Fantasy Football w/ Frank Ober

Week 17 Championships !

Congratulations if you made it to the championship game in your fantasy football league. There is no reason to change your strategy moving forward because it has obviously worked for you. One challenge this week is that there are two games being played on Christmas Day, which is an
extremely short turnaround. The Kansas City Chiefs are at the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens are at the Houston Texans. WR Tank Dell of the Houston Texans will not playin this game. The only other potential fantasy starter of concern is WR George Pickens of the
Pittsburgh Steelers who has missed the last couple of games and is the only real offensivethreat on this team. There are also games being played on Thursday and Saturday, which could make setting your lineup challenging if there are injury issues. Continue to monitor practice
and injury reports. Good luck.

Week 17 Selections Versus the Point Spread

Seattle Seahawks (-3.5) at Chicago Bears
The Seahawks are still alive but have lost two in a row against NFC North teams, the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. The NFC North Bears have lost nine straight games since their bye week and have trouble scoring. They are not the Packers or Vikings. Take the Seahawks in should be a slugfest.

Washington Commanders (-4.0) vs. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons control their own destiny to capture the NFC South crown by winning their last two games. The Commanders can clinch a playoff spot with a win. I do not see head coach DanQuinn allowing his team a letdown after a huge win against the Eagles. Although both teams are playing rookie QBs, who would you rather trust? Jayden Daniels or Michael Penix Jr. The
Commanders will clinch a playoff berth so give the points.

Detroit Lions (-3.5) at San Francisco 49ers
The Lions are still trying to capture the NFC North crown and a first round bye in the NFC playoffs. The 49ers have been eliminated from playoff contention. Despite their injuries ondefense, the Lions can score on anyone and will keep it rolling here. Take the visitors minus the points.
