Fantasy football: FanDuel NFL 2020 best lineup for Week 17
By Nick Villano
Wide Receiver: Marquise Brown $6,000
Hollywood Brown’s season has looked closer to the Valley than Rodeo Drive this season. While he hasn’t been the superstar he hoped he’d be, he’s at least playing pretty consistently as of late. The Ravens’ top receiver has had double-digit points in five-straight contests.
Who knows what happened on November 22nd when Brown hit rock bottom and caught zero passes for zero yards. Since then, he’s been good. He has a touchdown in four of the last five matchups. Brown is finally that big playmaker fantasy players hoped for at the beginning of the season.
He’s always been getting targets from Lamar Jackson, but now he can actually turn those targets into catches. Now, he’s facing a really bad defense in the Cincinnati Bengals. Back in Week 5, Brown had his best week of the season. He had six catches on 10 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown. That week’s opponent if you have been paying attention are these same Cincinnati Bengals.
Brown is going to put it on himself to help the Ravens secure a playoff spot. This is the defense to do it against. He will have the opportunities to excel this week, and there’s a really good chance he will turn those opportunities into major fantasy points.
Other Options: Cole Beasley $5,900, A.J. Brown $8,400
