Week 17 Fantasy Football: Viewer’s guide

Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy decisions. As such, I’m going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip.

Games you want to “binge” are like the show you can’t miss; you’re watching as soon as it goes live and might just crush all the episodes in one weekend. These are the start-all-your-guys fantasy games and ones with season-defining storylines.

Games you want to “stream” are like the shows you certainly watch start to finish, but perhaps you’re finishing it over time instead of one shot. While these games might not feature a ton of “must-starts,” we can pick and choose our spots, and the teams are likely to matter in the NFL playoff picture.

Lastly, the games you want to “skip” are like the shows you’re leaning toward passing on, but you might catch an episode here and there (or might stick to reading recaps online to stay up with the culture). There will be a non-obvious player or two who stands out in these games, but overall, they aren’t the best environment for fantasy football.

Simply put, this will need to be a massive statement game for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ passing unit. Detroit has an apparent matchup problem with its elite run game against a floundering Dallas rush defense. Sure, Dan Quinn and co. can look to cause chaos for Goff and hunt for turnovers but with the Lions’ offensive line fully healthy, they’ll have every chance to control the script on the ground.

That will put the game in the hands of Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. The Lions defense has fallen…
