Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 17 WRs
Start: DJ Moore Fantasy Outlook vs Seattle Seahawks
DJ Moore needs to have more respect put on his name. Moore is the Bears’ WR1 and has been very good this season despite the poor play of the Chicago Bears. He has not had a bad game in six weeks, scoring double-digit fantasy points in every game since Week 10.
Moore will line up against the Seattle Seahawks DBs. Seattle just got lit up for 36.4 points against the WR1 of the Minnesota Vikings, Justin Jefferson. Moore is not Jefferson, but he can still get open and gain yardage on Seattle. The Seahawks have given up the 11th-most fantasy points to WRs this season. Moore should be able to add to that total. Start Moore this weekend.
Start: Tyreek Hill Fantasy Outlook vs Cleveland Browns
A guy that the Miami Dolphins need to show up this week and keep their playoffs hope alive is on the good side of the article. Tyreek Hill has picked up his game since the return of Tua Tagovailoa. Hill has had some of his targets taken away by Jonnu Smith but Hill is still putting up double-digit points in seven of the nine games since Tua’s return.
On the other side of the ball is the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland got gashed by all three of the Cincinnati WRs last week and since their bye eight WRs have scored in the double digits. Cleveland gives up the sixth-most fantasy points to WRs this season. Hill should be in your lineup if he is good to go.

Sit: Drake London Fantasy Outlook vs Washington Commanders
The third-year Atlanta Falcon will be on the bad side of this Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em article this week. Drake London did pretty well with five catches and 59 yards last week. The only thing though is that was against the New York Giants. Michael Penix looked good last week, though his numbers were sub-par thanks to a variety of creative drops from his receivers. How will he fair against a better team?
The Falcons will head to the worst stadium in the NFL, Northwest Stadium, to play the Washington Commanders. The Commies have been good at covering WR1s and with the addition of Marshon Lattimore they have only gotten better. Washington is middle of the road when it comes to giving up fantasy points to WRs.

Sit: Cooper Kupp Fantasy Outlook vs. Arizona Cardinals
Many people have lost trust in Cooper Kupp. In the last two weeks, Kupp has disappointed fantasy owners with 5.4 points total (all last week against the New York Jets). If you made it to your finals despite this man, you did one heck of a job with your team. Kupp this week will have to get through a divisional foe.
Los Angeles will host the Arizona Cardinals in a special Saturday night game. Arizona was able to contain Kupp to a 7.7-point performance in Week 2. Granted, he was injured in that game, but still. Arizona gives up the 15th-fewest fantasy points to WRs. Kupp has taken the double teams and allowed Puka Nacua to get more open. Expect more of the same this week and leave Kupp on the bench.
