Each week, we'll touch on topics and players that may not necessarily be relevant in single-year formats, but they can make a splash in keeper leagues.
With that being said, let's look at the dynasty rundown for Week 17.

Guards
Furkan Korkmaz, Philadelphia 76ers
The 22-year-old has opened up for 30 or more points in each of the last two games. He combined to hit 13 threes in the two games. That may or may not hold, but he has become the primary source of offense off the bench. If you can still find him on the wire, he should be picked up.
Gary Trent Jr., Portland Trail Blazers
Trent has really found a niche inside the offense and averaged 19 points, four boards and four steals per game. Guard Anfernee Simons (concussion) is out indefinitely with a concussion, and Trent should have free reign for the supplemental offense off the bench. His run might have sparked owners' attention in your league already, but he's worth the scoop if he's there.
Forwards
Juan Hernangomez, Minnesota Timberwolves
The fourth-year man came over from Denver and averaged 14.5 points and three boards in his first two games. He has been lights out from deep going 5-for-8 from three-point range, which has helped his cause. The minutes at the four figure to be all his after the recent roster shakeup. Give him a shot in deeper formats.
Chandler Hutchison, Chicago Bulls
The 23-year-old swingman has scored in double figures in three of five games recently. He shot just 2-for-9 in Sunday's game for five points, but he posted seven boards and four assists. Hutchison can contribute in other categories even on off nights, and he's playing close to 30 minutes a night now. He has long-term value and some short-term appeal.
Jabari Parker, Sacramento Kings
The newly acquired Parker is expected to receive a long look from the team in the second half. Parker (shoulder) is close to returning from a shoulder injury and was playing at a high level before he went down. If he was dropped in your league, pick him up and see what he can rekindle.
Centers
Thon Maker, Detroit Pistons
The 7-footer opened eyes with 12 points and 12 boards Monday night. His banner games have been few and far between in his four-year career. He's limited offensively, but he can thrive in certain matchups. The Pistons have a slew of injuries in a lost season, and Maker's playing time should only increase. Give him another shot if he's out there.
