Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 24.95 | 96% (–) | 1 | Jalen Hurts is coming off his fourth 300-yard passing game of the season for the Eagles, has rushed for 15 touchdowns in 2023 and will face a suspect Cardinals defense in Week 17 allowing the second-most points in the NFL this year. | ||||
WR | 12.76 | 60% (+31) | 42 | Michael Pittman missed the Colts' previous game due to a concussion, and with his symptoms recently resurfacing, the productive receiver is far from guaranteed to gain clearance to return in Week 17 against a Raiders defense that's tied for the eighth-most touchdowns allowed to WRs (14). | ||||
WR | 9.58 | 51% (+3) | 88 | Chris Godwin has earned at least 11 targets in three consecutive games as the Buccaneers head into a Week 17 matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed the ninth-fewest receptions to opposing wide receivers. | ||||
WR | 6.05 | 6% (+1) | 196 | Jameson Williams has posted career-high reception totals in back-to-back weeks, catching five of his six targets last time out for the Lions, but in Week 17 he faces a Dallas defense that allows opposing WRs to catch just 57.6 percent of targets, the third-lowest mark in the NFL. | ||||
RB | 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. | ||||
RB | 13.10 | 68% (+10) | 38 | Jonathan Taylor had 18 carries and scored his sixth scrimmage touchdown of the season last week in his return from thumb surgery, and Taylor should continue to handle the majority of backfield touches for the Colts in Week 17 against a Raiders defense that has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards to running backs. | ||||
TE | 8.31 | 79% (-1) | 116 | Evan Engram has at least nine catches and 82 yards in three of Jacksonville's last four games, but replicating that volume won't be easy in Week 17 against a Panthers defense that's tied for the third-fewest catches allowed to tight ends (56). | ||||
W/R/T | 4.73 | 3% (+2) | 244 | Elijah Mitchell has missed three-straight games for the 49ers due to a knee injury, making the backup running back a risky play in Week 17 even against a Washington defense in Week 17 allowing 122.7 yards per clash on the ground, which is 23rd in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 7% (-1) | 810 | Marquise Brown missed last game for Arizona due to a heel injury, leaving his status in doubt for a Week 17 clash with an Eagles pass defense ranked near the bottom of the NFL in both passing yards and passing touchdowns allowed. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 13% (-1) | 520 | Rhamondre Stevenson had seen at least 23 touches in back-to-back contests for the Patriots prior to injuring his ankle in Week 13, but if he can go in Week 17, he'll take on a Bills defense that has allowed 18.4 fantasy points per game to running backs this season, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 1% (–) | 597 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 15% (-1) | 745 | Keenan Allen has missed two straight games with a heel injury, but if he's able to return to the Chargers' lineup in Week 17, he'll be facing a Broncos secondary that ranks 27th in yards per target allowed to wideouts. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 31% (-10) | 809 | Josh Jacobs has missed the last two games due to a quad injury, but if he's able to return to the Raiders' backfield in Week 17, he'll face a Colts defense that ranks in the bottom four in rushing yards and touchdowns allowed to RBs. | ||||
BN | 13.00 | 56% (+2) | 39 | Ezekiel Elliott has seen at least 16 touches in all three games since Rhamondre Stevenson hurt his ankle, and Elliott could retain the lead-back role for the Patriots in Week 17 against a Bills defense that has allowed 18.4 fantasy points per game to running backs this season, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
BN | 8.87 | 13% (+8) | 104 | Brian Robinson has missed two-straight games for the Commanders but even if he returns from a hamstring injury in Week 17, would face a stout San Francisco run defense allowing just 90.3 yards per clash on the ground, which is third in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 7.81 | 33% (+7) | 133 | Dalton Schultz has topped 50 yards in each of Houston's last two games despite the absence of starting QB C.J. Stroud (concussion), but the tight end's solid floor is accompanied by a modest Week 17 ceiling against a Titans defense that has allowed a league-low one touchdown to the position in 2023. | ||||
BN | 17.78 | 59% (+6) | 9 | Matthew Stafford has tossed multiple touchdowns in five-straight games for the Rams but will face a surprising Giants defense in Week 17 that's allowed just 19 passing touchdowns in 2023, which is tied for 11th in the NFL. | ||||
