|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 21 | 86% (–) | 5 | Tom Brady torched the Miami Dolphins for 356 yards and four touchdowns in their first meeting this season, and New England is still playing for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. | ||||
WR | 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. | ||||
WR | 9 | 81% (–) | 61 | Sammy Watkins was held out of the end zone for the first time in five games and will draw coverage from Darrelle Revis this weekend, though he has collected at least five catches in three-straight contests. | ||||
WR | 8 | 19% (–) | 113 | Markus Wheaton caught three passes for 41 yards on Sunday, the first time in five weeks that he didn't generate at least 65 yards and/or a touchdown, but has a solid match-up in Week 17 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. | ||||
RB | 9 | 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. | ||||
RB | 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. | ||||
TE | 4 | 21% (–) | 160 | After returning to the end zone for the first time in five weeks, Kyle Rudolph faces a Packers defense which he posted a season-high 106 yards and a score against in Week 11 and one that has allowed seven touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season, though none in the last three weeks. | ||||
BN | 7 | 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 | 5 | 7% (–) | 196 | Joique Bell has scored in consecutive weeks but continues to share snaps with Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick and faces a Bears defense that has allowed the ninth-fewest rushing touchdowns (9) on the year. | ||||
BN | 8 | 25% (-1) | 75 | Cameron Artis-Payne will likely be called upon to start his third straight game and is a solid option against a mid-tier Bucs defense with his 4.5 yards per carry. | ||||
BN | 4 | 1% (–) | 226 | With the Panthers’ backfield in flux thanks to injuries and rest, Mike Tolbert could be in line for some extra work, but don’t expect more than a handful of touches for the hybrid fullback. | ||||
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 | 4 | 9% (–) | 134 | Coby Fleener has just four catches for 31 yards the last three weeks and there's uncertainty at the quarterback position entering the Indianapolis Colts' Week 17 game against the Tennessee Titans. | ||||
BN | 6 | 9% (–) | 135 | Terrance Williams had a team-high 10 targets in the loss to Buffalo with Dez Bryant sidelined but converted it for just four catches and 62 yards. | ||||
BN | 4 | 1% (–) | 241 | Britt led the St. Louis passing game in catches (three) and receiving yards (49) and scored for the second straight week but remains an unreliable option despite the late-season uptick as the Rams travel to San Francisco to close out the season. | ||||
BN | 14 | 7% (–) | 37 | Brock Osweiler threw for at least 290 yards for the third straight game in Week 16's win over the Bengals, and faces a soft Chargers defense Sunday as the Broncos attempt to clinch the AFC West and a first round bye. | ||||
