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 | 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 | 14.29 | 98% (–) | 27 | Amon-Ra St. Brown has topped 100 receiving yards in back-to-back contests for the Lions, marking the eighth time he's done so in 14 games this season, but in Week 17 he faces a Dallas defense that has allowed just two wideouts (Curtis Samuel in Week 12 and DK Metcalf in Week 13) to accumulate 100-plus receiving yards in a game and the 7.3 yards per target they allow to opposing WRs ranks seventh in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 3.65 | 2% (–) | 267 | Khalil Shakir has topped 60 yards just twice all season for the Bills, and in Week 17, he gets 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. | ||||
RB | 9.37 | 44% (+1) | 92 | Jerome Ford scored his first rushing touchdown since mid-November last week, and his lackluster recent yardage totals make him a risky option in Week 17 as the Browns take on a Jets defense that ranks in the bottom 10 in rushing yards and receiving yards allowed to RBs. | ||||
RB | 12.78 | 61% (+12) | 41 | De'Von Achane hasn't topped 71 total yards in any of his last three outings for the Dolphins, and 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. | ||||
TE | 4.65 | 7% (+3) | 246 | Juwan Johnson has touchdown receptions in consecutive games as the Saints head into a Week 17 matchup against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. | ||||
W/R/T | 9.82 | 41% (+3) | 86 | Jaylen Warren has seen his role and production dwindle since the Steelers replaced Matt Canada as offensive coordinator, but he still has some big-play potential in Week 17 against a Seahawks defense that's coughed up 15 rushing TDs to running backs, tied for 30th in the league. | ||||

BN | 0.24 | 1% (–) | 410 | |||||
BN | 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. | ||||
BN | 13.17 | 91% (-1) | 37 | Jahmyr Gibbs has gained 6.0 yards per carry and 5.0 yards per target across the last nine games for the Lions, scoring an eye-popping 10 TDs during that span, and in Week 17 he faces a Cowboys defense that ranks 13th in YPC (4.1) and 17th in YPT (5.4) allowed to opposing RBs this season. | ||||
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 | 4.41 | 16% (–) | 250 | Alexander Mattison returned from an ankle injury to post an uninspiring rushing line of two carries for minus-1 yard after averaging 12.9 carries and 50.8 rushing yards across his previous 13 games for the Vikings this season, and in Week 17, he'll likely split carries with Ty Chandler against a Packers defense that has allowed opposing RB groups to combine for 101.4 rushing yards per contest, which ranks 27th in the NFL this season. | ||||
BN | 7.34 | 5% (+1) | 155 | Quentin Johnston has caught multiple passes in four straight games, posting a 12-195-1 line on 19 targets over that stretch, and the Chargers' rookie will have some big-play potential in Week 17 against a Broncos secondary that ranks 27th in yards per target allowed to wideouts. | ||||
BN | 12.48 | 81% (-2) | 53 | James Cook has put up at least 100 total yards in five of his last six outings for the Bills, and in Week 17, he'll take on a Patriots defense that has given up 18.4 fantasy points per game to running backs this season, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
BN | 11.96 | 86% (-2) | 63 | Joe Mixon failed to top 50 scrimmage yards for the first time since Week 10 last week, but he could rebound in Week 17 as the Bengals take on a Kansas City defense that ranks 31st in yards per carry allowed to RBs. | ||||
