Topics discussed include with KC Joyner on Cattles and Ramie include:

  • Who should you target if you have to replace players either being rested by their teams or are too banged up to play?
  • Which quarterbacks stand out the most in Week 17.
  • Should owners entertain the idea of benching Davante Adams this week with a new quarterback?

  • Which players have surprised owners the most in fantasy football this year?
  • Justin Fields is set up to have a monster game against the Detroit Lions
