Not every fantasy football league closes shop before Week 17. Luckily for players fighting until the end, nearly the entire NFL will share those motivations.
In a bizarre twist, the 8-7 Washington Redskins are the only team locked into playoff positioning. They will host a Wild Card Game as the No. 4 seed regardless of this weekend's outcome against the Dallas Cowboys. Kirk Cousins and Jordan Reed won Week 16 championships, but they won't repeat those heroics this weekend.
Aside from Washington, everyone is playing for either a playoff spot, seeding or pure pride. Instead of worrying about who will get benched, gamers must determine if eliminated clubs will play with honor or slog to the finish line.
