Fantasy Football Players to Buy Low in Week 17
Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
If you're like me and don't think the Bears will draft a quarterback, go get Justin Fields.
Fields has a high risk of injury every time he's out on the field due to his running ability. But that running ability is what makes him such an asset for any fantasy football team.
If the Bears don't draft a quarterback, it'll mean he's getting help either on the offensive line or at receiver. That's worth it.
Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets
Breece Hall just needs some space.
Despite a horrible offensive line, Hall has managed to rush for 4.2 yards a carry. He's also just coming off a 95-yard day on the ground and caught 12 passes for 96 yards in the same game.
If you can find an owner willing to trade Hall, knowing that Aaron Rodgers will be back next season, you've got to do it.
Breece Hall to be bought low? Say Less. Make sure you're hammering Hall prop bets at DraftKings right now!
Brian Robinson, RB, Washington Commanders
Brian Robinson was a top running back in fantasy earlier in the season. But now he's injured and hasn't played in a couple of weeks.
Robinson has a very high chance of still being the No. 1 running back next season. You can buy him on the low if an owner wants to add draft picks. Robinson's worth a lot.
Khalil Herbert, RB, Chicago Bears
D'Onta Foreman will unlikely be the starter for the Bears next season. Instead, it's more likely that Khalil Herbert or Roschon Johnson get the job. Stash those two to pair with Justin Fields once the Bears add a wide receiver like Marvin Harrison or Malik Nabers.

Fantasy Football Players to Sell High Before Week 17
Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers
Is Aaron Jones truly fragile?
He's only had 100 carries this season and has played in nine games this year. But he's also had just two games with at least 20 carries and finally had his first 100-yard rushing game against the Carolina Panthers.
You won't want to keep Jones after his performance this year. See what you can get for him instead.
Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Higgins is in a good spot with Cincinnati. But it sounds like he won't be staying with the Bengals. I'd be afraid for him wherever he ends up. He's dropped many passes and isn't a true No. 1 receiver.
But while he's getting No. 1 receiver reps, trade him now.
DK Metcalf, WR, Seattle Seahawks
DK Metcalf has been very quiet throughout the season. He doesn't even have 1,000 yards receiving and pretty much just had one game where he went off to help him get even close.
He's caught only 60 balls on 105 targets and has been non-existent for half of the season. He got a touchdown last week. So maybe it's time to get rid of him after that.
George Pickens, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
Pickens said he kept receipts when everyone was talking about his poor performance.
Then he went off.
But if he needs social media receipts to push him, that's a problem. The receipts were accurate. He wasn't trying on the field. Simple.
Will George Pickens receiving production continue to rise in Week 17 after his insane Week 16 performance? Well, FanDuel is the place to bet on Pickens over props right now!
