Matchup Ratings

Dalvin Cook potential seems corralled only by a potentially limited workload in the Vikings meaningless Week 17 finale, as otherwise he'll face a Lions defense that's allowed a league-high 25 rushing scores to date and one he piled up 206 yards and two scores on 22 carries earlier in the year.

Mark Andrews has at least five catches and 61 yards in each of his past five outings for the Ravens, and in Week 17, he gets a Bengals defense that has allowed 64 yards per game to tight ends this season, the second-highest total in the league.

Derrick Henry leads the league with 1,777 rushing yards and is primed to add a substantial chunk to that total in Week 17, when the Titans take on a Houston defense that has allowed the most rushing yards (2,082) and rushing touchdowns (19) to running backs this season.

J.D. McKissic has scored in two-straight games for Washington, has garnered at least 10 targets in three of the last four contests, and will face a reeling Eagles pass defense in Week 17 that's given up an average of 391.5 passing yards over the last two contests.

D'Andre Swift has 33 touches in the Lions last two games, and with quarterback Matthew Stafford's (ankle/ribs/thumb) availability in question, he looks poised to close his rookie season in style in a Week 17 matchup against a Vikings run defense that has been gashed of late, allowing 459 yards and 10 rushing TDs to team's lead backs over the last four weeks.

Sterling Shepard is coming off his best outing of the season for the Giants, scored his second touchdown of the year last game, and will face a Cowboys pass defense in Week 17 that's surrendered 32 touchdowns through the air in 2020, which is 29th in the NFL.

Deshaun Watson intends to play through an arm injury in Houston's Week 17 season finale, and he'll be looking for his 10th 300-yard passing performance in his last 13 games against a Titans defense that has allowed over 40 points twice in its last four games.

Justin Jefferson has double-digit targets in five of the Vikings last seven games, putting him in great position to close his record-breaking rookie season in style in a Week 17 spot against a Lions defense that's allowed a 100-yard receiver in five of the last six weeks, and 11 receivers to score in that stretch.

T.Y. Hilton has at least 60 receiving yards in each of his last five games after reaching that mark only once in his first nine, and the veteran pass-catcher should continue his recent success in Week 17, when the Colts host a Jaguars team that has allowed the seventh-most yards to wide receivers this season.

Jarvis Landry has seen eight targets in each of his last four outings for the Browns, and if he can come off the reserve/COVID-19 list for Week 17, he'll get a Steelers defense that has allowed 17 touchdowns to wide receivers this year, the seventh-highest number in the league.

Jack Doyle has topped 40 yards twice in his last three games, and he has a tenuous hold on the Colts' top tight end spot heading into the team's must-win Week 17 matchup with a Jaguars team that has allowed 13 touchdowns to tight ends -- tied for most in the league.
