In many ways, Week 17 is a crapshoot. Normally reliable starters sit out much or all of their games, while backups often rule the day. So, for better or worse, here are my picks to roll, or get rolled, among players on the Week 17 bubble in standard fantasy leagues.

Derek Anderson, QB, Browns vs. 49ers -- With postseason hopes alive, and an apathetic team coming to town, the table is set for another outstanding performance from Anderson and his stellar receiving corps.

LenDale White, RB, Titans at Colts -- Indy won't have its foot on the gas in this one, so Tennessee won't have to pass to keep pace. White will carry the load, and his team's playoff hopes, on Monday night.

Kenny Watson, RB, Bengals at Dolphins -- Rudi Johnson is still bothered by his hamstring (shocking!), leaving the door open to another juicy start for his bulldozing backup. Bill Parcells' glaring eyes won't help Miami's league-worst rush defense.

Jerricho Cotchery, WR, Jets vs. Chiefs -- With Laveranues Coles out, Cotchery has been the most reliable target on his team. He should finish strong at home in this matchup of awful teams.

Santana Moss, WR, Redskins vs. Cowboys -- He burned Dallas for 121 yards and a score in their Week 11 meeting, and will need to have a similar outing with a wild-card berth at stake. The visitors have little more than pride on the line.

Peyton Manning, QB, Colts vs. Titans -- Jim Sorgi will play at least half the game -- probably closer to all of it -- as the franchise watches from the sidelines after making his 160th consecutive start. In years past, Manning has played just one series in meaningless Week 17 contests.

Earnest Graham, RB, Buccaneers vs. Panthers -- He left early last weekend, and will undoubtedly do so again Sunday. Michael Pittman and Michael Bennett should pick up the slack.

Marion Barber, RB, Cowboys at Redskins -- He needs 19 yards to reach 1,000 for the season. In this postseason dress rehearsal, don't count on much more than that.

Joseph Addai, RB, Colts vs. Titans -- If he doesn't score early, he won't be of much value in your lineup. Kenton Keith, or even Clifton Dawson, are better bets against a motivated Tennessee defense.

Wes Welker, WR, Patriots at Giants -- Tom Brady and Randy Moss need two scoring hookups to break important NFL single-season records. They should get them, but Welker probably won't play a big role.

Charlie Batch, QB, Steelers at Ravens -- Ben Roethlisberger is expected to sit out Sunday's game. Batch has a history of strong performances from the bench, and should have little trouble dissecting Baltimore's reeling secondary.

Don't be the bonehead who ... plays for a title in Week 17 of 2008. Insist that your league change its schedule for next season to avoid the mistake it made this year.
