NFL Week 17 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Sit 'Em

Kirk Cousins - Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers

Kirk Cousins has been on a hot streak recently. He has finished among the top ten quarterbacks in Fantasy Football in four of the last five weeks. The issue for Cousins in Week 17 is a difficult matchup against the Green Bay Packers. They rank among the top ten in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. Cousins has also struggled on the road a bit, recording just one top-12 finish in six games.

Carson Wentz - Washington Commanders vs. Cleveland Browns

Carson Wentz is returning as the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders in Week 17, replacing Taylor Heinicke. While this may boost their offensive production, Wentz is not a reliable option in Fantasy Football, especially against the Cleveland Browns. They allow the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
