DFS NFL Talk Week 17 - Game-by-Game Breakdown FanDuel and DraftKings 12/29/17 DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast discussing a wild and wacky Week 17 in the NFL for FanDuel and DraftKings. It's the final week of the regular season and with it comes a great deal of uncertainty around how certain teams will attack it. We already have some teams like the Rams choosing to sit their starters while other bad teams have had little to play for in weeks. But there's plenty to like with some high profile players and teams fighting for their playoff lives. They discuss quarterbacks like Cam Newton, Drew Brees and Russell Wilson all in high leverage games. They break down the running back injury situations and which games to totally avoid. It's a jam-packed podcast for Week 17 in the NFL. Subscribe to this podcast on...

QUARTERBACKS Drew Brees FD 8200 DK 7400 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 22.3 DK - 23.07 Brees was a chalk play in week 16, and was mostly a disappointment, putting up 16 fantasy points against one of the worst pass defenses in Tampa Bay. But I mean, was he really that bad? He threw for 299 yards and had no interceptions, and if he gets either of those vultured TDs from Mark Ingram back we're looking at pretty much a fine week. And, yes, those are sort of excuses on some level. The signs are all there for this to be a huge week for him, though. Vegas has this game pegged as having the highest over by an absurd eight points, which is the highest so far this season.

Throw in the fact that a lot of the biggest names will be operating in a more limited capacity this week, and Brees looks like a cash game lock for the DFSR family this week. Russell Wilson FD 7600 DK 6300 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 21.17 DK - 22.08 We talked about this on the podcast, but there are only a handful of teams with something to play for this week, and Seattle is one of them. Wilson followed up a tough first half against Arizona with a monster second half, putting up his best overall fantasy performance of the season just in the nick of time. And this week, he'll have an historically great match-up against the Niners. They've been the worst defense in the league by every observable metric this...
