Fantasy Football Week 17 Sleepers: Underrated lineup options that could help you in your championship matchup

Week 17 is probably a good time to play the hits, roll with your big-name players. But challenges vary from league to league, and we want to help you if you might be digging deep. Everyone that follows is rostered in under 50% of Yahoo leagues.

Taysom Hill at Titans (12%): We want to be careful about chasing points here - it's possible Hill's Week 16 explosion was a retirement gift from the team as he made his final career start at home. Still, Hill could be the most efficient ball carrier among the healthy backs on the roster, and Tennessee is not a daunting matchup.

Dylan Sampson vs. Steelers (21%): He didn't play last week, dealing with hand and calf injuries, but there's an opening in the Cleveland backfield with Quinshon Judkins hurt. Sampson's receiving work has been sharp at various points this year.

Tyler Shough at Titans (17%): Shough seems to get a little better every week, and you could say that about the New Orleans offense as well. He's scored between 17 and 23 points in five of his last six starts, and Tennessee presents a top-10 matchup for opposing quarterbacks.

Blake Corum at Falcons (44%): You're threading the needle when you try to get production from a non-starting back, but Corum does have 44 carries and five rushing touchdowns in the past four games; he's carved out a regular role. Game script could be favorable, with the Rams 8-point favorites on the road.

Tre Tucker vs. Giants (42%): He's the No. 1 WR on this roster, for whatever that may mean, and Tucker did rebound with 54 total yards in the competitive loss at Houston last week. The Giants present a much friendlier matchup here.

Jake Tonges vs. Bears (2%): We list Tonges as much for insurance purposes as sleeper purposes; he could be a fun play if George Kittle (ankle) can't go Sunday night. Tonges has turned a modest 37 targets into a useful 27-233-4 line this year, and Brock Purdy is playing at a high level.
