Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 14.99 | 21% (+2) | 20 | Geno Smith tossed two touchdowns last game for Seattle in a triumphant return from injury and will face a Steelers defense in Week 17 that's allowed 21 throwing scores in 2023, which is tied for 22nd in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 11.41 | 75% (-2) | 76 | Rashee Rice set a Kansas City rookie record for catches in a season last week, and he has plenty of big-play potential in Week 17 against a Bengals defense that ranks 31st in yards per target allowed to wideouts. | ||||
WR | 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. | ||||
WR | 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. | ||||
RB | 14.00 | 89% (+2) | 30 | Saquon Barkley has scored three times in his last three games for the Giants but will face a Rams defense in Week 17 that's allowed just 11 rushing touchdowns in 2023, which is tied for 10th in the league. | ||||
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. | ||||
TE | 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. | ||||
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 | 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 | 16% (–) | 1091 | |||||
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 | 6.58 | 3% (–) | 181 | Jonathan Mingo has under 35 receiving yards in three straight games as the Panthers had into a Week 17 matchup against a Jaguars defense that has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards to opposing right ends this season. | ||||
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. | ||||
