2012 Fantasy Football Week 17 Rankings

These are my 2012 Fantasy Football Week 17 Rankings as of Wednesday. Dec 26th @ 11:00 PM EST. The rankings are for standard leagues (4 points per TD pass).

Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Indianapolis have already secured their spots in the playoffs and have nothing to play for this week. The Bengals have indicated that they will not rest players, but the other players on the other three teams weer all lowered in the ranks with the expectation that they will play more limited snaps.

Defense and Kicker rankings are not included here so if you have questions regarding those positions, feel free to ask on twitter @FreeRotoAdvice or comment on the post and I will respond ASAP.

Best of luck in Week 17!!
