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 | 9.30 | 67% (-5) | 96 | Calvin Ridley caught a touchdown apiece from Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) and C.J. Beathard last week, so the receiver should remain heavily involved in Jacksonville's passing game regardless of which QB starts, though the team could go with a more run-heavy approach in Week 17 against a Panthers defense that's allowing the 12th-most rushing yards and fifth-fewest passing yards per game. | ||||
WR | 11.94 | 88% (–) | 66 | DeVonta Smith has scored three times in the last five games for the Eagles and will face a soft Arizona pass defense in Week 17 that's allowed 27 throwing scores in 2023, which is tied for 28th in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 7.39 | 14% (-5) | 148 | Tyler Boyd is coming off his most productive game since Week 10, but the veteran slot receiver still has a limited ceiling in Week 17 as the Bengals face a Kansas City secondary that ranks in the top eight in catches and receiving yards allowed to wideouts. | ||||
RB | 7.13 | 17% (-4) | 161 | Antonio Gibson scored his first rushing touchdown of the season last game for Washington and could be in line for an expanded role if both Brian Robinson and Chris Rodriguez are sidelined due to injury in Week 17, though a matchup with a San Francisco defense that's allowing just 90.3 yards per tilt on the ground, which is third in the NFL, is not ideal. | ||||
RB | 12.75 | 55% (-5) | 43 | Isiah Pacheco returned from a shoulder injury last week only to pick up a concussion, putting him at risk of missing Kansas City's Week 17 clash with a Bengals defense that ranks in the bottom half of the league in rushing yards and touchdowns allowed to RBs. | ||||
TE | 2.54 | 13% (-3) | 305 | Taysom Hill has seen his role dip significantly in consecutive games as the Saints head into a Week 17 matchup against the Buccaneers. | ||||
W/R/T | 9.41 | 13% (+4) | 91 | Khalil Herbert racked up 121 scrimmage yards on 21 touches last time out as D'Onta Foreman missed the game due to personal reasons, but if Foreman returns for the Bears in Week 17, Herbert could return to a diminished role against a tough Atlanta run defense which allowed their first rushing TD of the season on Christmas Eve and has only given up 3.7 yards per carry to opposing RBs, which ranks sixth in the NFL. | ||||

BN | 0.00 | 1% (–) | 503 | Kadarius Toney missed last week's game due to a hip injury, but if he's able to return in Week 17, he'll have some big-play potential as Kansas City clashes with a Bengals secondary that ranks 31st in yards per target allowed to wideouts. | ||||

BN | 0.00 | 1% (–) | 432 | Darnell Mooney hasn't been able to top two receptions in any of the last six games for the Bears despite seeing 4.5 targets per contest during that stretch, and in Week 17 he'll face a Falcons defense that has allowed opposing WRs to gain just 6.7 yards per target, the third-lowest average in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 37% (-54) | 807 | |||||
BN | 9.24 | 64% (-8) | 99 | Tee Higgins has posted a 9-201-3 line on 16 targets over the last two games, and with Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) potentially unavailable again for the Bengals, Higgins could be productive again in Week 17 versus a Kansas City secondary that ranks in the top eight in catches and receiving yards allowed to wideouts. |
