Trevor Lawrence has thrown just one touchdown pass in his last eight games, and getting off the schneid will be exceedingly difficult for Jacksonville's rookie quarterback in Week 17 against a Patriots defense that's allowing a league-low 17.3 points per game.

DK Metcalf scored a touchdown for the Seahawks last week, but he's failed to surpass 60 yards in a game since Week 7, but his target volume will give him a chance to post a strong outing in a Week 17 matchup against a Lions defense that's that's given up the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks.

DeVonta Smith found the end zone last game for the Eagles and will face a suspect Washington secondary in Week 17 that's yielded the most passing scores in the NFL to date this season.

Ezekiel Elliott scored twice last game for Dallas but will face a fairly stingy Cardinals run defense in Week 17 that's allowed just eight rushing touchdowns on the season, which is tied for first in the NFL.

George Kittle has been a feast-or-famine fantasy option over the 49ers' last five games, but he'll be impossible to bench in a Week 17 matchup against a Texans defense that's allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing TEs over the last five weeks.

Devin Singletary has at least 78 total yards in three straight games for the Bills, but in Week 17, he gets a Falcons defense that ranks 25th in rush DVOA so far in 2021.

Lamar Jackson has thrown for at least 235 passing yards in all but two of his healthy games this year for the Ravens, but in Week 17, he gets a Rams defense that ranks sixth in DVOA so far in 2021.

Tyler Boyd has gained at least 85 yards in three of his last four games for the Bengals, and in Week 17, he gets a Chiefs defense that ranks 13th in pass DVOA so far in 2021.

D'Andre Swift has missed four games for the Lions, and while he appears trending towards a return as early as Week 17 against the Seahawks, he'd unlikely see workhorse volume against a defense that's allowing just 3.7 yards per carry, though have been vulnerable to backs in the passing game.

Dustin Hopkins is a perfect six-for-six on field goals and eight-for-eight on extra points over the last three games, but his opportunities could be limited in Week 17 as the Chargers take on a Broncos squad allowing 17.3 points a game, tied for the best mark in the league.
