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 | 11.32 | 42% (-1) | 77 | Chase Claypool has scored just once this season for the Steelers, but in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that ranks 19th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
WR | 13.64 | 87% (+3) | 51 | DK Metcalf scored a touchdown for the Seahawks last week, but he's failed to surpass 60 yards in a game since Week 7, but his target volume will give him a chance to post a strong outing in a Week 17 matchup against a Lions defense that's that's given up the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. | ||||
WR | 14.80 | 65% (+21) | 43 | A.J. Brown delivered 145 yards and a touchdown last week in his return from injured reserve, and while he's locked in as the top option for Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, Brown will have to contend with Dolphins shutdown cornerback Xavien Howard in Week 17. | ||||
RB | 14.76 | 87% (–) | 44 | Josh Jacobs topped 100 rushing yards last week for the first time all season, giving him some momentum heading into the Raiders' Week 17 tilt with a Colts defense that's given up only nine rushing TDs all season, tied for fourth in the league. | ||||
RB | 14.85 | 92% (+3) | 42 | David Montgomery continues to see heavy usage, both as a rusher and receiver, giving him a nice floor and ceiling for the Bears in a Week 17 matchup against a Giants defense that allows a getable 4.4 yards per carry, though no 100-yard rushers since Week 5. | ||||
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 | 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. | ||||

BN | 13.54 | 1% (–) | 55 | Sam Darnold took the field for first time since Week 9 in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, and he could be the primary quarterback for the Panthers heading into a Week 17 matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed opposing quarterbacks to throw only 19 touchdowns this season. | ||||
BN | 8.97 | 15% (+2) | 125 | Nyheim Hines has just five touches in the past two games as workhorse Jonathan Taylor continues to get the vast majority of opportunities in the Indianapolis backfield, but perhaps Hines will be able to make the most of his limited usage in Week 17 against a Raiders defense that has allowed 14 touchdowns to running backs on the ground and another six through the air. |
