Matchup Ratings

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kenyan Drake has found the end zone in five of Arizona's last six games, and he'll look to stay on track in Week 17 against a Rams defense that he posted 58 yards and a touchdown against in Week 13.

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.

Cooper Kupp has averaged 46 yards over the Rams' last three games, but he'll look to rebound in Week 17 against an Arizona defense that he caught eight passes for 73 yards against when facing them in Week 13.

Ezekiel Elliott crossed the 100-yard rushing mark for just the second time this season last game for Dallas, and will face a Giants defense in Week 17 that's allowing 111.6 rushing yards per contest in 2020, which is 11th in the NFL.

Malcolm Brown could be pushed into a prominent role in the Rams offense with Cam Akers (ankle) questionable and Darrell Henderson on injured reserve, potentially placing him in line for a solid fantasy performance in Week 17 against an Arizona defense that's been in the bottom half of the league in terms of fantasy production allowed to running backs over the last five weeks.
