Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 24.86 | 94% (–) | 2 | Patrick Mahomes has a 10:1 TD:INT and 9.2 YPA over the last three games as he rounds back into MVP form, setting him up for a potential shootout in Week 17 as Kansas City faces a Bengals defense that ranks 29th in passing yards per game allowed. | ||||
WR | 13.58 | 86% (-4) | 54 | Diontae Johnson has seen double-digit targets in all but four of his games this year for the Steelers, and in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that ranks 19th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
WR | 12.63 | 86% (-2) | 68 | Ja'Marr Chase has topped 55 yards just twice over his last eight outings for the Bengals, but in Week 17, he gets a Chiefs defense that ranks 13th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
WR | 12.88 | 67% (+1) | 63 | Brandon Aiyuk has seen six or fewer targets in four of the 49ers' last five games, so he'll likely need a big play or a touchdown to post an upside game in a Week 17 matchup against a Texans defense that's allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. | ||||
RB | 12.87 | 60% (+22) | 64 | 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. | ||||
RB | 20.85 | 96% (+1) | 14 | Jonathan Taylor had his touchdown streak stopped at 11 games last week, but the star Colts running back still topped the 100-yard mark on the ground for the ninth time this season, and he's likely to produce another robust rushing effort in Week 17 against a Raiders defense that has allowed 20 scrimmage touchdowns to running backs -- tied for fourth-most in the league. | ||||
TE | 15.98 | 87% (+55) | 33 | Travis Kelce wasn't able to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols in time to play last week, but he should be able to make up for lost time in Week 17 as Kansas City faces a Bengals defense that ranks 30th in receiving yards allowed to tight ends this season. | ||||
W/R/T | 5.44 | 11% (–) | 227 | Jamaal Williams has at least 15 carries in each of his last three appearances for the Lions, seemingly trusted by the coaching staff despite Craig Reynolds' success while Williams was sidelined, but his role could fluctuate in a Week 17 matchup against a Seahawks defense that allows 3.7 yards per carry if D'Andre Swift returns from a shoulder injury. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 6% (–) | 809 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 1% (–) | 781 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 30% (-11) | 788 | James Conner missed Arizona's last game with a heel injury, and if he's back in action, he'll likely split work with Chase Edmonds in a Week 17 matchup against a Dallas defense that's allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs over the last five weeks. | ||||
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 | 0.00 | 17% (-17) | 759 | Kirk Cousins saw a seven-game streak of multiple touchdowns snapped last week, but in order to keep the Vikings playoff hopes alive in Week 17, he'll need to replicate the 341 yards and three scores he priced against the Packers earlier this year, no small task against a secondary allowing just 6.6 yards per pass attempt but 27 TDs in 15 outings. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 0% (-1) | 864 | |||||
BN | 6.04 | 6% (–) | 206 | Laviska Shenault missed last week's game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and he was also battling shoulder and foot injuries prior to entering COVID protocols, but even if he's able to make his return when the Jaguars travel to New England in Week 17, Shenault's unlikely to find much room against the stingy Patriots secondary. | ||||
BN | 2.06 | 1% (–) | 333 | |||||
BN | 12.18 | 53% (+8) | 76 | 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. | ||||
