Mac Jones - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been inconsistent over the last four games. Although, he has a great chance of success against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. A defense that currently ranks 31st in pass DVOA this season. They've also allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far. Jones is unfortunately playing […]

Tua Tagovailoa - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has struggled to create much fantasy value over the last few weeks. In fact, Tagovailoa has not surpassed 200 passing yards in either of his last two games.

Taylor Heinicke - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke will look to bounce back after a miserable outing in Week 16 against the Cowboys.

Heinicke doesn't have much upside in this one, as the […]

Mills has managed a passer rating of 86.2 in 2021, which puts him between Taylor Heinicke and Baker Mayfield.
