ANECDOTE

Old Man At Alumni Game

  • Hayden showed up to an alumni basketball game and felt old, getting called "unk" while his back was sore.
  • He joked he still "kind of got it" and used the story to transition into Week 17 rankings.
INSIGHT

Clear Top-Three WRs For Week 17

  • Puka Nacua and Ja'Marr Chase are clear top plays in Week 17 given high team projections and usage.
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba is close behind, making up a three-man elite tier for fantasy decisions.
ADVICE

Start Both Cowboys Receivers

  • Start both Dallas receivers against Washington because the Commanders' secondary is banged up and matchup projects highly.
  • Favor targeting these Cowboys WRs in lineups when their team total is near 29 points.
