For some of you, it all comes down to today: Win and you're in (or win and you get a critically important bye). Good luck to all of you.
As always, here are the fantasy storylines I'm most interested in for each Sunday team:
Falcons vs. Saints -- If Todd Gurley plays, will it matter? Atlanta can part ways after the season. They don't owe him any snaps, and it's quite possible they'll give Brian Hill or Ito Smith more touches simply to evaluate their 2021 options. And is Michael Thomas a reliable starter with Taysom Hill at QB?
Bears vs. Lions -- This summer I railed against the fantasy universe for their consensus RB-25 ranking of David Montgomery. I wrote he was "an obvious top-20 investment with realistic top-14 upside." He's currently the #15 RB scorer with a clear shot at the top 10 if he can string together double-digit points these final five games. His remaining schedule is terrific. Will he capitalize? And can Kerryon Johnson be useful in D'Andre Swift's absence?
Titans vs. Browns -- Geoff Swaim is one of my favorite TE flyers with Jonnu Smith out. Could be a bust, but his TD potential is sizable against the Browns D tied for the league's sixth most passing TDs given up. And is Jarvis Landry now trustworthy?
Dolphins vs. Bengals -- Who Myles Gaskin do enough in his first game back to fend off Salvon Ahmed and Matt Breida in future weeks? And is Tee Higgins a weekly starter, even with Brandon Allen at QB?
Vikings vs. Jaguars -- With Minnesota still in the playoff hunt, Dalvin Cook less than 100%, and Alexander Mattison out, will we see a fantasy-friendly workload for Mike Boone? And was Mike Glennon's competent showing against the Browns a fluke, or can he keep some Jag receivers relevant?
Jets vs. Raiders -- Jamison Crowder hasn't been the same since Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims got healthy: 46 targets in his first four contests and only nine in his last three. Which Crowder will we see down the stretch? And can Devontae Booker replicate the frequent dominance he's displayed as a backup?
Texans vs. Colts -- All (my) eyes are on David Johnson and Keke Coutee. It's hard to imagine both flopping, even against a conceivably tough Indy D, though it's harder to trust Johnson. And can Jonathan Taylor be "the guy" in the Colts' backfield?
Cardinals vs. Rams -- Like David Montgomery, Kenyan Drake has caught fire recently and is a stone's throw from the top 14. Will he continue to fend off Chase Edmonds? And will Cam Akers continue to take over the Rams' backfield?
Seahawks vs. Giants -- Will Josh Gordon's reinstatement have any impact on anyone? And can Colt McCoy throw for more than 150?
Packers vs. Eagles -- After earning zero targets last week, is Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the outs with Allen Lazard back? And is this the week Philly takes a closer look at Jalen Hurts?
Chargers vs. Patriots -- Mike Williams is one of the highest-upside WR4/5's out there. And is James White back to being a weekly starter?
Chiefs vs. Broncos -- Sammy Watkins was third in targets last week and remains as under-the-radar as any seemingly unstartable receiver. He's earned 7+ targets in four of six games. And assuming Phillip Lindsay plays, will he outplay Melvin Gordon?
