Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 23.88 | 69% (-1) | 6 | Matthew Stafford is averaging just 220 yards and 1.5 touchdown passes over the Rams last two games, but he should be able to get back on track in a Week 17 matchup against a Ravens defense that's given up two touchdown passes per game and the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing QBs over the last five weeks. | ||||
WR | 8.93 | 33% (+1) | 130 | Tyler Boyd has gained at least 85 yards in three of his last four games for the Bengals, and in Week 17, he gets a Chiefs defense that ranks 13th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
WR | 12.63 | 86% (-2) | 68 | Ja'Marr Chase has topped 55 yards just twice over his last eight outings for the Bengals, but in Week 17, he gets a Chiefs defense that ranks 13th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
WR | 12.88 | 67% (+1) | 63 | Brandon Aiyuk has seen six or fewer targets in four of the 49ers' last five games, so he'll likely need a big play or a touchdown to post an upside game in a Week 17 matchup against a Texans defense that's allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. | ||||
RB | 14.76 | 87% (–) | 44 | Josh Jacobs topped 100 rushing yards last week for the first time all season, giving him some momentum heading into the Raiders' Week 17 tilt with a Colts defense that's given up only nine rushing TDs all season, tied for fourth in the league. | ||||
RB | 15.74 | 85% (+57) | 35 | Austin Ekeler missed last week's game while on the COVID-19 list, but he'll be at the head of the Chargers' backfield in Week 17 against a Broncos defense he gashed for 99 scrimmage yards and a TD in their first meeting this season. | ||||
TE | 12.53 | 84% (-2) | 70 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
W/R/T | 2.20 | 2% (+1) | 327 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 16% (-2) | 773 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 17% (-17) | 759 | Kirk Cousins saw a seven-game streak of multiple touchdowns snapped last week, but in order to keep the Vikings playoff hopes alive in Week 17, he'll need to replicate the 341 yards and three scores he priced against the Packers earlier this year, no small task against a secondary allowing just 6.6 yards per pass attempt but 27 TDs in 15 outings. | ||||
BN | 15.68 | 97% (-2) | 36 | Justin Jefferson has topped 100 yards in four of his last seven games, scoring five times for the Vikings, and should again be peppered with targets in Week 17 with Adam Thielen continuing to nurse an ankle injury, giving him a decent shot to replicate the 8-169-2 line he posted against the Packers earlier in the year. | ||||
BN | 8.97 | 15% (+2) | 125 | Nyheim Hines has just five touches in the past two games as workhorse Jonathan Taylor continues to get the vast majority of opportunities in the Indianapolis backfield, but perhaps Hines will be able to make the most of his limited usage in Week 17 against a Raiders defense that has allowed 14 touchdowns to running backs on the ground and another six through the air. | ||||
BN | 7.05 | 14% (-5) | 176 | Cole Kmet has seen at least five targets in five straight games for the Bears, topping 40 yards four times, but is still seeking his first touchdown catch of the year in a Week 17 matchup against a Giants defense that's allowed opposing tight ends to score six times through 15 games, with only five topping 46 yards. | ||||
BN | 13.63 | 85% (+2) | 52 | Amari Cooper has found the end zone in two of the last three games for the Cowboys and will face a reeling Cardinals defense in Week 17 that's allowed eight passing scores in their last three outings. | ||||
BN | 16.76 | 78% (+48) | 28 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 11.32 | 42% (-1) | 77 | Chase Claypool has scored just once this season for the Steelers, but in Week 17, he gets a Browns defense that ranks 19th in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
BN | 7.18 | 12% (-1) | 175 | Rashod Bateman has topped 35 yards just once over his last six games for the Ravens, and in Week 17, he gets a Rams defense that ranks eighth in pass DVOA in 2021. | ||||
