Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 21.58 | 49% (+3) | 12 | Joe Burrow has thrown for at least 300 yards in three of his past four outings for the Bengals, and in Week 17, he gets a Chiefs defense that ranks 13th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
WR | 9.80 | 44% (+20) | 78 | Mike Williams will miss his second straight game on the COVID-19 list in Week 17 as the Chargers host the Broncos. | ||||
WR | 4.58 | 10% (-2) | 220 | Mecole Hardman found the end zone for the first time since late September in last week's win over the Steelers and has seen his target volume trend upward recently, but he remains a secondary option in the Kansas City offense heading into a Week 17 clash with a Bengals defense that ranks 29th in passing yards per game allowed. | ||||
RB | 13.22 | 87% (–) | 41 | Josh Jacobs topped 100 rushing yards last week for the first time all season, giving him some momentum heading into the Raiders' Week 17 tilt with a Colts defense that's given up only nine rushing TDs all season, tied for fourth in the league. | ||||
RB | 12.09 | 74% (+14) | 53 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
TE | 7.95 | 75% (-8) | 127 | Kyle Pitts has topped 60 receiving yards in each of Atlanta's last three games heading into a Week 17 matchup against a Buffalo defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. | ||||
W/R | 9.35 | 69% (-4) | 85 | Terry McLaurin's production continues to be limited by shoddy quarterback play, and it appears both Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen will receive snaps for Washington in Week 17 versus an Eagles defense allowing just 215.6 passing yards per outing, which is ninth in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 19% (-10) | 1102 | Jerry Jeudy led the Broncos in receiving yards last week with Drew Lock at the helm, but regardless of who's under center his target volume could be low again in Week 17 against a Chargers defense that's been much more vulnerable on the ground than through the air this season. | ||||
BN | 4.53 | 20% (-1) | 223 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 10% (-4) | 1038 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 7.21 | 15% (+2) | 149 | Nyheim Hines has just five touches in the past two games as workhorse Jonathan Taylor continues to get the vast majority of opportunities in the Indianapolis backfield, but perhaps Hines will be able to make the most of his limited usage in Week 17 against a Raiders defense that has allowed 14 touchdowns to running backs on the ground and another six through the air. | ||||
BN | 17.27 | 10% (+3) | 21 | Mac Jones has been up and down over his last four games for the Patriots, but in Week 17, he'll get a Jaguars defense that ranks 31st in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
BN | 7.80 | 15% (-1) | 130 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||

K | 9.35 | 58% (+19) | 86 | Harrison Butker got replaced by Elliott Fry last week after landing in the league's COVID-19 protocols, but if he's able to get cleared for Kansas City's Week 17 clash with the Bengals, he should be productive against a team that's tied for 10th worst in the league in field-goal attempts allowed. | ||||
