QB | 23.95 | 73% (–) | 7 | Ben Roethlisberger completed 24 or 34 pass attempts for 215 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions on Sunday, the first time all season that Roethlisberger threw for zero touchdowns but multiple interceptions, but he has a good match-up in Week 17 in a must-win game against a Cleveland Browns defense that allows 244.2 yards per game through the air but ranks 28th in the NFL with 31 touchdowns allowed through the air. | ||||
WR | 10.08 | 90% (-1) | 72 | Demaryius Thomas is listed as questionable Sunday against the Chargers due to a hamstring injury, and despite a favorable matchup against a soft Chargers defense he could see limited snaps as the Broncos prepare for the postseason. | ||||
WR | 10.65 | 55% (–) | 74 | Brown hasn't flashed his big play ability in the last two weeks but did stretch his TD-streak to three games in a Week 16 win and will look to continue the streak in a home game against the Seahawks in Week 17. | ||||
WR | 4.31 | 5% (–) | 2467 | Smith caught two balls for just 23 yards but did manage his second TD in four weeks but remains a weekly dart throw with limited upside in a struggling San Francisco offense as the 49ers host the Rams in Week 17. | ||||
RB | 8.95 | 8% (+1) | 101 | Isaiah Crowell rushed 16 times for 88 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, his second big effort in three games, but in Week 17 he has a tough match-up against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that allows only 91.5 yards per game on the ground (sixth in the NFL) and that has given up only six rushing touchdowns all season (second in the NFL). | ||||
RB | 9.82 | 21% (+1) | 83 | Rashad Jennings dominated the carries for a third straight week (14 totes for 74 yards) and added 62 yards on two catches, making him a solid play given his matchup against the Eagles. | ||||

BN | 8.41 | 12% (–) | 118 | Alfred Blue has returned to his spot atop the Houston Texans' running back depth chart entering a Week 17 home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who rank 13th against the rush (103.3 ypg). | ||||
BN | 8.69 | 53% (–) | 109 | Floyd led the team in catches (six), targets (eight) and receiving yards (111) but failed to find the end zone as Arizona was in cruise control after a pair of early defensive TDs in the second half but figures to have a full afternoon ahead of him in a Week 17 matchup against Seattle as Arizona looks to secure home field throughout the NFC playoffs. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 2% (–) | 1923 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 0% (–) | 2066 | |||||
BN | 0.11 | 0% (-1) | 2688 | Brandon Weeden has been effective while filling in for Brian Hoyer (concussion), but head coach Bill O'Brien said if Hoyer is medically cleared, he will start Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. | ||||

K | 6.73 | 6% (–) | 236 | Dawson continues to struggle to find many scoring opportunities in a stagnant San Francisco offense and a Week 17 home game against the Rams doesn't figure to change his fortunes too much. | ||||
BN | 6.88 | 24% (–) | 231 | Sebastian Janikowski connected on multiple field goals last week for the second straight game, including his fourth FG of 50-plus yards, but faces a Chiefs defense Sunday allowing just 18 points a game, second in the league. | ||||
