Who should I start for Week 17? Fantasy football outlooks for Tucker Kraft, Chig Okonkwo, Brenton Strange. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
The chances are that if you are reading this you are getting ready for a finals matchup in your fantasy football league.
Congrats on making it this far, now it's time to secure a championship and most importantly - bragging rights for the next nine months.
A big week for your fantasy team likely starts with your starting quarterback. Let's take a look at some potential QB options for Week 17 who can help your team bring home the trophy.
Should I Start Tucker Kraft for Fantasy Football?
Kraft is having a strong season for the Packers, averaging 8.5 fantasy points per game in Half-PPR and 9.9 fantasy points per game in Full-PPR formats. His snap count was down to 62% last week only because the Packers were blowing out the Saints and pulled multiple starters out of the game early.
Amongst NFL Tight Ends Tucker Kraft is currently:
2nd in Yards Per Reception: 14.0
2nd in YACOE: +136
2nd in Target Separation: 4.5
3rd in Touchdowns: 7All while being targeted 21st most with only 60 targets.
Cap hit for the next 3 years:
2024: $1.2
2025: $1.5
2026: $1.7 pic.twitter.com/HZXYrF59qX— Packerfan Total Access- Clayton (@packers_access) December 26, 2024
Kraft's game has been a bit boom/bust this season, but one of his best performances this year came against the Vikings earlier this season when he caught six passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. While Minnesota does have a strong defense and pass rush, they have funneled production to slot receivers and tight ends quite often.
Kraft is certainly worthy of a start in all formats and is likely to be very involved in the game plan for Green Bay, who will likely be forced to throw the ball a lot by Minnesota. Fire him up!
Should I Start Chig Okonkwo for Fantasy Football?
Okonkwo is having quite the stellar finish to his 2024 campaign and is one of only a few bright spots in this Tennessee offense. He's garnered 21 targets over the last two weeks, catching 17 of those passes and racking up 130 yards.

His snap share was up to 85% last week and his target share was a whopping 32%. With Mason Rudolph set to start again for Tennessee, expect Chig to get peppered with targets once more as he's one of only a few playmakers who can make things happen after the catch for this Titans offense.
He's not likely available on the wire any longer, but if you have him on your team, you're probably starting him over only a few other players at the position.
Should I Start Brenton Strange for Fantasy Football?
I'm going to say "no," on this one unless you have no other options. Strange went from being a target monster two weeks ago to getting benched last week after losing a fumble and he let a lot of fantasy managers down who started him.
After his fumble to close out the second quarter last week, Brenton Strange ran *three total routes* over the entirety of the 2H of last week's matchup.
Tough start/sit with petty coaching decisions potentially impacting fantasy titles this week.
— Tyler Buecher (@TylerBuecher) December 27, 2024
While some coaches are more quick to forgive players for fumbles than others, it's really hard to know how Strange will be handled here by his coaching staff. The Jags don't have many other options, but they could continue to limit Strange this week if they don't trust his ball security. He's a talented player who could pop off in this spot, but it's really hard to roll him out there without knowing that he will be back to the same level of involvement that we saw in Week 15.
