The article from AOL Sports discusses potential sleeper picks for Week 17 in fantasy football, focusing on players who might not be widely rostered but could provide significant value due to favorable matchups or recent performance trends. Key highlights include:

  • Quarterback: Jarrett Stidham of the Las Vegas Raiders, stepping in for the injured Derek Carr, showed promise in his first start, suggesting he could be a viable option against the San Francisco 49ers.
  • Running Back: Samaje Perine from the Denver Broncos could see increased touches if the team decides to rest their starters, especially against the Kansas City Chiefs.
  • Wide Receiver: Parris Campbell of the Indianapolis Colts has been gaining momentum and could exploit the New York Giants' defense, which has been vulnerable to wide receivers.
  • Tight End: Chigoziem Okonkwo of the Tennessee Titans has been emerging as a reliable target, particularly useful against the Dallas Cowboys who have struggled against tight ends.
  • Defense/Special Teams: The Minnesota Vikings' defense is highlighted as a sleeper due to their matchup against the Green Bay Packers, where they could capitalize on turnovers and sacks.

    The article emphasizes the importance of considering players' recent performances, potential for increased roles due to injuries or rest, and favorable matchups when setting lineups for the crucial final week of the fantasy football season.
