Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 23 | 87% (–) | 5 | Dak Prescott torched the opposition for Dallas last game with 330 yards and four touchdowns and will face a reeling Cardinals pass defense in Week 17 that's allowed eight passing scores in their last three contests while failing to pick off a single pass over that span. | ||||
WR | 10 | 83% (+4) | 60 | Tee Higgins has four 100-yard games in his last five outings for the Bengals, and in Week 17, he gets a Chiefs defense that ranks 13th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
RB | 14 | 97% (-1) | 25 | Najee Harris has 100 total yards or a touchdown in all but three games this year for the Steelers, and in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that ranks 20th in rush DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
TE | 8 | 69% (+1) | 82 | Dalton Schultz has scored in back-to-back games for the Cowboys and will face a reeling Cardinals defense in Week 17 that's allowed eight passing scores in their last three outings. | ||||
W/R | 11 | 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 | 8 | 45% (–) | 100 | AJ Dillon has seen only 20 total touches in the last two weeks for the Packers as Aaron Jones has returned to full health in what's become a pass-dominated offense, though he won't need heavy volume to exploit a Vikings defense in Week 17 that's allowing 4.7 yards per carry, and one that he posted 97 total yards against earlier in the year. | ||||
BN | 6 | 46% (+3) | 116 | Tyler Higbee has posted at least 41 yards in each of the last two games he's played for the Rams, but his numerous floor games this season make him a risky fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against a Ravens defense that's given up 53 yards per game to opposing TEs over the last five weeks. | ||||
