Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 23.08 | 86% (-6) | 8 | Justin Herbert topped 300 yards last week for the eighth time this season despite his difficulty getting the ball into the end zone, a story that could repeat itself in Week 17 as the Chargers face a Broncos defense that ranks third in TD passes allowed. | ||||
WR | 8.93 | 33% (+1) | 130 | 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. | ||||
WR | 5.66 | 10% (-2) | 215 | 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. | ||||
WR | 8.94 | 19% (-4) | 129 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
RB | 12.24 | 34% (-2) | 72 | Michael Carter is coming off his first career 100-yard rushing day for the Jets, but in Week 17, he'll get a Buccaneers defense that ranks 11th in rush DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
RB | 15.74 | 85% (+57) | 35 | Austin Ekeler missed last week's game while on the COVID-19 list, but he'll be at the head of the Chargers' backfield in Week 17 against a Broncos defense he gashed for 99 scrimmage yards and a TD in their first meeting this season. | ||||
TE | 8.29 | 46% (-6) | 144 | Noah Fant has caught multiple passes in every game he's played this season, giving him some intriguing upside in Week 17 as the Broncos face a Chargers defense that ranks in the bottom two in the league in receiving yards and TDs allowed to tight ends. | ||||
W/R/T | 14.31 | 87% (+1) | 47 | Keenan Allen was held below 50 receiving yards last week for only the third time this season, but he should be able to rebound even in a tough Week 17 matchup as the Chargers face a Broncos defense that ranks sixth in passing yards per game allowed. | ||||

BN | 5.54 | 1% (–) | 223 | Jalen Reagor is coming off his season high in terms of yardage for the Eagles last game and will face a suspect Washington defense in Week 17 allowing 269.2 passing yards per tilt, which is 30th in the league. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 22% (-37) | 919 | Adam Thielen has been limited to 23 snaps over the Vikings last three games due to an ankle injury, making his availability and usage a question entering a Week 17 matchup against a Packers defense that's allowing just 6.6 yards per pass attempt, but one he's scored against three times in as many recent meetings, going for at least 82 yards twice. | ||||
BN | 6.32 | 21% (-26) | 197 | Jeff Wilson has scored in each of the 49ers' last two games, but he'll need Elijah Mitchell (knee) to miss another game to see enough volume to be a strong fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against a Texans defense that's allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing RBs over the last five weeks. | ||||
BN | 9.93 | 54% (-1) | 101 | DJ Moore has commanded double-digit targets in four consecutive games as the Panthers head into a Week 17 matchup against a New Orleans defense that has allowed the seventh-most receptions to opposing wide receivers this season. | ||||
BN | 12.91 | 58% (+33) | 62 | 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. | ||||
BN | 4.12 | 1% (-1) | 262 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 13.81 | 93% (–) | 50 | Nick Chubb has at least 80 rushing yards in all but three of his games this year for the Browns, and in Week 17, he gets a Steelers defense that ranks 30th in rush DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
