This is what we have been playing for all year! Championship week is here and I have some of the best streamers off the wire to help get you over the edge and win that title!


First, Guys with streaming potential who are over 50% Owned to look for on your wire!


DET QB Jared Goff (60.0% Owned)
KC RB Jerick McKinnon (73.4% Owned)
GB RB AJ Dillon (76.5% Owned)
LAR RB Cam Akers (60.4% Owned)
PIT WR George Pickens (53.4% Owned)
NE WR Jakobi Meyers (55.4% Owned)
LAR TE Tyler Higbee (72.6% Owned)



SF QB Brock Purdy (27.4% Owned)


I sound like a broken record here, but Purdy continues to be the most reliable widely owned QB streaming option on the market. There isn’t a great chance that he will drop a 30 bomb for you in the championship, but in a matchup with the Raiders, 20 is a great possibility.


ATL RB Tyler Allgeier (17.2% Owned)


If you want volume and a great matchup, Allgeier might just be your guy at RB. He saw 18 carries and 4 catches on 5 targets in week 16. For comparison, backfield mate Cordarrelle Patterson saw 8 carries and 1 target. He is becoming the lead back in Atlanta who looks to keep their playoff hopes alive in a green matchup vs Arizona. He is a solid streamer to help you get a championship.


NYG WR Isaiah Hodgins (0.3% Owned)


Hodgins is probably the least sexy name that you would want to pick up, but there is no doubt that since his release from Buffalo, he has been the exact thing that Daniel Jones has needed. Hodgins had a career game in week 16 and now has 10+ points in 3 of his last 4 games. If you need a flex fill in for the championship, you can do worse than Hodgins.


LV WR Hunter Renfrow (27.8% Owned)


Better late than never, Renfrow and the Raiders are healthy. Renfrow has started to make the impact we were expecting him to make at the start of the season as he saw 7 targets this week. If you are someone who is looking for anyone to play WR or flex, you may find some comfort picking up a name you have heard and relied on before. He also is in a green matchup which makes me think that Renfrow has that sneaky potential to be a last minute league winner.


WAS WR Jahan Dotson (7.8% Owned)


Dotson is in a bit of a crowded WR room in Washington, but these last 2 weeks he finally looks healthy and he is getting his looks. The explosive rookie has 18.5 and 16.6 over his last 2 weeks. This is a boom or bust streamer, but might be what you need if you are an underdog entering the final week.


Arizona Cardinals DST (20.7% Owned)


The Cardinals have a boom or bust defense but they are playing against the Falcons and a rookie QB coming off a performance where they failed to score a TD. They are a solid stream and could get you a big number.
