Start ‘Em, Sit 'Em is the ultimate look at the best and worst matchups based on a PPR scoring system in fantasy football. This column will not cover the elite players in the NFL like Josh Allen, Austin Ekeler or Tyreek Hill. Instead, I'll look at the players you have questions about who could exceed or fail to meet expectations at each position.

Week 17 Start ‘Em: Running Backs
Start of the Week
Travis Etienne at Texans (1 p.m. ET, CBS): Etienne hasn't put up great totals recently, scoring 12.7 or fewer points in all but one of his last six games. On a positive note, he continues to see a clear majority of the Jaguars' backfield touches, and a matchup against the Texans is favorable. No team has allowed more fantasy points to running backs, so Etienne should produce a nice stat line this week.
