Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 21.18 | 89% (+3) | 5 | Lamar Jackson curiously hasn't scored a rushing touchdown in eight straight games, posting an 11:4 TD:INT over that stretch, and his ceiling seems limited again in Week 17 as the Ravens take on a Dolphins defense that ranks just outside the top 10 in passing yards and TDs allowed this season. | ||||
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 | 4.82 | 1% (–) | 240 | Darius Slayton has gained at least 60 yards receiving in three of the last five games for the Giants while scoring in two of those five contests, and will face a Rams defense in Week 17 in the bottom half of the league in both passing yards and passing touchdowns allowed in 2023. | ||||
WR | 8.53 | 33% (+1) | 112 | Diontae Johnson saw his three-game touchdown streak end last week with Mason Rudolph under center, but he could bounce back in Week 17 as the Steelers take on a Seahawks secondary that ranks 25th in receptions allowed to wideouts. | ||||
RB | 21.21 | 99% (–) | 4 | Christian McCaffrey has rushed for over 100 yards in four of the last five games for San Francisco and will face a Washington defense in Week 17 allowing 122.7 yards per clash on the ground, which is 23rd 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. | ||||
TE | 4.40 | 12% (+3) | 251 | Tyler Higbee has been held under 50 yards receiving in 10-straight games for the Rams and will face a Giants pass defense in Week 17 allowing 229.7 yards per clash through the air, which is 20th in the NFL. | ||||
W/R/T | 6.93 | 14% (–) | 171 | Jerry Jeudy didn't see his target volume increase last week even after Courtland Sutton exited the contest early due to a concussion, but he could have a breakout performance in Week 17 as the Broncos take on a Chargers secondary that ranks in the bottom four in the league in receiving yards and touchdowns allowed to WRs. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 9% (–) | 758 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 5% (–) | 594 | Christian Watson has missed three straight contests with a hamstring injury, and if he can return in Week 17 for the Packers, he'll bring his 8.0 YPT and five receiving TDs into a matchup with a Vikings defense that has allowed opposing WR groups to average 14.7 receptions per tilt, the third-highest mark in the NFL this season. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 1% (–) | 647 | JuJu Smith-Schuster has topped 51 yards just once this season for the Patriots, and if he can return from an ankle injury in Week 17, he gets a Bills defense that has allowed 24.6 fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, the ninth-lowest total in the league. | ||||
BN | 8.25 | 54% (-4) | 118 | Tyler Lockett has 20 targets combined in his last two games for Seattle and will face a mediocre Pittsburgh pass defense in Week 17 allowing 230.7 passing yards per tilt, which is 21st in the NFL. | ||||
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. | ||||
BN | 0.96 | 0% (–) | 373 | |||||
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 | 3.25 | 3% (–) | 281 | Samaje Perine has seen at least five targets in three of the last six games, and he may not need many touches to make an impact in Week 17 as the Broncos take on a Chargers defense that ranks 30th in catches and receiving yards allowed to running backs. | ||||
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. | ||||
