Tony Romo is a solid choice if he's healthy as he can lead the Cowboys to the NFC East title with a win against the Giants.

Most fantasy football leagues wrapped up their seasons over the weekend, so even if you came out on top, you probably don't have another fantasy squad to toy with this week. Don't worry; we still have your jones covered here with the Gridiron Challenge, as we run right through the final minutes of the 2011 NFL regular season. In fact, we won't even stop there, as you can continue enjoying salary-cap football in our Gridiron Playoff Challenge. If you pick the right players on the teams that make it to the Super Bowl, you can beat your friends and maybe even pick up a couple grand from Best Buy. Before we move on to the postseason, though, let's mine through the Gridiron Challenge contracts one more time for the juiciest gems for Week 17.

Position Review: Week 17

Quarterbacks

Market Fluctuations
There were no major injuries to the top quarterbacks in Week 16, but that doesn't mean some of them won't be limited this week. The Green Bay Packers have home-field locked up through the playoffs, and with their shot at a perfect season gone, there's a very realistic chance that Aaron Rodgers won't play much. The same goes for Drew Brees, who secured his place in history Monday night and whose team may have little to play for, depending on how the San Francisco 49ers fare Sunday. The bottom line is that neither is likely to have a max game in the regular-season finale, so even though you may have ridden them all season long, you may want to look to Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford or Tony Romo this weekend instead.

Best Values
Tony Romo (7.0), Dallas Cowboys: A hand injury knocked Romo out against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, so his price dropped $300K. At a relatively reasonable $7 million, Romo's a nice fit as a replacement for Rodgers or Brees this week if you've been riding them for weeks on a cheaper contract. Assuming his hand isn't an issue, Romo could tear up the New York Giants secondary like he did three weeks ago for 321 yards and four touchdowns.

Tim Tebow (6.5), Denver Broncos: In a typical league where interceptions count against a quarterback, Week 16 was a nightmare for Tebow, as he threw four picks against the Buffalo Bills. Fortunately, we don't roll like that in the Gridiron Challenge. We don't punish you for turnovers, which means he still cranked out a solid 20 points. This weekend, he gets a home game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He has plenty of upside and still has a decent price tag. ... MORE »
