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 | 17.23 | 99% (–) | 13 | CeeDee Lamb has scored in seven-straight games for Dallas and will face a Lions defense in Week 17 that's allowed 24 passing scores in 2023, which is 25th in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 12.08 | 61% (+26) | 58 | Nico Collins caught a touchdown from Davis Mills last week, but Houston's top receiver will likely need starting QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) to return to live up to his full potential in Week 17 against a Titans secondary that has allowed the fifth-most yards to wide receivers. | ||||
WR | 11.93 | 89% (+4) | 67 | Brandon Aiyuk has crossed the 100-yard receiving mark in two of the last three games for San Francisco and will face a subpar Washington pass defense in Week 17 allowing 261.6 passing yards per contest, which is second-to-last 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 | 11.94 | 62% (+2) | 64 | Aaron Jones unsurprisingly torched Carolina's run defense for 127 yards on 21 carries last week, his first 100-plus yard rushing effort since the penultimate game of last season against the Vikings, and in Week 17 of this season, the Packers will once again face a Minnesota defense that has allowed opposing RBs to gain just 3.7 yards per carry, which ranks seventh in the NFL. | ||||
TE | 8.80 | 78% (+2) | 106 | David Njoku has gotten into the end zone in three straight games, posting a 22-239-4 line on 31 targets, and he could extend his streak in Week 17 as the Browns face a Jets defense that's given up eight receiving TDs to tight ends this season, tied for 30th in the league. | ||||
W/R/T | 10.42 | 85% (+1) | 82 | 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. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 0% (–) | 795 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 9% (–) | 758 | |||||
BN | 0.00 | 4% (-1) | 653 | D'Onta Foreman missed last week's game for the Bears due to personal reasons, but if he plays in Week 17, he'll bring his 3.9 yards per carry into a matchup with a tough Falcons 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 | 13.41 | 89% (-1) | 34 | Rachaad White has scored a touchdown or topped 100 total yards in six straight games as the Buccaneers head into a Week 17 matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed only eight total touchdowns this season. | ||||
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 | 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. | ||||
BN | 7.40 | 25% (–) | 147 | 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 | 7.39 | 14% (-5) | 148 | Tyler Boyd is coming off his most productive game since Week 10, but the veteran slot receiver still has a limited ceiling in Week 17 as the Bengals face a Kansas City secondary that ranks in the top eight in catches and receiving yards allowed to wideouts. | ||||
BN | 12.96 | 93% (+1) | 40 | Bijan Robinson topped 100 total yards in Week 16 for the first time in his last three games as the Falcons head into a Week 17 matchup against a Bears defense that has allowed the most receiving yards to opposing running backs this season. | ||||
