Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at The Score.

Always appreciate you tuning into the show. And right now, you've made it this far. Your lineup is mostly locked

in, I'd imagine. But I'm going to go over five storylines that I think could impact some fantasy

championships this week, things that are changing heading into week 17. Before we get to that,

though, this is the last Wednesday show of the season.

So the final time this year that I'm going to say, let's go over my three unapologetically bold

predictions for week 17, courtesy of our friends at Captain Morgan.

And my first bold prediction this week, Travis Kelsey will post over 100 yards and two

touchdowns versus the Bengals.

The veteran tight end, he called out the entire offense this week, including himself for not

being accountable lately, and that's led to some surprising struggles for this Chief's offense.

Fortunately, a bounceback spot has arrived Kansas City seven-point favorites at home against

the Cincinnati defense that's allowed

the second most fantasy points to tight ends this season. So get ready to ride Kelsey to a fantasy

championship. My next bold prediction, Austin Echler is going to deliver a vintage performance

in week 17 and finishes a top five fantasy running back. And it's been an odd year for Echler.

He suffered that high ankle sprain in week one he missed some time because of it when he came back the offense they've dealt

with so many injuries to keep pieces at different times throughout the year too like

Justin Herbert Mike Williams Keenan Allen Josh Palmer Herbert and Williams they're out

for the season.

Alan, he might not be available this week either.
