Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 22.19 | 57% (+1) | 9 | Jalen Hurts tossed two touchdowns last game for the Eagles and has a juicy matchup in Week 17 versus a reeling Washington defense that's allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL to date this season. | ||||
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 | 10.59 | 46% (+27) | 86 | Brandin Cooks missed last week's game due to COVID-19, but if he's cleared to return in Week 17, Cooks would immediately retake the top spot on Houston's wide receiver depth chart against the 49ers and look to build on his consecutive 100-yard performances prior to his absence. | ||||
WR | 12.22 | 69% (-4) | 73 | 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. | ||||
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 | 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. | ||||
TE | 9.19 | 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. | ||||
W/R/T | 8.17 | 18% (+3) | 148 | Allen Robinson seems likely to play in Week 17 for the Bears for just the second time since Week 9, but having only one touchdown to date and having not topped 68 yards to date, he'll be a risky option against a Giants defense that has allowed only three opposing wideouts to top 79 yards against them since their Week 10 bye. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 0% (–) | 1107 | Cam Akers may be active for the Rams after tearing his Achilles before training camp, but it may be unreasonable to expect a significant amount of work in a Week 17 matchup against a Ravens defense that's given up the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs over the last five weeks. | ||||

BN | 15.21 | 94% (-2) | 39 | 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. | ||||
BN | 6.33 | 11% (-3) | 196 | Evan Engram found the end zone last game for the Giants and will face a Bears secondary in Week 17 that's given up 28 passing scores in 2021, which is tied for 28th in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 5.65 | 25% (-6) | 216 | Myles Gaskin saw just four touches his last time out for the Dolphins, but in Week 17, he gets a Titans defense that ranks 17th in rush DVOA this season. | ||||
