No new player Notes
D. Swift Det - RB
| Min | | | 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. | |
Player Note
J. Smith-Schuster Pit - WR
| @Cle | | | Juju Smith-Schuster has scored in three of his past five games for the Steelers, and in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that has allowed 19 touchdowns to wide receivers this season, the fifth-highest total in the league. | |
No new player Notes
B. Cooks Hou - WR
| Ten | | | Brandin Cooks topped 100 receiving yards for the second time in a Texans uniform last week, and he'll work as the team's top receiving option in Week 17 against a generous Titans secondary that allowed Cooks to catch a season-high nine passes when these teams met back in Week 6. | |
Player Note
J. Taylor Ind - RB
| Jax | | | Jonathan Taylor has scored six touchdowns in his last four games and should keep rolling in Week 17, as the Colts will be heavily favored at home against a Jaguars team that has allowed the third-most rushing yards (1,761) and fifth-most rushing touchdowns (15) to running backs this season. | |
No new player Notes
D. Johnson Hou - RB
| Ten | | | David Johnson is finishing his first season in Houston on a high note, as he's topped 130 scrimmage yards in consecutive games heading into a Week 17 visit from a Titans defense that's allowing 394.3 yards per game -- fourth-most in the league. | |
No new player Notes
D. Cook Min - RB
| @Det | | | 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. | |
Player Note
D. Henry Ten - RB
| @Hou | | | 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. | |
Player Note
A. Brown Ten - WR
| @Hou | | | A.J. Brown was held out of the end zone for only the third time in his last 12 games last week, but Tennessee's No. 1 receiver should rebound in Week 17 against a Texans secondary that he burned for two touchdowns back in Week 6. | |
Player Note
J. McKissic Was - RB
| @Phi | | | 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. | |
Player Note
C. Claypool Pit - WR
| @Cle | | | Chase Claypool has not scored or gained 55 yards in any of his past five outings for the Steelers, but in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that has allowed 19 touchdowns to wide receivers this season, the fifth-highest total in the league. | |
Player Note
D. Johnson Pit - WR
| @Cle | | | Diontae Johnson has at least 12 targets and a score in three of his past four outings for the Steelers, and in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that has allowed 19 touchdowns to wide receivers this season, the fifth-highest total in the league. | |
Player Note
L. Murray NO - RB
| @Car | | | Latavius Murray and the Saints have a solid Week 17 matchup with a Panthers defense that has allowed the seventh-most yards per rush attempt (4.8) since Week 8. | |
@Car | | | Contributing in the absence of Michael Thomas, Marquez Callaway and the Saints have a welcoming Week 17 matchup against a Panthers defense that has allowed the seventh-most yards per pass attempt (7.4) and the eighth-most passing touchdowns (16) since Week 8. | ||
@Car | | | Contributing in the absence of Michael Thomas, Juwan Johnson and the Saints have a nice Week 17 matchup against a Panthers defense that has allowed the seventh-most yards per pass attempt (7.4) and the eighth-most passing touchdowns (16) since Week 8. | ||
Player Note
M. Gordon III Den - RB
| LV | | | Melvin Gordon has piled up 393 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns over his last four games, and with Phillip Lindsay on IR, he should head the Broncos' backfield once again in Week 17 against a Raiders defense that's given up 23 rushing TDs this season, 31st in the league. | |
Player Note
D. Montgomery Chi - RB
| GB | | | David Montgomery has scored six times in the last five weeks while topping 100 total yards in every outing for the Bears, setting him up for success in a Week 17 matchup against a Packers defense that's allowing 4.6 ypc and one he got for 143 yards and two scores on only 15 touches earlier in the year. | |
Player Note
J. Landry Cle - WR
| Pit | | | 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. | |
Player Note
T. Hilton Ind - WR
| Jax | | | 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. | |
No new player Notes
C. Ridley Atl - WR
| @TB | | | With 100 yards or a score in five straight games, Atlanta's Calvin Ridley has a great Week 17 matchup against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed the third-most passing touchdowns since Week 8 (18) and could be without top cornerback Carlton Davis. | |
New Player Note
D. Adams GB - WR
| @Chi | | | Davante Adams has scored in nine of the Packers last 10 games, totaling 15 total TDs in that span entering a Week 17 matchup against a Bears defense that's allowed multiple passing touchdowns in seven of eight, but limited him to a 6-61-1 line previously. | |
New Player Note
J. Dobbins Bal - RB
| @Cin | | | J.K. Dobbins has gained at least 53 yards and scored in each of his past five outings for the Ravens, and in Week 17, he gets a Bengals defense that is allowing 100.0 rushing yards per game to running backs, the 11th-highest total in the league. | |
No new player Notes
J. Jones Atl - WR
| @TB | | | Having missed three straight games since aggravating his hamstring injury, Atlanta's Julio Jones, if healthy, would have a solid Week 17 matchup against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed the third-most passing touchdowns (18) since Week 8and could be without top cornerback Carlton Davis. | |
No new player Notes
K. Coutee Hou - WR
| Ten | | | Keke Coutee has over 50 yards or a touchdown in each of his last four games, and Houston's slot receiver should stay involved in Week 17 against a Titans secondary that has allowed the fourth-most yards (2,808) and fourth-most touchdowns (20) to wide receivers. | |
Player Note
A. Kamara NO - RB
| @Car | | | Coming off a six-touchdown performance in Week 16, Alvin Kamara and the Saints have a friendly Week 17 matchup with a Panthers defense that has allowed the seventh-most yards per rush attempt (4.8) since Week 8. | |
New Player Note
S. Diggs Buf - WR
| Mia | | | Stefon Diggs scored three touchdowns and extended his lead on receptions and yards for all receivers, which would be the first time a Bills receiver led the league in those categories ever, heading into a matchup with the Dolphins in Week 17, who haven't allowed multiple touchdowns to opposing receivers since the Bills scored three in Week 2. | |
No new player Notes
R. Gage Atl - WR
| @TB | | | Atlanta's Russell Gage has a solid Week 17 matchup against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed the third-most passing touchdowns since Week 8 (18) and could be without top cornerback Carlton Davis. | |
@Det | | | 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. | ||
New Player Note
G. Edwards Bal - RB
| @Cin | | | Gus Edwards has at least 78 total yards or a touchdown in each of his past four outings for the Ravens, and in Week 17, he gets a Bengals defense that is allowing 100.0 rushing yards per game to running backs, the 11th-highest total in the league. | |
No new player Notes
A. Thielen Min - WR
| @Det | | | Adam Thielen is coming off of his best game in four weeks and now has scored in three of the Vikings last four outings entering a Week 17 matchup against a Lions secondary that's been gashed of late, allowing five 100-yard receivers over the last six weeks and eight touchdown catches to opposing receivers over the last three weeks. | |
Player Note
R. Higgins Cle - WR
| Pit | | | Rashard Higgins has at least 65 yards in four of his past five 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. | |
Player Note
D. Peoples-Jones Cle - WR
| Pit | | | Donovan Peoples-Jones has at least 55 yards in each of his last three 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. | |
Player Note
E. Sanders NO - WR
| @Car | | | Again serving as the No. 1 receiver in the absence of Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and the Saints have a nice Week 17 matchup against a Panthers defense that has allowed the seventh-most yards per pass attempt (7.4) and the eighth-most passing touchdowns (16) since Week 8. | |
Dal | | | Wayne Gallman has been held under 30 rushing yards in each of the last two games as the Giants offense has sputtered, but will look to bounce back in Week 17 versus a Cowboys defense that's allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL this season. | ||
@Den | | | Josh Jacobs has struggled recently, but he'll look to end the year on a high note in Week 17 as the Raiders face a Broncos defense he gashed for 112 rushing yards and two TDs in their first meeting this season. | ||
No new player Notes
S. Shepard NYG - WR
| Dal | | | 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. | |
No new player Notes
C. Hansen Hou - WR
| Ten | | | Chad Hansen was held to one catch last week after topping 50 yards in each of his first three games with Houston, but he gets a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 17 against a Titans defense that has allowed the fourth-most yards and touchdowns to wide receivers. | |
Player Note
C. Davis Ten - WR
| @Hou | | | Corey Davis is coming off his second goose egg of the season, but Tennessee's No. 2 receiver has topped 100 yards in five of his 11 other games heading into a Week 17 road matchup with a Texans defense that's tied for the second-most touchdowns allowed to wide receivers at 21. | |
New Player Note
G. Davis Buf - WR
| Mia | | | Gabriel Davis saw five targets for the second straight week and could be in line for a larger role in the Bills passing game if Cole Beasley's injury holds him out for Week 17 against the Dolphins middle-of-the-pack secondary. | |
Player Note
D. Metcalf Sea - WR
| @SF | | | DK Metcalf has been held to 61 or fewer yards in five of the Seahawks' last seven games, but he'll have a Week 17 matchup against the 49ers defense that he destroyed for 161 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8. | |
No new player Notes
A. Ekeler LAC - RB
| @KC | | | Austin Ekeler scored his first touchdown in five games last week, and the Chargers' No. 1 back could be poised for a big game in Week 17 against a Kansas City defense that ranks 22nd in yards per carry allowed and which might be resting key players. | |
New Player Note
R. Woods LAR - WR
| Ari | | | Robert Woods has been targeted at least eight times in each of the Rams' last six games, and he should remain involved in Week 17 against an Arizona defense that he caught 10 passes for 85 yards against when facing them in Week 13. | |
Player Note
A. Robinson II Chi - WR
| GB | | | Allen Robinson has topped 100 yards in two of his last three, and one for at least 70 yards in five straight and eight of his last nine for the Bears entering a must-win Week 17 matchup against a Packers defense he went for 8-74-2 against earlier in the year, but one that's allowing just 7.2 ypa and three touchdown receptions in the last four weeks. | |
NYJ | | | Jakobi Meyers caught a team-high four passes and while he continues to pace the Patriots' passing game, he receives sporadic opportunity for production heading into Week 17 against the Jets feeble, but improving secondary that's still in the bottom five. | ||
No new player Notes
C. Samuel Car - WR
| NO | | | Carolina's Curtis Samuel has a tricky Week 17 matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.8) but the 10th-most passing touchdowns (28) in 2020. | |
Player Note
M. Evans TB - WR
| Atl | | | Mike Evans and the Buccaneers have a tricky Week 17 matchup with a Falcons defense that ranks ninth in passing touchdowns allowed (eight) and 16th in yards allowed per pass attempt (7.0) since Week 8. | |
Player Note
Z. Pascal Ind - WR
| Jax | | | Zach Pascal has three touchdowns in his last two games, but he had only three catches over the previous three games, making Pascal a high-risk, high-reward Week 17 option considering the Colts will likely rely primarily on the ground game against Jacksonville. | |
No new player Notes
L. Perine NYJ - RB
COVID-19
| @NE | | | La'Mical Perine stepped back onto the field for the Jets and chipped in 10 touches and could be in for an even more expanded role with Frank Gore unable to play in Week 17 against the Patriots, who are in the bottom half against the run. | |
No new player Notes
D. Moore Car - WR
| NO | | | DJ Moore and the Panthers have an interesting Week 17 matchup against a Saints defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.8) but the 10th-most passing touchdowns (28) in 2020. | |
No new player Notes
D. Slayton NYG - WR
| Dal | | | Darius Slayton has 25 targets over his last three contests for the Giants and will face a Dallas defense in Week 17 allowing 228.7 passing yards per outing in 2020, which is 11th in the league. | |
No new player Notes
D. Chark Jr. Jax - WR
| @Ind | | | DJ Chark scored his fifth touchdown of the season last week, and he should work as the focal point of Jacksonville's underwhelming passing attack in Week 17 against a Colts defense that allowed Chark to find the end zone in the season opener. | |
