Eddie Brown's fantasy football Week 17 start/sit

Some thoughts after Week 16 of the fantasy football season:

Fantasy owners who took Aaron Rodgers early in their draft can certainly make a case against waiting on the quarterback position. There's something to be said for the certainty of Rodgers versus streaming the position in the playoffs and hoping for a good matchup or that you're guy doesn't break his fibula _ sorry Marcus Mariota and Derek Carr owners.

Mike Evans averaged 13 targets per game in the first eight games of the season. He's averaged eight targets per game during the second half of the season. What did he do to upset Jameis Winston?

Note to self: Play Jay Ajayi against Buffalo _ 420 rushing yards on 61 carries and two touchdowns.

In two games against the horrifically bad and injury riddled 49ers defense, Todd Gurley only had 129 total yards from scrimmage.

I believe Mariota and Carr could both be top five options at quarterback next season.

Here are my best bets for Week 17:
