Ranking fantasy winners of Week 17

1. Baker Mayfield, QB; Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

With a matchup against the talent-deficient Panthers defense, Mayfield hit season highs across the board in points (34.56), passing yards (359) and touchdowns (five). Mayfield was absolutely dialed in, completing 84.4% of his throws. Evans, who scored 29.7 points, caught eight of his nine targets for 97 yards, including two low red zone touchdown receptions. With a Week 18 matchup against a Saints team just playing out the schedule, Mayfield will remain a locked-in QB1. You can bet on that, while Evans fits here as a lower-tier WR1. -- Bowen
