Fantasy Football Week 17 Cheat Sheet for Final Rankings, Waiver and Projections

The Philadelphia Eagles have had a miserable year, and quarterback Sam Bradford has not lived up to head coach Chip Kelly's expectations.

However, when it comes to the final week of the regular season, it appears that Bradford could have a week to remember when the Eagles travel up the New Jersey Turnpike and take on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants have been abominable when it comes to pass defense this season. They rank 31st in yards allowed this season, and that unit is coming off one of its most miserable efforts of the season in giving up 49 points to the Minnesota Vikings.

Bradford should be licking his chops because he has an opportunity to get at that defense. Bradford has completed 316 of 494 passes for 3,405 yards with 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions this year.

Look for Bradford to find wide receivers Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor and Riley Cooper with regularity. Tight end Zach Ertz figures to get involved as well. 

Bradford is a solid waiver-wire pickup and he will throw for 290 yards and three TDs against one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

RB Jeremy Langford, Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears have one of the most versatile and dangerous running backs in the league in Matt Forte. However, despite his consistency throughout his career, Forte will be a free agent at the end of the season and there are strong indications that Forte will be running for a new team in 2016.

The Bears have been giving their other running backs opportunities throughout the season, and Jeremy Langford figures to have the best crack at the No. 1 position next year if Forte does leave.

Langford has rushed for 523 yards on 143 carries this season and he has punched the ball in the end zone six times. While he is not as proficient as Forte when it comes to pass receiving, Langford has caught 22 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown.

Forte missed most of the second half of the Bears' Week 16 win at Tampa Bay with a back injury, and Langford should get the lion's share of the carries as the Bears face Detroit to close the season.

Look for Langford to have a big day against the 17th-ranked defense in yards allowed. Pick Langford up off the waiver wire and he will have a big game for your fantasy team.

WR Stefon Diggs, Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers are squaring off at Lambeau Field for the NFC North crown in the regular-season finale.

If there's one thing the Packers know about this game, it's that they can't let Adrian Peterson beat them single-handedly. They must commit their defense to stopping the Vikings' running game.

They also have to respect quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, and that's what makes the Vikings dangerous in this game. The Vikings now have the versatility to cause problems for the Packers' 19th-ranked defense.

If the Vikings are going to win this game, they need their wide receivers to step up. Nobody has the potential to do more damage than Stefon Diggs. He should be fully prepared for this game.

Diggs has caught 51 passes for 712 yards and four touchdowns, and there will be open spaces in the Green Bay secondary. Look for him to catch at least eight passes for 100 yards and a touchdown as the Vikings pull off the road upset.

He should be an excellent waiver-wire pickup.
