Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 21.91 | 16% (+15) | 11 | Trey Lance rushed for 89 yards against the Cardinals in his only start for the 49ers, and if Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is unable to play, Lance could be an excellent fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against a Texans defense that's allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs over the last five weeks. | ||||
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. | ||||
WR | 15.68 | 97% (-2) | 36 | Justin Jefferson has topped 100 yards in four of his last seven games, scoring five times for the Vikings, and should again be peppered with targets in Week 17 with Adam Thielen continuing to nurse an ankle injury, giving him a decent shot to replicate the 8-169-2 line he posted against the Packers earlier in the year. | ||||
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 | 12.19 | 61% (+28) | 74 | Rashaad Penny has posted at least 135 rushing yards and a touchdown in two of Seattle's last three games, and he'll look to stay hot in a Week 17 matchup against a Lions defense that's given up the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing RBs over the last five weeks. | ||||
RB | 10.00 | 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. | ||||
TE | 0.00 | 5% (–) | 843 | |||||
W/R/T | 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. | ||||

BN | 0.00 | 28% (+1) | 866 | Lamar Jackson has thrown for at least 235 passing yards in all but two of his healthy games this year for the Ravens, but in Week 17, he gets a Rams defense that ranks sixth in DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 21% (-19) | 977 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 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. | ||||
BN | 18.84 | 96% (+1) | 21 | Alvin Kamara has compiled only 90 total yards across his last two games as the Saints head into a Week 17 matchup against a Panthers defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. | ||||
