Fantasy football owners might have a huge break on their hands going into Week 17, sort of like the one person in each league who managed to scoop up Devonta Freeman early this year.
Freeman wound up fantasy's leading-scoring back through 16 weeks. Comparable here is the fact Week 17 doesn't look like the normally impossible week it can be when teams decide to sit starters.
Instead, there's a wealth of playoff implications on the line Sunday, meaning most everyone should play usual minutes. Motivation might be another conversation entirely based on the team's situation, but playing time is playing time.
