If you are in a fantasy football league that runs all the way to Week 17 to decide a champion, you might be desperate for players to fill your roster. And if you have been relying on the Pittsburgh Steelers to power your team, you need to make some moves. But whether or not you have been starting the Steelers’ stars all season, you still need to get out there and snatch up these backups because they are set for big performances against the Cleveland Browns.

Jones has one start on the season against the New England Patriots. In that game, he threw for 281 yards and one touchdown against a defense far more formidable than the one he will face on Sunday. The Brown are No. 21 in the NFL in passing yards allowed, so if you are scrambling for a fill in at QB this week, Jones is a solid bet to approach 300 yards and get a couple of scores.

17 January 2021. Fresh and light Austrian wines from the excellent 2019 vintage. Three gems from a great year for Austrian winemakers. About 505 results for David Williams's wines of the week. DeAngelo Chondon Williams1 (born April 25, 1983) is a former American football running back. He played college football at Memphis, and was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He starred in a dual role in Carolina alongside Jonathan Stewart, until Williams' release in the 2014 offseason. He then played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2015 to 2016.

Williams has said he’s ready to go out and have some fun this week in place of Le’Veon Bell. In the first two games of the season, when Williams was the workhorse back he averaged just over 150 yards from scrimmage in each game. Don’t look for Williams to get 25 touches, but don’t rule out 100 yards from scrimmage a touchdown as Pittsburgh grinds it out against a bad Cleveland run defense.

The best weapon in the passing game that Jones is going to have is Eli Rogers. He, along with Demarcus Ayers both make sneaky good fantasy plays this week. Neither guy has overwhelming size or deep speed, but both players are very capable of taking a short throw and turning it into a long gain. Rogers is the safer pickup and should have a strong game.

For the Win is here to help you set your fantasy football lineup. Here are USA TODAY Sports’ rankings for every position. To supplement that, we’ve compiled our list of studs, duds and sleepers for Week 17…

STUDS

QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

The Falcons haven’t had much success slowing down opposing quarterbacks this season. In fact, only the Browns have allowed more fantasy points to quarterbacks. Brees should cap off yet another prolific season with a huge game.

RB Devonta Freeman, Atlanta Falcons

Freeman absolutely gashed the Saints defense in the first matchup between these teams. He needed only 14 carries to top the 150-yard mark. The Falcons are still playing for a first-round bye, so you don’t have to worry about Freeman resting before the playoffs.

WR DeAndre Hopkins, Houston Texans

Hopkins has disappointed all season, but you can trust him against a bad Titans secondary that allowed the Jaguars’ struggling offense to produce its best performance of 2016. Bill O’Brien has said Houston will not rest starters in Week 17.

QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Rodgers looks like the best quarterback in the NFL right now, and he’ll be going up against one of the league’s worst pass defenses. Detroit has allowed three or more passing touchdowns four times this year. Rodgers should make it a fifth.

DUDS

RB Todd Gurley, Los Angeles Rams

Nfl Deangelo Williams

Gurley’s dud of a season will end in disappointment, as the Rams are taking on a Cardinals run defense that has allowed only 3.6 yards per attempt this season. Keep him on your bench.

QB Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins

It’s hard to trust Cousins at this point in the fantasy season. He’ll lay an egg every so often, and the chances of him doing so again are good one of the league’s better pass defenses coming to Washington. The Giants have allowed only 14 passing touchdowns in 2016.

TE Delanie Walker, Tennessee Titans

The Texans defense is playing its best football of the year headed into the final week of the regular season. They’ve shut down almost every opposing tight end they’ve played this season, including Walker, who caught only two passes for 34 yards when these teams played in October.

WR Amari Cooper, Oakland Raiders

Cooper will likely draw Chris Harris Jr. in coverage, and Derek Carr’s injury might convince the Raiders to focus on the running game in Week 17. IF that is the case, Cooper won’t get a lot of targets and he’ll have a tough time shaking Harris when Matt McGloin does look his way.

SLEEPERS

RB DeAngelo Williams, Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs, so Pittsburgh will likely rest starters. That includes Le’Veon Bell, so it’s time to get Williams off your bench or to pluck him off the waiver wire. He’s got a great matchup against a Browns defense that has struggled all season.

QB EJ Manuel, Buffalo Bills

You’d have to be mighty desperate to even consider Manuel at this point in the season. But with teams resting starters, Manuel isn’t the worst option. The Jets secondary has been horrid all year, so there’s a good chance Manuel takes advantage of this opportunity and produces a big game.

WR Paul Richardson, Seattle Seahawks

Seattle placed Tyler Lockett on IR this week, which means Richardson is now the team’s lone deep threat. He’ll have plenty of opportunities to show off his speed against an overmatched 49ers secondary.

TE Jesse James, Pittsburgh Steelers

Deangelo Williams Survivor

The start-anyone-playing-the-Browns strategy has worked for fantasy owners all season, and that won’t change in Week 17. Yes, the Steelers are resting their key starters, but James won’t be one of them. And the Browns have allowed the most touchdowns to tight ends this season.
