Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 19.84 | 88% (-3) | 6 | Patrick Mahomes has an uncharacteristically poor 9:6 TD:INT in six games since Kansas City's bye while averaging just under 250 passing yards per game, so he can't be considered an automatic start in Week 17, even against a Bengals defense that ranks 28th in passing yards allowed this season. | ||||
WR | 11.93 | 89% (+4) | 67 | Brandon Aiyuk has crossed the 100-yard receiving mark in two of the last three games for San Francisco and will face a subpar Washington pass defense in Week 17 allowing 261.6 passing yards per contest, which is second-to-last in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 17.30 | 91% (+1) | 12 | Justin Jefferson reminded us why he was in the conversation for first overall pick in fantasy drafts, catching six of 10 targets for 141 yards and a score, his first 100-plus receiving yard game since he started the campaign with three-consecutive such games for the Vikings, and in Week 17 he'll take on a Green Bay defense that allows opposing WRs to gain 8.5 yards per target, the ninth-highest mark in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 11.97 | 87% (–) | 62 | Mike Evans has scored at least 13 touchdowns three times in the last four seasons, though he may have a hard time adding to that total as Tampa Bay heads into a Week 17 matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed only 10 touchdowns to opposing wide receivers -- tied for second-fewest in the league. | ||||
RB | 11.73 | 55% (-4) | 72 | Chuba Hubbard has seen at least 17 touches in five consecutive games as the Panthers head into a Week 17 matchup against a Jaguars defense that has allowed the fourth-most points to opposing running backs this season. | ||||
RB | 11.94 | 62% (+2) | 64 | Aaron Jones unsurprisingly torched Carolina's run defense for 127 yards on 21 carries last week, his first 100-plus yard rushing effort since the penultimate game of last season against the Vikings, and in Week 17 of this season, the Packers will once again face a Minnesota defense that has allowed opposing RBs to gain just 3.7 yards per carry, which ranks seventh in the NFL. | ||||
TE | 7.88 | 28% (+6) | 129 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
W/R/T | 11.88 | 92% (+3) | 68 | Travis Etienne has been held to 56 or fewer rushing yards in each of Jacksonville's last seven games, but the lead back could find more running room in Week 17 against a Panthers team that has allowed a league-high 23 scrimmage touchdowns to RBs. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 3% (–) | 635 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 1% (–) | 781 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 40% (-47) | 1100 | Raheem Mostert has scored in all but three games for the Dolphins this season, but in Week 17, he'll get a Ravens defense that has allowed 15.8 fantasy points per game to running backs in 2023, the sixth-best total in the league. | ||||
BN | 3.30 | 2% (–) | 278 | Michael Gallup has fewer than 10 yards receiving in three of the last four games for Dallas, making him a risky play in Week 17 even against a soft Detroit pass defense allowing 234.9 yards per clash through the air, which is 23rd in the league. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 15% (-11) | 593 | Russell Wilson will be benched for Denver's final two games with the team falling out of the playoff hunt, so Jarrett Stidham will make his first start of the season in Week 17 against the generous Chargers secondary. | ||||
BN | 6.52 | 20% (+8) | 183 | Chogoziem Okonkwo has surged down the stretch with at least 45 yards in four of his last five games, and Tennessee's top tight end has an excellent opportunity to stay hot in Week 17 against a Houston defense that has allowed the most catches (100) and third-most receiving yards (943) to his position. | ||||
BN | 6.86 | 23% (–) | 176 | Gabe Davis has put up either zero or more than 100 yards in each of Buffalo's last five games heading into a Week 17 clash with a Patriots defense that has given up 28.4 fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
BN | 3.66 | 13% (-2) | 266 | Dameon Pierce scored on a kickoff return last week, but he has just eight carries over the last three games and is a distant second behind Devin Singletary on Houston's running back depth chart heading into a Week 17 matchup with a Titans defense that ranks in the middle of the pack at stopping the run. | ||||
BN | 13.37 | 86% (-5) | 35 | Alvin Kamara was stymied by the Bears in Week 16 but still has at least five receptions in three of his last five games as the Saints head into a Week 17 matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed a league-average 67 receptions to opposing running backs this season. | ||||
