Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 17? Sam Darnold, Jared Goff, Anthony Richardson

Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Who should I start for Week 17? Fantasy football outlooks for Sam Darnold, Jared Goff, Anthony Richardson. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.

The chances are that if you are reading this you are getting ready for a finals matchup in your fantasy football league.

Congrats on making it this far, now it's time to secure a championship and most importantly - bragging rights for the next nine months.

A big week for your fantasy team likely starts with your starting quarterback. Let's take a look at some potential QB options for Week 17 who can help your team bring home the trophy.

 

Should I Start Anthony Richardson for Fantasy Football?

INJURY UPDATE: Anthony Richardson has been ruled OUT for Week 17. Joe Flacco will start for the Colts.

Anthony Richardson has underperformed this season in what has been a roller coaster of a ride for fantasy managers. But he just might be ready to pull it all together and help secure some fantasy championships with a little help from an incredibly soft schedule to end the fantasy season.

A-Rich posted 20 fantasy points (half-PPR) last week in the win over Tennessee by throwing for one touchdown and rushing for another. Now he gets a matchup with a Giants defense that ranks 29th against the pass and 14th against the run. As long as Richardson is good to go (and it sounds as if he's trending in that direction) he should be in fantasy lineups as the Colts offense is positioned for a big day.

 

Should I Start Jared Goff for Fantasy Football?

Goff is playing some of his best football right now as he's tossed 11 touchdown passes over the last three weeks. The narrative that he can't play outdoors was disproven last week as he torched the Bears for 336 yards and three scores.

The Lions head to San Francisco this week and need to win if they are going to have a chance to clinch home-field advantage next week against the Vikings. While the matchup looks tougher on paper, the Niners have been spiraling in the second half of the season and were handled by Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins last week.

While Goff isn't a threat to run, he's surrounded by elite weapons at receiver, running back, and tight end. He's a solid play in any format this week.

 

Should I Start Sam Darnold for Fantasy Football?

The short answer is, "Yes!!!"

Sammy D is having a career year and is poised for another big game at home against his division rival Packers. Darnold threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns against the Pack in Green Bay back in September and now gets to face them at home.

Like Goff, Darnold is surrounded by weapons in this offense and has one of the best receivers in the league - Justin Jefferson - to throw to. But the emergence of Jordan Addison and the return of T.J. Hockenson give him the ability to spread the ball around, while Aaron Jones Sr. has run the ball effectively and is a good receiver out of the backfield. Darnold is set up for a huge finish to the fantasy season, there's no doubt that he should be in your lineup for Sunday's game.
