Fantasy football rankings, Week 17: Consensus wide receivers for standard leagues

You may be inches away from a fantasy championship, but you may not want to count on guys like Antonio Brown getting you past the finish line.

NFL: Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers

Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports

The final week of NFL regular-season football is here. That means if your league is still going, you have made it to the championship game.

While that is a nice accomplishment, coming up one game short of a title can sting worse than being the guy who finished dead last in your league. That is a feeling you can hopefully avoid this week, but be wary of several teams who may be resting players on your fantasy team.

Among them are the Pittsburgh Steelers with Antonio Brown along with other key starters. Some other big-name receivers who may not get full workloads in Week 17 could include Dez Bryant, DeAndre Hopkins, and Jarvis Landry. All of their teams have clinched playoff berths and are locked into their current spots.

There are also eliminated teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts who may rest banged-up receivers like A.J. Green and Donte Moncrief this Sunday. All of this makes setting your lineup even more tricky heading into the title game.

With so many tough questions to ask this week, feel free to ask us in the SB Nation War Room through Thursday, or you can tweet us your questions at @SBNationFantasy.
