The Cowboys have clinched the NFC East and a postseason berth, so there's a chance that coach Jason Garrett could rest his starters against the Washington Redskins next week. That includes DeMarco Murray, who played in Week 16 despite having surgery on his hand earlier in the week. Should this scenario come to fruition, Randle would figure to see plenty of carries in the regular-season finale.

When a running back has a matchup against the Tennessee Titans, he has a sudden increase in fantasy value. As a result, that makes Herron a nice sleeper across the board as the Colts take on the Titans in Week 17. While he continues to share the workload with Trent Richardson, Herron has still been the better of the two runners from a fantasy perspective in recent weeks. He's a viable Week 17 starter if you're still alive.

Nicks' numbers didn't pop off the page in Week 16, but he still figures to be more involved in the Colts pass attack as long as T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) is out of action. And when you consider that the team has nothing to gain in Week 17, it wouldn't shock me to see them sit Hilton again so he's healthier for the postseason. If that happens, Nicks could have some value against the Titans.

Beasley isn't the sexiest name in fantasy football, but he has been more productive in recent weeks. In fact, he's scored a touchdown in three of his last five games (four total) including a score in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Beasley is a deep-league choice to be certain, but he should see his share of targets against a Washington defense that has struggled against wide receivers.
