It’s the final week of the regular season in most fantasy leagues – so playoff berths (and for the more fortunate, playoff seeding) will be on the line. Unfortunately, a season-high six NFL teams will be on bye, creating any number of lineup issues. Perhaps the most important one: ill this week’s top-ranked running back — Saquon Barkley — be active?
