FANTASY FOOTBALL: WEEK 17 PRE-GAME PLANNER-RICKY WILLIAMS ACTIVE


ABOVE: Miami back Ricky Williams ready and rarin' to go.....

If you have Ricky Williams on your roster, play him.
He left last week's game with a shoulder injury and hardly practiced this week. But he is listed as active and reports indicate he should be healthy enough to have a very decent game.
The Miami Dolphins have a slim chance to make the playoffs and need Williams to play the entire game to have a shot. He will be fed the ball on the ground and through the air. If he doesn't reinjure the shoulder, expect at least 18-28 fantasy points from him today.

FANTASY FOOTBALL: WEEK 17 PRE-GAME PLANNER-MARSHALL, BREES OUT


ABOVE: BEARS RECEIVER DEVIN AROMASHODU

As expected, Week 17 is shaping up as a stressful day for anyone with their fantasy football championship being held today.
The biggest news that has been reported the past few days is that Denver receiver Brandon Marshall is benched for today's game against Kansas City, a team he has dominated in the past. Marshall has sat out of practice this week with a hamstring injury and Denver coach Josh McDaniels doesn't believe it is as severe as Marshall claims.
If you have Marshall active, SIT HIM DOWN. Jabar Gaffner is expected to step into his spot and that is a risky play. If you need a receiver, Chicago's Devin Aromashodu might still be on your waiver wire and should have a big day today.
As expected, New Orleans starters are sitting, most notably Drew Brees who will be the backup today to Mark Brunnell.
Saints back Pierre Thomas is inactive and will be replaced by Lynell Hamilton.
