Bold Fantasy Calls That Could Decide Your NFL Week 17 Championship
Week 17 has finally arrived, and for fantasy football managers, this is it — the championship round where seasons are defined, trophies are lifted, and heartbreaks are sealed. The Yahoo Fantasy Football crew has rolled out its boldest predictions of the entire year, and these takes are designed to help managers squeeze out every last edge when it matters most.
Let’s start with Ja’Marr Chase, who is being predicted to single-handedly win fantasy championships. Even though his touchdown numbers have strangely dried up for a long stretch, the usage has never gone away. The Bengals’ offense has been steadied, Joe Burrow is healthy again, and Chase remains the unquestioned centerpiece. Against an Arizona defense that has been bleeding points late in the season, a monster stat line is expected. A 100-yard performance feels almost inevitable, and this time, it’s believed that one or two touchdowns will finally follow. If that happens, Chase managers could be celebrating early.

Another name being pushed into the spotlight is Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Giants’ season may be a mess, but Tracy’s role has quietly become gold for fantasy purposes. With injuries thinning the backfield and coaching decisions simplifying the workload, Tracy has been living in the 15-plus carry range. Volume like that is gold in championship week. Against a Raiders defense that looks worn down and possibly missing key pass-rushers, Tracy is being projected as a top-10 running back — a huge swing for managers who trusted him.
At quarterback, Jacoby Brissett is being pegged for a shocking 400-yard passing day against Cincinnati. After last week’s disappointment, many managers might be hesitant, but the matchup tells a different story. The Bengals have struggled badly in coverage, especially down the seams, and Trey McBride has been dominating all season. A fast-paced, back-and-forth shootout is being envisioned, which is exactly what fantasy players want when everything is on the line.
Rhamondre Stevenson is also being forecasted to deliver an RB1 performance. It may not be flashy, but the logic is simple. He’s the lead back on a team projected to score plenty of points, facing a defense that has been gashed on the ground and through the air by running backs. With injuries likely clearing the path to more touches, Stevenson is set up for one of his strongest games of the year.
Finally, Chris Olave is expected to keep rolling as a top-tier wide receiver. Since the quarterback change, his efficiency and target quality have improved dramatically. With other pass-catchers sidelined and a generous Titans secondary on deck, another WR1 performance is very much on the table.
In championship week, bold calls can change everything — and for many managers, these predictions could be the difference between finishing second and finishing on top.
