Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 20.79 | 37% (+4) | 10 | Baker Mayfield has thrown for multiple touchdowns in four of his last five games, but he'll lead the Buccaneers into a tough Week 17 matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. | ||||
WR | 8.91 | 75% (-2) | 122 | 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 | 8.23 | 31% (+17) | 136 | Jayden Reed averaged 5.9 targets, 3.9 receptions and 42.3 receiving yards across the Packers' first 14 games before sitting out last week with a toe injury, but if he can return in Week 17, he'll face a Vikings defense that has allowed an average of 168.1 receiving yards per contest to opposing WR groups, which ranks 23rd in the NFL this season. | ||||
WR | 7.96 | 64% (-8) | 143 | 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. | ||||
RB | 11.87 | 63% (-3) | 59 | Kenneth Walker has rushed for just one touchdown in his last eight games played for Seattle and will face a Steelers defense in Week 17 that's allowed just eight rushing touchdowns all season, which is fourth in the NFL. | ||||
RB | 11.20 | 92% (+3) | 67 | Travis Etienne has been held to 56 or fewer rushing yards in each of Jacksonville's last seven games, but the lead back could find more running room in Week 17 against a Panthers team that has allowed a league-high 23 scrimmage touchdowns to RBs. | ||||
TE | 7.95 | 85% (+1) | 144 | Sam LaPorta posted season-lows with just 18 receiving yards on three targets last time out, a far cry from the 7.0 targets and 54.1 receiving yards he averaged across his previous 14 games for the Lions, but he may be able to bounce back in Week 17 against a Dallas defense that allows opposing TEs to gain 7.8 yards per target, the 11th-highest mark in the NFL this season. | ||||
W/R/T | 5.87 | 5% (+1) | 250 | Demario Douglas has seen at least seven targets in five of his last six outings for the Patriots, and 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. | ||||
W/R/T | 5.83 | 25% (–) | 254 | Jakobi Meyers has caught multiple passes in seven straight games but has reached 50 receiving yards only once in that stretch while scoring just two touchdowns, giving him a limited ceiling heading into the Raiders' Week 17 clash with a Colts secondary that ranks in the top 10 in catches and receiving yards allowed to wideouts. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 28% (-19) | 860 | Trevor Lawrence left last week's game with a right shoulder sprain and has also suffered a sprained ankle and concussion over the last four weeks, but he has yet to miss a start in his NFL career and could continue that streak in Week 17, when the Jaguars host a Panthers team that has allowed the third-fewest passing yards to QBs. | ||||
BN | 7.00 | 4% (–) | 186 | Justice Hill saw 13 touches last week in a timeshare with Gus Edwards, but the Ravens' backfield duo faces a stingy opponent in Week 17, as the Dolphins rank eighth in rushing yards allowed and yards per carry allowed to RBs. | ||||
BN | 5.99 | 3% (-1) | 241 | Chase Brown has averaged nine touches and just over 60 scrimmage yards over the last four games as the Bengals' No. 2 back behind Joe Mixon, and he'll have some big-play potential in Week 17 against a Kansas City defense that ranks 31st in yards per carry allowed to RBs. | ||||
BN | 7.63 | 33% (-17) | 155 | Jordan Addison was forced to exit the Vikings' last contest after sustaining an ankle injury, but if he can return in Week 17, he'll bring his 8.7 YPT into a matchup with a Packers defense that has allowed opposing WRs to gain 8.5 yards per target, the ninth-highest mark in the NFL this season. | ||||
BN | 15.25 | 19% (-4) | 34 | Jake Browning topped 300 passing yards last week for the third time in the last four games but also threw multiple interceptions for the first time since replacing the injured Joe Burrow, giving him additional risk heading into the Bengals' Week 17 clash with a Kansas City defense that ranks fourth in passing yards allowed this season. | ||||
IR | 0.00 | 13% (-1) | 882 | 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. | ||||
