Fantasy Football Week 17 Running Back Rankings

by MikeGallagher on Dec 30, 2011 7:42 PM EST in 2011 Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings

It's the last week of the season and we're a little bit late due to some waiting for some of these situations to develop with which guys will get rest and which backups could prove to be valuable in Week 17. I'm doing all of the rankings this week and if you have any questions about why I have a guy a bit higher than you might expect, don't be bashful and put post a question in the comment section or you can send them to me on Twitter @MikeSGallagher.

I'd also encourage you to check out Kenny's Preview that covers every game. I covered several scenarios in Waiver Wire Scoops as well. Plus don't forget that I'll be posting the superfluously informative Active/Inactive Update early Sunday.

You're sure Helu's going to play

I can’t believe I’m having this internal debate
But I need to decide between Chris Johnson and Evan Royster in the finals. I’m leaning CJ, but if Helu doesn’t play…
