups around him.

2. Josh Allen

Team: Buffalo Bills

Position: Quarterback
