Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 17 Rankings
1.
Saquon Barkley
RB - PHI (vs . DAL)
Saquon Barkley took a step closer to the NFL's single-season rushing record with last week's 150-yard effort. Philadelphia should continue to feed Barkley in Week 17, and the matchup is right for fantasy production. The Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. In run defense, Dallas ranks last in the NFL in EPA (expected points added). With quarterback Jalen Hurts questionable due to a concussion, Philadelphia would be wise to lean on Barkley and the run game in this matchup. Barkley continues to be an elite RB1 this week.
|
2.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (at SF)
Operating as Detroit's bell-cow back with David Montgomery out, Jahmyr Gibbs logged a season-high 27 touches last week. He did not disappoint, finishing the day with 154 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Gibbs will continue to lead the Lions backfield on Monday night when the team faces the San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco continues to funnel production to running backs. Opposing backs have scored 17 times and amassed just under 2,000 total yards against San Francisco this year. Gibbs can flip championship matchups on Monday night.
|
3.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (at WAS)
The stellar sophomore season for Falcons running back Bijan Robinson continued in Atlanta's blowout victory versus the New York Giants. Robinson eclipsed 100 total yards for the ninth time in 10 games and has finished as a top-14 fantasy back in all nine of those outings. Robinson added two touchdowns for good measure last week, his 10th and 11th of the year. Atlanta faces the Washington Commanders on Sunday night in Week 17. Washington has been solid in terms of fantasy points allowed to enemy backs. However, they rank 25th in the NFL in DVOA versus the run. Robinson should have enough opportunities to keep up his recent productivity in this matchup.
|
4.
Derrick Henry
RB - BAL (at HOU)
Derrick Henry bulldozed the Pittsburgh Steelers to the tune of 189 scrimmage yards last week. However, the Ravens running back failed to score for the fourth consecutive game. It is poorly timed negative regression for fantasy managers after Henry had registered at least one touchdown in 11 straight games to begin the season. The good news is that Henry has at least 111 scrimmage yards and has been a top-20 fantasy back in three of those four games. Henry faces a tough Texans defense but remains an RB1 in all formats. If he can find the end zone, he has top-five overall upside at the position this week.
|
5.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (vs . ARI)
Kyren Williams has been one of the most underrated running backs in the NFL this season. He has generally not racked up huge weekly yardage totals like Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry have been prone to doing. However, Williams enters Week 17 third in the NFL in rushing yards. He has consistently provided rushing yards and fantasy points throughout the year. Williams has yet to have a bad fantasy game this season. He has finished as an RB1 or RB2 in 12-team leagues in 14 of 15 games this year. His worst weekly finish was RB30 back in Week 10. The Rams host an Arizona team eliminated from the playoffs last week. Arizona also allows the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Williams should continue to post RB1 production in Week 17.
|
6.
Jonathan Taylor
RB - IND (at NYG)
Jonathan Taylor singlehandedly won semifinal matchups for fantasy managers a week ago with his 218-yard, three-touchdown outburst versus the Tennessee Titans. Taylor has an even more favorable matchup this week when the Colts face the New York Giants. New York has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. They have operated as a pass-funnel defensively. However, Indianapolis should enjoy a positive game script as a heavy favorite. That should enable Taylor to maintain enough volume to post huge numbers again this week.
|
7.
Chase Brown
RB - CIN (vs . DEN)
Chase Brown failed to score a touchdown last week but still surpassed 100 scrimmage yards for the fifth consecutive game. Brown has one of the highest usage rates among running backs in the NFL since the midseason injury to Zack Moss. Brown has at least 20 touches in six of his last seven contests. That level of volume and consistency has made Brown one of the biggest bargains of the 2024 season. The Bengals face a Denver defense that leads the NFL in DVOA versus the run this year. However, Brown has previously overcome difficult matchups and should be a volume-based RB1 even in a tough matchup.
|
8.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (at CLE)
De'Von Achane finally popped off for a long touchdown run last week, sealing Miami's win with a 50-yard score. That type of explosive play had inexplicably disappeared from Achane's repertoire this year. The good news is that Achane has remained an elite fantasy running back despite the relative lack of big plays. He has excelled as a pass catcher out of the backfield, enabling him to finish as a top-15 fantasy back in seven of his last nine games. Achane should be firmly entrenched as an RB1 in all formats, with a solid bump in PPR formats.
|
9.
Josh Jacobs
RB - GB (at MIN)
It felt like some meat was left on the bone last week when it came to Josh Jacobs. Jacobs had 85 total yards and a touchdown through Green Bay's first two drives against the New Orleans Saints. However, with the Packers taking control of the game early, they decided not to overwork their top running back as the game progressed. Jacobs carried the ball 13 times after registering at least 18 carries in five straight games before Monday's win. Green Bay faces division rival Minnesota in Week 17. Though the matchup is daunting, the volume should be enough to boost Jacobs into RB1 territory this week.
|
10.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (vs . DEN)
Ja'Marr Chase scored his league-leading 16th receiving touchdown of the season late in Cincinnati's Week 16 win versus the Cleveland Browns. Chase is a threat to score every time he touches the ball and gets plenty of volume in the Bengals' pass-happy offensive attack. Chase should be heavily involved again this week when Cincinnati hosts the Denver Broncos. Denver plays man coverage at the fifth-highest rate in the NFL but allows the fifth-highest first-down-plus-touchdown rate when playing man. Ja'Marr Chase is an elite WR1 in Week 17, as in most weeks.
|
11.
Bucky Irving
RB - TB (vs . CAR)
Bucky Irving keeps earning more work for the Buccaneers and, in the process, rewards fantasy managers with solid production. If you remove the Week 14 outing in which Irving left early due to injury, he has at least 16 touches in five consecutive games. He has recorded at least 87 total yards in all five of those games and scored in four. One of those games occurred four weeks ago when Irving was the overall RB1 against the Carolina Panthers. Tampa Bay hosts Carolina in Week 17. Barring injury, Bucky Irving is a solid RB1 in all formats this week.
|
12.
Chuba Hubbard
RB - CAR (at TB)
Chuba Hubbard sealed Carolina's overtime victory over Arizona with a 21-yard touchdown in the extra session. Hubbard finished the week with 152 rushing yards and two touchdowns, trailing only Jonathan Taylor in fantasy points. The Panthers will travel to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Tampa Bay has been a pass funnel and held Hubbard to just 43 scrimmage yards in their last meeting back in Week 13. Hubbard has sometimes fallen victim to negative game script, so he may not be as safe as most other RB1 options this week.
|
13.
Joe Mixon
RB - HOU (vs . BAL)
|
14.
James Cook
RB - BUF (vs . NYJ)
|
15.
Aaron Jones Sr.
RB - MIN (vs . GB)
Aaron Jones Sr. enters Week 17 as the overall RB15 in Half-PPR scoring this season. That feels like a more realistic expectation for Jones Sr. from a fantasy perspective than to treat the former Packer as an RB1 in 10 and 12-team leagues. Jones Sr. has only finished as a top-12 weekly fantasy back four times in 15 games, never finishing inside the top six in a given week. He has scored double-digit fantasy points 11 times to his credit, giving him a reasonably high weekly floor. However, he is best suited as an RB2, which is the case in Week 17. Minnesota faces a Green Bay defense that has given up the fourth-fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs over the past four weeks.
|
16.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (vs . BAL)
Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has struggled from a yardage standpoint over the past two weeks. Collins has just 77 total receiving yards across his last two games after averaging 104 yards in his first eight games of the season. Collins has a great chance to get closer to that triple-digit mark in Week 17 when the Houston Texans host the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens rank in the bottom five in both receptions and receiving yards allowed to opposing wideouts this season. They also have the worst DVOA in the NFL versus number-one receivers. Collins should also get all the work he can handle after the season-ending injury to Tank Dell. As long as Houston does not rest any of their regulars, Nico Collins is an elite WR1 in this game.
|
17.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (vs . ARI)
Last week was the first game in 2024 in which Puka Nacua played a full game and failed to finish as a top-24 fantasy wide receiver in Half-PPR formats. However, he still hauled in eight passes, so it's hard not to give Nacua a pass. The game was also odd, as Los Angeles had just four offensive possessions through the first three quarters. Hopefully, the Rams can be less methodical and more explosive in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona is one of the worst defenses in the NFL when playing zone coverage. This should be a favorable matchup for the Rams' primary wide receivers. But Nacua has separated himself a bit from Cooper Kupp in recent weeks, making him the preferred WR1 option.
|
18.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (vs . GB)
The touchdown pendulum has swung back in the favor of Justin Jefferson in a big way in recent weeks. After scoring a touchdown in his first four games to start the year, Jefferson scored just once in his following eight outings. But Jefferson scored five times in his last three contests, including last week's two-touchdown effort. Jefferson also posted a season-high 144 receiving yards, finishing the week as the top-scoring fantasy wide receiver. Minnesota faces the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. Green Bay gives up the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this year. However, Jefferson is not like most wide receivers. He had 85 yards and a touchdown in the previous matchup between these teams and can easily post a similar line this week.
|
19.
Brian Robinson Jr.
RB - WAS (vs . ATL)
|
20.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (at BUF)
|
21.
Mike Evans
WR - TB (vs . CAR)
Mike Evans has at least 68 receiving yards in all five games since returning from his hamstring injury. However, his weekly fantasy results have been up and down. Evans has twice finished as a top-four overall wideout but has finished outside the top 25 in his other three games. He has a solid Week 17 matchup versus the Carolina Panthers. Evans had 118 yards a score when these teams squared off earlier this month. The veteran should be heavily targeted as he tries to keep his streak of 1,000-plus yard seasons intact. Evans is a solid WR1 in this matchup.
|
22.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (at SF)
Amon-Ra St. Brown posted a typical Amon-Ra St. Brown line in last week's Lions' victory. Detroit's top wide receiver scored an even 16 fantasy points in Half-PPR formats. It was just above his 15.5-point average and marked the sixth time St. Brown finished a week with between 15 and 18 fantasy points. St. Brown is set to face a San Francisco 49ers defense that has served as a run funnel this season. However, he has a high target share and is a threat to score a weekly touchdown. Consider him a solid WR1 in all formats.
|
23.
Brian Thomas Jr.
WR - JAC (vs . TEN)
After a brief midseason lull, Jacksonville rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has been one of the most productive fantasy wideouts in the entire NFL. Thomas Jr. has at least 76 receiving yards in five straight games, including an eight-catch, 86-yard outing when Jacksonville last faced the Tennessee Titans. Thomas Jr. has been a target magnet since Mac Jones took over the team's quarterback duties from the injured Trevor Lawrence. The rookie has been targeted 49 times in his last four games. As a byproduct of that volume, Thomas Jr. has scored the fourth-most fantasy points among wide receivers since Week 13. He should continue to be a steady source of fantasy production in Week 17.
|
24.
Rico Dowdle
RB - DAL (at PHI)
|
25.
A.J. Brown
WR - PHI (vs . DAL)
It was interesting to see Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown earn a season-high 15 targets in the same game in which Jalen Hurts exited after six minutes due to a concussion. Backup signal-caller Kenny Pickett certainly seemed to know where his bread was buttered upon entering the game. Pickett targeted Brown on over 60 percent of his passes. He also targeted DeVonta Smith seven times. While Pickett is certainly a downgrade from Hurts, fantasy managers will sign up for 15 targets every day of the week and twice on Sundays. It is unclear who Philadelphia's quarterback will be this week, but the matchup is favorable versus the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has given up the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this year and struggles in man coverage. That is Brown's forte, so expect a productive outing from Brown regardless of which quarterback starts on Sunday.
|
26.
Jerome Ford
RB - CLE (vs . MIA)
|
27.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (vs . DEN)
There is no shame in playing Robin to Ja'Marr Chase's Batman, and Tee Higgins has been playing that role quite nicely. Higgins scored for the fifth time in his last six games last week. He has finished as a top-20 fantasy wideout in all five of those games, averaging 78 receiving yards per game. The Bengals figure to keep featuring their dynamic duo in Saturday's matchup with the Denver Broncos. Higgins excelled last week in a similar matchup against a man-coverage-heavy Cleveland Browns team. Expect more of the same this week, making Higgins a solid WR1 candidate.

28.
Tony Pollard
RB - TEN (at JAC)
|
29.
Tyreek Hill
WR - MIA (at CLE)
|
30.
D'Andre Swift
RB - CHI (vs . SEA)
Since Week 11, Swift has been the RB35 in fantasy points per game, averaging 15.2 touches and 64.2 total yards per game. Across his last six games, among 50 qualifying backs, he has ranked 38th in missed tackles forced per attempt, 31st in yards after contact per attempt, and 32nd in explosive run rate. Swift will have a tough time getting going this week against a massively improved run defense for Seattle. Since Week 11, they have held backs to the 11th-fewest rushing yards per game, fourth-fewest explosive run rate, and the 12th-fewest yards after contact per attempt.
|
31.
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB - NYG (vs . IND)
|
32.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at CHI)
Charbonnet will draw the start this week. In his four games as the starter for Seattle, he has averaged 19.5 touches and 108.7 total yards. He has had weekly finishes as Seattle's lead back of RB8, RB7, RB1, and RB17. Among 64 qualifying rushers, Charbonnet ranks tenth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 17th in yards after contact per attempt. Charbonnet should steamroll the Bears this week. Since Week 11, Chicago has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, the eighth-highest rushing success rate, and the eighth-highest yards before contact per attempt.
|
33.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at PHI)
Despite the chaos surrounding the Dallas Cowboys for much of the 2024 season, CeeDee Lamb continues to produce at an incredible clip. Lamb is the overall WR4 in Half-PPR scoring as we enter Week 17. He has finished as a top-20 fantasy wide receiver in five of his last six games, all with Cooper Rush at quarterback. Dallas faces a tough Philadelphia defense this week. However, the Eagles gave up five touchdown passes to rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels just last week, so they are not impenetrable. Continue to treat Lamb as a WR1, even in a tough matchup.
|
34.
Davante Adams
WR - NYJ (at BUF)
It has not resulted in much success from a real-life NFL standpoint, but Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers have reinforced their bond in recent weeks. Adams leads all non-quarterbacks in total fantasy points since New York's Week 12 bye. The veteran could be set up for success again in Week 17. The Jets are massive underdogs versus the Buffalo Bills, which could increase their passing output. Also, Rodgers is sitting on 499 career touchdown passes. It would not surprise anyone to see Rodgers specifically target Adams to catch his 500th NFL touchdown pass. Adams should remain on the WR1 radar in this matchup.
|
35.
Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (vs . ATL)
Terry McLaurin enters Week 17 with a dozen touchdown receptions this season. That number is second in the NFL behind Bengals superstar Ja'Marr Chase. McLaurin ranks just 26th in the NFL in total targets but has made the most of his opportunities. McLaurin should have solid touchdown equity again this week when Washington faces the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta has allowed 20 touchdown catches to opposing wide receivers this year. That is tied for the highest mark in the league. McLaurin is a touchdown-dependent WR1, but one with a good chance of paying off in this matchup.

DJ Moore
WR - CHI (vs . SEA)
Since Week 11, Moore has been the WR15 in fantasy points per game, seeing six red zone targets (two scores). During that span, Moore has had a 26.2% target share, 1.77 YPRR, and a 33.6% first-read share. Since Week 11, Seattle has had the fourth-highest two high rate (59.1%). Since Week 11, against two-high, Moore has seen his numbers dip with a 21.6% target share, 1.48 YPRR, and a 29.1% first-read share. This could be a down week for Moore. Since Week 11, Seattle has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
45.
Brock Bowers
TE - LV (at NO)
After two relatively quiet outings, Brock Bowers bounced back in a big way last week. In a rare Raiders victory, the rookie tight end caught 11 of 13 targets for 99 yards as Las Vegas held off the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders have another solid matchup when they face the New Orleans Saints this week. Specifically, this is a matchup that Bowers can exploit. The Saints rank 28th in the NFL in DVOA versus opposing tight ends. Bowers should continue to be the top target in the passing game, making him an ideal TE1 in all leagues.
|
46.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at CHI)
Smith-Njigba is the WR13 in fantasy points per game, ranking 18th among wide receivers in red zone targets. Since Week 11, he has been the WR10 in fantasy points per game, seeing a 25% target share and 29.8% first-read share with 2.67 YPRR. Since Week 10, Chicago has had the eighth-highest single-high rate (59.7%). Since Week 11, against single-high, Smith-Njigba has had a 27.7% target share, 2.89 YPRR, and a 29.2% first-read share. In the last six games, he has ranked second on the team in deep targets, behind only Metcalf. Since Week 11, Chicago has allowed the most PPR points per target and the 12th-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

George Kittle
TE - SF (vs . DET)
George Kittle has been one of the bright spots in what has otherwise been a disappointing season for the San Francisco 49ers. Kittle posted his second top-three fantasy finish in three weeks last week despite not catching any touchdowns over that stretch. Kittle closes the fantasy football season with a Monday night matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit ranks second in the NFL in DVOA versus opposing tight ends. However, injuries have racked the Lions' defense, and Kittle is a different animal. Kittle should continue to battle Brock Bowers down the stretch for the top spot among tight ends in total fantasy points.

Trey McBride
TE - ARI (at LAR)
Last week, it felt like Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals were trolling fantasy managers with their usage (or lack thereof) of Trey McBride. Facing a Carolina team that had allowed the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends, Murray publicly promised McBride would score his first receiving touchdown of the season "soon." Well, as it turns out, "soon" was definitely not last week. McBride matched season lows with three catches and four targets while posting a season-worst 20 receiving yards. We can only hope that usage was an anomaly. McBride has been an elite tight end all year, even without the touchdowns, so keep treating him as a high-end TE1.
|
62.
DK Metcalf
WR - SEA (at CHI)
Since Week 11, Metcalf has been the WR42 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 19.5% target share, 1.67 YPRR, and a 30.7% first-read share. Across the last six games, Metcalf has three end-zone targets and two red-zone targets. Metcalf could have a wonderful bounce-back game this week. Since Week 10, Chicago has had the eighth-highest single-high rate (59.7%). Since Week 11, against single-high, Metcalf has had a 26.5% target share, 2.23 YPRR, and a 39.6% first-read share. Metcalf should also lead the charge with downfield passing. Since Week 11, he has led the team with ten deep targets. Since Week 11, Chicago has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Keenan Allen
WR - CHI (vs . SEA)
Allen has benefited from some good matchups, improved play from Caleb Wiliams, and the passing game getting leaned on in catch-up mode because of the Bears' leaky defense. Since Week 11, Allen has been the WR12 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 28% target share with 2.08 YPRR and a 31.5% first-read share. Allen should see another heavy-volume game this week. Since Week 11, Seattle has had the fourth-highest two high rate (59.1%). Since Week 11, against two-high, Allen has seen a boost to his numbers with a 31% target share, 2.41 YPRR, and a 31.6% first-read share. This isn't a pushover matchup for Allen, but he should lead the way for Chicago's passing attack and has the talent to overcome any difficulties. Since Week 11, Seattle has ranked 17th in fantasy points per game allowed to slot receivers while holding the position to the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game.

Jonnu Smith
TE - MIA (at CLE)
Jonnu Smith continues to be one of the season's best surprises at what has often been a frustrating tight end position. Smith overcame a tough matchup versus San Francisco, catching all six of his targets for 62 yards. It was Smith's sixth straight top-10 fantasy performance among tight ends. Smith has a more favorable draw in Week 17 when the Miami Dolphins face the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year. Smith has averaged 7.2 receptions over his last six games. As long as he gets that many touches, he will remain a top-10 fantasy tight end in all formats.

Rome Odunze
WR - CHI (vs . SEA)
Sit Odunze this week. Since Week 11, Seattle has had the fourth-highest two high rate (59.1%). Since Week 11, against two-high, Odunze has had a 20.7% target share with 1.28 YPRR and a 24.1% first-read share. Since Week 11, Seattle has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Since Week 11, Odunze has managed double-digit fantasy points only twice, and I don't think he will add a third game to that ledger this week.
|
80.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (at HOU)
Patience has been a virtue for fantasy managers who held onto Mark Andrews. Andrews scored just 9.5 total fantasy points through the first four weeks of the season. Yet he enters Week 17 as the overall TE5 in total scoring in Half-PPR formats. Most of Andrews' success has come via incredible efficiency instead of bankable volume. Andrews has scored nine times in 10 games despite never surpassing six receptions or 68 yards in any game this year. The veteran will likely need to score this week to pay off as a TE1. The Houston Texans rank third in the NFL in DVOA versus tight ends. On the bright side, they have served six touchdowns to the position, giving Andrews a good chance to keep up his scoring streak in Week 17.
|
81.
Sam LaPorta
TE - DET (at SF)
Sam LaPorta has recently picked up the pace from a volume and production standpoint, and just in time for fantasy managers. LaPorta had six or fewer targets in his first 11 games to start the year. But he has earned at least seven targets in his last three games, averaging eight per outing. He also has six touchdowns across his previous 10 contests. LaPorta is back to being a weekly TE1, including this week, despite a tough matchup versus San Francisco. Sam LaPorta may not get the volume that players like Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. However, fantasy managers should continue to treat him as a TE1 based on elite efficiency.

Cole Kmet
TE - CHI (vs . SEA)
Kmet has been a ghost recently. Over the last three games, he has only three receptions, 23 receiving yards, and a score. Even looking back all the way to Week 11, it doesn't get much better for Kmet when looking at his success against two high. Since Week 11, Seattle has had the fourth-highest two high rate (59.1%). Since Week 11, against two-high, Kmet has had a 9.5% target share, 0.79 YPRR, and a 7.6% first-read share. Across the last six games, Kmet has only two red zone targets, both of which come via Week 12. The matchup is decent enough to put Kmet on the fringe of the streaming radar for this week. Seattle has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game and the 13th-most receptions per game to tight ends.

Since Week 13, Fant has been the TE32 in fantasy points per game while seeing two red zone targets. In his last four games, Fant has had a 15.3% target share and a 15% first-read share with 1.04 YPRR. Fant is a strong streaming option this week against a pass defense that has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game, the highest yards per reception, and the ninth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
