Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 21 | 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 | 82% (–) | 52 | Jeremy Maclin scored his fifth touchdown in the last five games during Week 16's win over the Browns, and should be Alex Smith's primary target again Sunday against the Raiders. | ||||
WR | 8 | 73% (–) | 87 | Emmanuel Sanders scored for the second straight game in Week 16's win over the Bengals, and should be Brock Osweiler's primary target Sunday against a soft Chargers defense due to Demaryius Thomas' hamstring injury. | ||||
WR | 9 | 74% (–) | 66 | Though Tate failed to score for the first time in three weeks last Sunday, he's still posted five touchdowns in his last five games and faces a Bears secondary which he scored his first touchdown of the season against in Week 6. | ||||
RB | 9 | 78% (-1) | 79 | Latavius Murray topped 100 combined yards in last week's win over the Chargers for the first time since Week 8, and he'll take on a Chiefs defense Sunday that he ran for 86 yards and a TD against in their last matchup. | ||||
RB | 5 | 52% (-3) | 191 | Denard Robinson has filled in for T.J. Yeldon the last two weeks, but shared the running back duties with Jonas Gray, a situation that could play itself out in Week 17 when the Jacksonville Jaguars play the Houston Texans. | ||||
TE | 3 | 69% (-2) | 218 | Jordan Reed had another monster game against Philadelphia with nine catches and two scores, giving him 25 catches and five touchdowns the past three weeks but could see limited action with Washington having clinched the division. | ||||
BN | 0 | 18% (–) | 2415 | |||||
BN | 9 | 63% (–) | 67 | Michael Crabtree scored his eighth touchdown of the season in Week 16's win over the Chargers, and with Amari Cooper potentially limited due to a foot injury, he could see additional targets Sunday against a tough Chiefs defense. | ||||
BN | 6 | 68% (–) | 127 | Early in the practice week, we still don't know which quarterback will be throwing to T.Y. Hilton in the Indianapolis Colts' Week 17 game against the Tennessee Titans. | ||||
BN | 0 | 23% (–) | 2466 | Jonathan Stewart may return for Week 17 after a two-week absence, but he likely won’t touch close to his full workload of 20-plus carries per game. | ||||
BN | 8 | 74% (-1) | 82 | Amari Cooper is coming off one of his worst performances of the season and could see limited snaps Sunday against a tough Chiefs defense due to a foot injury in a game that means little to the Raiders. | ||||
BN | 10 | 28% (–) | 55 | Karlos Williams split touches with Mike Gillislee though still managed nearly 100 yards from scrimmage along with a touchdown; however, the New York Jets have been stout against the run, and LeSean McCoy may also be returning from injury. | ||||

K | 8 | 84% (–) | 187 | Hauschka hasn't been able to take full advantage of the late-season offensive outburst from the Seattle offense as quarterback Russell Wilson has been ruthlessly efficient in the red zone but a Week 17 road game against the Cardinals should afford some kicking chances if Wilson can keep the offense humming along. | ||||
