Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 9011039 | 98% (–) | 2 | Patrick Mahomes was held under 300 passing yards last week for only the second time since Week 5, and he'll look to rebound in Week 17 as Kansas City faces a Broncos defense that ranks among the stingiest in the league, but which he lit up for 352 yards and three TDs in their first meeting this season. | ||||
QB | 0 | 3% (–) | 661 | |||||
QB | 8212898 | 39% (+4) | 10 | Aaron Rodgers hasn't topped 240 yards in six games and hasn't thrown multiple touchdown passes in three straight for the Packers entering a Week 17 matchup against a vulnerable Vikings secondary that's allowing 7.5 ypa and a league-high 281.5 ypg, with six of the last nine quarterbacks they've faced going over 300 yards. | ||||
WR | 919849 | 56% (-5) | 91 | Michael Pittman was held to 39 yards with Nick Foles under center last week, and Foles is expected to start at quarterback for the Colts again in Week 17 against a Giants defense that ranks in the middle of the pack against wide receivers. | ||||
WR | 680844 | 18% (+4) | 120 | Courtland Sutton caught five passes last week in his return from a hamstring injury, and he could see plenty of volume in Week 17 as the Broncos try to keep pace with Patrick Mahomes while facing a Kansas City secondary that's tied for 30th in receiving TDs allowed to wideouts. | ||||
WR | 988552 | 68% (-5) | 71 | JuJu Smith-Schuster has failed to reach 40 receiving yards in four of the last six games, but he still possesses significant upside in the Kansas City offense in Week 17 versus a Broncos defense he scored a TD against in their first meeting. | ||||
WR | 884153 | 67% (+6) | 67 | Amari Cooper has topped 60 yards just once in four games for the Browns since Deshaun Watson took over under center, and in Week 17, he gets a Commanders defense that has given up 154.4 passing yards per game to wide receivers so far in 2022, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
RB | 0 | 48% (-51) | 546 | Derrick Henry has lost three fumbles across his last three games, but the recent ball security issues won't deter the Titans from giving the workhorse running back all the touches he can handle in Week 17 against the middling Dallas run defense, as rookie quarterback Malik Willis has been unable to move the ball effectively through the air. | ||||
RB | 2060054 | 58% (+10) | 76 | David Montgomery continues to see workhorse carries for the Bears, and with those ample touches, he should find ways to beat a Lions defense in Week 17 that's allowing a whopping 5.1 ypc, the third-highest total in the league, and 22 rushing scores, the second most to date. | ||||
RB | 2790868 | 91% (-2) | 38 | Josh Jacobs saw his streak of games with at least 100 scrimmage yards end at six last week, and he may have trouble starting a new one in Week 17 as the Raiders take on a 49ers defense that leads the league in rushing yards allowed and yards per carry allowed. | ||||
RB | 0 | 3% (–) | 1124 | |||||
W/R | 1780649 | 46% (-3) | 99 | Devin Singletary is coming off of his best outing of the season for the Bills, but in Week 17, he'll get a Cincinnati defense that has allowed 80.1 rushing yards per game to running backs in 2022, the sixth-lowest total in the league. | ||||
W/R | 2126860 | 72% (-5) | 55 | Rhamondre Stevenson has been boom-or-bust of late for the Patriots, and in Week 17, he'll get a Miami defense that has given up 69.9 rushing yards per game to running backs in 2022, the third-lowest total in the league. | ||||
W/R | 0 | 3% (–) | 1098 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
W/R | 787854 | 73% (+2) | 72 | Mike Williams has a 14-259-1 line on 18 targets in three games since returning to the lineup, and he could post big numbers again in Week 17 as the Chargers face a Rams secondary that ranks 27th in catches allowed to wideouts. | ||||

W/R/T | 796851 | 54% (+3) | 88 | Gabe Davis has seen at least five targets in all but two of his games this season for the Bills, and in Week 17, he'll get a Cincinnati defense that has allowed 151.5 passing yards per game to wide receivers in 2022, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
W/R/T | 0 | 2% (–) | 556 | |||||
Q/W/R/T | 8124600 | 68% (+4) | 8 | Dak Prescott has multiple touchdown passes in seven of the last eight games for the Cowboys and will face a suspect Titans pass defense in Week 17 that's allowed 26 throwing scores in 2022, which is tied for 29th in the NFL. | ||||
Q/W/R/T | 6829371 | 8% (+1) | 29 | Mac Jones has thrown just nine touchdowns in 12 games this season for the Patriots, but in Week 17, he gets a Miami defense that has given up 24.7 points per game so far this season, the sixth-highest total in the league. | ||||
Q/W/R/T | 8137215 | 50% (+9) | 5 | Trevor Lawrence will be looking to avenge his earlier loss to the Texans in Week 17, and the second-year Jacksonville quarterback has put together a 16:3 TD:INT in 10 subsequent games to propel the Jaguars to the top of the AFC South standings. | ||||
