Fantasy football free agent pickups: Load up on Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17
Eric Karabell explains why Omarion Hampton is a top-20 fantasy running back for the rest of the season. (0:53)
The 16th Sunday of the NFL season may be most remembered for the stunning end to the Detroit Lions' loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers (offensive pass interference twice!), but it also featured fantastic performances by Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown and New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave, among others. The Jaguars winning in Denver was arguably the most notable outcome of the day.
Meanwhile, Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart, Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams, Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London and Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride all disappointed fantasy managers. Allen scored only 6.9 points. Dart scored 0.02 points — that's not a misprint! Injuries removed Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (leg) and, later in the day, New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (head).
NFC Hierarchy/Obituary: Week 17 edition
The Seahawks are the new top team in the NFC, for now.
Week 16 of the NFL season is in the books. There were crazy games that could decide the winners of the NFC North and NFC West, and in turn, the top two seeds in the NFC playoffs. Meanwhile, we saw the first repeat NFC East champs clinch the division for the first time in over 20 years, and a first-place flip in the NFC South.
9) Buccaneers (7-8): The Bucs have lost three straight, one at a time to each of their three divisional rivals. At yet, at 7-8, with six losses in their last seven games, they still "control their own destiny" for another NFC South title if they can find a way to win their final two games. That's kind of pathetic.

Fantasy Football Trust Meter: Can you rely on these QBs and offenses to help you win a championship in Week 17?
Every offseason, I rewatch The Lord of the Rings trilogy. They’re easy to throw on while I’m working, the score is phenomenal but I get sucked into the action every time. Anyway, the sequence that still gets me is Sam and Frodo’s climb up the side of Mount Doom. Shear exhaustion and the urgency to finish their quest limited any planning time. They assessed the situation, reacted accordingly and chaos ensued.
The next seven days of fantasy football will be no different.

We’ve been on this journey for four months. Remember what your team looked like at the onset of the season? Bet there’ve been some changes since. Or, a couple of ill-timed injuries may have forced you to make some unplanned decisions, too. It happens. But this is the final push. Our last shot at reviewing the landscape to make the best lineup. And after Week 16, there are a few situations worth monitoring to determine our level of trust before we let players decide who’ll take down our fantasy football leagues.
