10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 17
Brian Hoyer returns from injury this week just in time for a great Week 17 matchup. What other under-the-radar players look good this week?

C.J. Anderson, RB, Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are one of a few teams remaining that have something to play for this week, as a bye and potentially home-field advantage are on the line. Because of this, we should see all of the usuals available for them, including C.J. Anderson.

Anderson has been more productive than Ronnie Hillman of late -- Hillman has now gone over a month without averaging 4.0 yards in a single game -- and appears to be largely healthy. Facing a San Diego defense that ranks 29th in terms of our Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP metric, Anderson is a nice upside play this week.

The Chargers have been better against the run over recent weeks, but also just allowed Latavius Murray to post 79 rushing yards and a touchdown last Thursday. As those who've owned him this year will attest to, there's plenty of risk associated with him, so be sure to weigh it appropriately when making your lineup decisions this week.
