Zach Charbonnet’s Week 17 Value In Flux

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet was of no use to fantasy managers in Week 16. With starter Kenneth Walker III (shoulder/illness) fully recovered from an oblique injury that afforded Charbonnet more work, the rookie had just three touches against the Tennessee Titans. He maintained his usual role on passing downs and inside the two-minute […]

Geno Smith A QB2 Against Steelers

After missing two starts due to injury, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was back in action in Week 16, completing 25 of 36 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans. It was a solid performance but felt lacking against an exploitable secondary, especially since Smith shredded the Dallas Cowboys for 334 […]

San Francisco 49ers D/ST An Excellent Play In Week 17

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST allowed 33 points, tallied two sacks and got no turnovers in Week 16's Christmas night home loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy managers should get a better yield this week on the road versus the Washington Commanders. Washington turns the ball over the fifth-most often in the league and is […]

Jake Moody A Good Start For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody hit a 45-yard field goal and two extra points in the team's Christmas night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The third-round pick has been two-for-two on field goals over the last two games. Both field goals were from over 40 yards, which broke a mid-season streak of six […]

Danielle Hunter A Strong Start In Week 17

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter is a strong start in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers. Hunter ranks third in the NFL with 15.5 sacks, and he is the DE1 on the season because he makes more tackles than most defensive linemen. Even though he did not make a sack last week against […]

Geno Stone A Solid Start If Kyle Hamilton Misses Week 17

Baltimore Ravens safety Geno Stone could be in for a big game if Kyle Hamilton (knee) misses Week 17. Stone typically takes the field on five DB looks and plays about 70% to 90% of the snaps, but if a starting safety misses time, Stone plays all of the snaps. Even while playing limited time, […]

George Kittle A Top-Three Option In Washington

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was heavily involved in the team's losing effort to the Baltimore Ravens last week on Christmas night. He caught seven passes for 126 yards on 10 targets. In a Week 17 matchup, Kittle will face the lowly Washington Commanders defense who have been -- surprisingly -- sixth-best at […]

Josh Allen Is A DE1 In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Josh  Allen is a starting defensive end in Week 17 with a great matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have one of the worst offensive lines and they have allowed the sixth-most QB pressures and the fourth-most stats. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has taken the sixth-most hits of any quarterback […]

Shaq Leonard Has Growing Role on Eagles Defense

Eagles linebacker Shaquille Leonard has seen a growing snap share in recent games with the Philadelphia Eagles. After joining the team in Week 14, he has seen his snap share grow each week, from 14 in Week 14 to 54 in Week 16. Last week, he made seven combined tackles and his first sack of […]

Brandon Aiyuk A WR1 In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk saved his fantasy football night in the second half of last week's Christmas night loss to Baltimore. The 25-year-old went into the halftime locker room with one catch on one target for 18 yards but became a focal point of Brock Purdy's -- and then Sam Darnold's -- […]

Clayton Tune A Risky Play If Kyler Murray Misses Time

As Week 17 approaches, Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Clayton Tune looms as a potential starter if Kyler Murray is sidelined due to illness. However, facing a formidable Eagles defense, Tune doesn't project as a reliable fantasy option. For fantasy managers deliberating whether to wait for Murray's status or pivot to Tune, the decision hinges on […]

Deebo Samuel Primed For Big Day In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (neck) came back down to earth in Week 16's loss to Baltimore, turning 12 targets into only four receptions for 47 yards and a handful of rushing yards. In Week 17 versus the league-worst Washington Commanders defense by yardage, Samuel is unlikely to disappoint again. Washington has been […]

Matt Prater A Viable Option Against The Eagles

As the Arizona Cardinals prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, veteran kicker Matt Prater emerges as a reliable fantasy option. In the recent matchup against the Bears, Prater showcased his long-range prowess by converting a 55-yard field goal, setting an NFL record with six such makes this season. Despite a relatively quiet […]

Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Playable In Week 17

As the Arizona Cardinals defense prepares to face the Philadelphia Eagles in a crucial Week 17 matchup, fantasy managers should approach this cautiously. The Cardinals' defensive unit, with only 33 sacks on the season, ranks among the lower echelons of the league in terms of quarterback pressure. Their pass defense stands at a mediocre 16th, […]

Zamir White May Lead Backfield In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White was the starter for the team again in Week 16. White had 22 carries for 145 yards in the matchup. The Raiders running back failed to bring in his only target of the game, but he was productive with his touches on the ground. White was pivotal in […]

Aidan O'Connell With A Tough Matchup In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed nine of 21 passes for 62 yards and zero touchdowns in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite passing for less than 70 yards in four full quarters, O'Connell and the Raiders walked away with a win. The win was almost entirely the doing of the defense […]

Trey McBride Faces Philadelphia As A TE1

As we gear up for the pivotal Week 17 of the fantasy season, Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride emerges as a must-start option against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite a quieter showing in the recent loss to the Bears, McBride has been on fire since quarterback Kyler Murray's return. Over the last five contests, he […]

Rondale Moore Not Worth A Start

Arizona Cardinals third-year receiver Rondale Moore faces off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, a team that currently ranks 12th against the pass. In the Cardinals' recent loss to the Bears, Moore showed his big-play potential with a 22-yard gain on two receptions, though he totaled only 30 yards. With teammate Marquise Brown now […]

Michael Wilson A Week 17 Bench Stash

Heading into Week 17, rookie receiver Michael Wilson faces the Philadelphia Eagles, currently ranked 12th against the pass. In the two games since his return from injury, Wilson hasn't found the end zone, failing to catch any of the seven targets thrown his way. With teammate Marquise Brown now on IR for the remainder of […]

Jakobi Meyers With Another Shaky Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught three of his five targets for 42 yards in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Meyers had another unexciting stat line, which has been the story of his season since the Raiders made front-office and quarterback changes. The fantasy value of Meyers is coming almost exclusively […]

James Conner An RB1 For Week 17

Heading into Week 17, Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner is enjoying a bit of a resurgence, showcasing his versatility with 16.8 touches and 79 total yards per game since his return. His involvement in the passing game has been on the rise, logging at least three targets in three of his last four outings. […]

Kyler Murray A QB2 For Week 17

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray heads into Week 17 with a questionable designation due to an illness that kept him out of practice earlier in the week. The Cardinals' official site reports that he returned on Friday as a limited participant, and coach Jonathan Gannon expects him to play. Murray's season has been a tale […]

Davante Adams With Another Tough Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams had an abysmal game in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Adams finished the game with one reception for four yards on six targets. Despite the poor performance, the Raiders still won the game due to two defensive touchdowns. The Raiders take on the Indianapolis Colts in […]

Christian McCaffrey Faces Washington As Overall RB1

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has spent all season as the consensus RB1 in fantasy, which certainly won't be changing in Week 17 at the Washington Commanders. On Christmas night against a quality Baltimore defense, the 49ers offense struggled to take care of the football but that didn't stop McCaffrey from going over […]

NFL DFS Stacks: Week 17 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The year 2023 closes out and we are into Week 17 of the NFL season. I love the holiday season and the New Year for so many reasons, but the part that bums me out is how we are so close to the NFL […]

Brock Purdy With Favorable Matchup In Washington

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to put last week's four-interception performance against Baltimore behind him when the team goes to Washington to take on the Commanders in Week 17. It's of little consolation to fantasy managers who got a near goose egg from Purdy in their playoff games last week, but his […]

Ji'Ayir Brown Ruled Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers safety Ji'Ayir Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Week 17's game against the Washington Commanders. The rookie took over the starting role after Talanoa Hufanga (knee) tore his ACL in Week 11. Brown injured his knee in the 49ers' Christmas Day contest against the Baltimore Ravens and did not practice at […]

Jonathan Greenard Out Against Titans

Houston Texans defensive end Jonathan Greenard (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Greenard injured his ankle in last week's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The injury took him out of that contest early and forced him to miss practice all week. The 26-year-old has 56 tackles on the season […]

Shaquil Barrett Ruled Out Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett (groin) has been ruled out for Week 17's game against the New Orleans Saints. Barrett has 50 tackles and five sacks on the season and he has forced three fumbles. Fellow linebackers Anthony Nelson and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka will be in the mix to fill Barrett's shoes in Tampa's pass […]

Nico Collins, De'Von Achane, D'Andre Swift: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17

Week 17 (a.k.a fantasy championship weekend) is here, which means it's time for fantasy managers to make difficult, last-minute start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Today, we'll look at Nico Collins, De'Von Achane, and D'Andre Swift. They all had their share of monster games this season, but have also disappeared at times when fantasy managers relied […]
