Week 17 DFS Matchup Report | Daily Fantasy Sports

Club Fantasy’s Weekly DFS Report is here to give you the info you need when building your DFS lineups. Each week, we will list the ten teams that give up the most points to QB/RB/WR/TE and the five teams that give up the fewest. While this shouldn’t be the only info you use when building your lineups, it is a very good starting point. If you have any questions, be sure to tune into Start Sit, Different Day, Saturdays at 11 am EST, where we spend an hour answering your lineup questions.

Our DFS writer, Kyra Wiaterowski, will also be putting out a weekly article, Kyra’s Kash Grabs, focusing on low-cost players that could pay off big in DFS. PLUS – This Friday, January 1st, we will be hosting our first DFS-focused podcast “DFS and Chill” with Kyra, Mike from Ball Blast, and hosted by yours truly, Ryan Weisse. Subscribe to the Youtube channel today so you don’t miss it.

Scoring Note: Listed ranks are using 4-point passing and 1 PPR scoring format. While both FanDuel and DraftKings use 4-point QB passing TDs, Fanduel uses .5 PPR and DraftKings use 1 PPR.

MUCH MORE IMPORTANT NOTE: Week 17 is a MESS. Some teams will be benching starters, others are playing for a playoff spot. Use the info below to start your research but please dig deeper on who is playing, and who is not.
