In the final week of the fantasy football championship, tough start 'em, sit 'em decisions can make or break teams, and fantasy managers are searching for the best players to put in their lineups. Fortunately, some standout options have emerged, including Matthew Stafford, Chuba Hubbard, and Chris Godwin.

Matthew Stafford, the veteran quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams, has been on fire lately with five straight games of multiple touchdown passes. In the last two weeks, Stafford has completed an impressive 73.1% of his passes. Despite not having the highest ceiling compared to other options like Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray, Stafford's reliable and elevated performance makes him a strong top-10 play in Week 17.

Running back Chuba Hubbard of the Carolina Panthers has been a pleasant surprise, returning consistent fantasy value over the past five games. With at least 17 touches in each of those games, Hubbard has become the focal point of the Panthers' run-centric offense. Ranked ahead of players like Austin Ekeler and Derrick Henry, Hubbard is a top-20 play and a reliable RB2 option for fantasy managers.

Another player who has turned his season around is Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a disappointing stretch, Godwin has come alive in the past three weeks, with three double-target games. In a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints, where Godwin dominated earlier this season, he is a solid option at the wide receiver position. Fantasy managers who stuck with Godwin through the struggles can now reap the benefits of his increased usage.

On the flip side, there are players who may not be the best choices for Week 17. De'Von Achane, the explosive rookie running back, has struggled with inconsistent touches and has posted three straight finishes outside the top 25 at his position. Despite his potential, Achane's role is uncertain, making him a riskier fantasy option.

Odell Beckham Jr., the veteran wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, has seen a decline in production over the past two weeks, gaining just 27 yards on six targets. While he still possesses upside, Beckham's low floor and a tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins put him outside the top 40 wide receivers for Week 17.

Demarcus Robinson of the Kansas City Chiefs has been scoring consistently over the past four games. However, his inconsistent target volume puts him on the fringe for fantasy managers. While he presents a flex option in a favorable matchup, other receivers with more consistent roles, such as Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jordan Addison, are safer choices.

As the fantasy football championship week approaches, making the right start 'em, sit 'em decisions is crucial. Matthew Stafford, Chuba Hubbard, and Chris Godwin emerge as strong picks, while De'Von Achane, Odell Beckham Jr., and Demarcus Robinson should be approached with caution. Fantasy managers should carefully consider these options to secure victory in their championship matches.
