Ask the Expert Question of the Week: What lesser-known player will be a Week 17 fantasy MVP, and say why?
What lesser-known player will be a Week 17 fantasy MVP, and say why?
Eli Rodgers faces a CLE defense and Antonio Brown will not play in week 17. Both good reasons to expect big things from Eli. I predict 8-120-1. PIT has a playoff spot (and #3 seed) clinched. Landry Jones may even favor Rodgers a bit.

It is the season of Festivus, and time for the annual airing of grievances. Who has disappointed you most this year, and why?
DeAndre Hopkins and Jamaal Charles. Hopkins has been mediocre at best-chalk some of that up to his QB. Charles was the big tease of 2016 and if you took a chance on him in the draft you were rewarded with a whole bunch of nothing. Either or heaven forbid both of them on your team was a recipe for disaster this year. They were huge disappointments although some of the blame should come back to me for believing in these "miracles".

Doug Martin. He plays two games against the Saints in the next 3 weeks. Questions none.
Yeah I know he got bent over backwards like a pretzel Sunday but word is he is OK. If you want to buy some insurance pick up Charles Sims who may be activated this week.
