    Jamison Crowder Dec 27 6:20pm ET
    Jamison Crowder

    Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder is set for an increased role on Sunday evening against the Atlanta Falcons. With Dyami Brown (hamstring) ruled out, Crowder now sits as the No.3 wide receiver on the depth chart. Crowder played the hero last weekend, catching two of his four targets for two touchdowns, including the game-winning score in the final minutes. This was the first time this season the veteran wideout saw at least four targets in a single game. With Noah Brown (kidney) and Dyami Brown both sidelined, Crowder should be set to see a similar target share once again. Crowder is worth a look as a sneaky play in DFS but should not be started in any season-long format despite facing an Atlanta secondary that has allowed the third-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season given he has had minimal fantasy production all season long.

    Zach Ertz Dec 27 6:20pm ET
    Zach Ertz

    Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz is a risky play this weekend facing the Atlanta Falcons. Ertz suffered a concussion during their Week 15 victory over the New Orleans Saints but was able to turn the corner in time to suit up last weekend. However, the veteran tight end caught just one of his two targets in this contest. This was only the second time this season Ertz caught just one pass in a single game. Ertz opened this week as a non-participant with a shoulder injury. However, he was able to log two straight full practices the following days, which suggests this injury is minor. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should view Ertz as a low-end TE1 in PPR formats, as he has averaged 10.3 PPR points over his past five games but has had a minimal role the past two weeks. He will face an Atlanta secondary that has allowed the 12th-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

    Zane Gonzalez Dec 27 6:20pm ET
    Zane Gonzalez

    Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is a risky streaming option in Week 17 when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Gonzalez has filled in for the injured Austin Seibert (groin), who has been on the IR since Week 12. As the replacement option, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on attempts and a perfect 14-for-14 on extra points. He holds a career 79.7% FG conversion rate and a 95.3% conversion rate on extra points. Even though he has struggled to find consistency throughout his career, facing a weak Atlanta defense, the Commanders may have put Gonzalez in ample scoring situations on Sunday evening. In 14+ team formats, Gonzalez is a viable streaming option. However, fantasy managers in shallower leagues should look for a more stable and proven option.

    Dante Fowler Dec 27 6:20pm ET
    Dante Fowler

    The Washington Commanders defense should be viewed as a desperation streaming option this weekend facing the Atlanta Falcons. Last weekend, they could not contain Saquon Barkley as he tallied 150 yards and two scores on the ground. This week they have another tough matchup ahead of them facing Bijan Robinson. However, the pass rush led by Dante Fowler Jr. and Frankie Luvu has been very productive, tallying seven sacks over their past two games. Outside of Robinson, they will face a passing attack led by rookie Michael Penix Jr. Penix made his career start last weekend. He was not tasked to do much against a weak Giants team, as he threw for just 202 yards on 27 attempts. However, this weekend, the Falcons may need to push the ball in the air to keep up with a potent Commanders offense. With Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) ruled out, the Commanders secondary will be undermanned, facing Drake London and Darnell Mooney. As a result, this defense carries a decent floor with projected sack production but little upside when facing a tough Atlanta offense.

    Jonnu Smith Dec 27 6:20pm ET
    Jonnu Smith

    Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith has had the best season of his career and has become one of the most crucial pieces to the offense. Since Week 8, Smith has been the TE1 and is fifth in touchdowns on the year. Week 17 presents a matchup with the Cleveland Browns, who rank 11th in fantasy points and 12th in yards per game to opposing tight ends. To make matters worse, there is a 50% chance of rain and 25+ mph winds projected in Cleveland at kickoff. However, we've seen him beat less-than-ideal conditions and be a safety blanket for Tua Tagovailoa. Start him as a solid TE1 in the championship week. He comes in as RotoBaller's TE6 in the Week 17 rankings.

    Jayden Daniels Dec 27 6:10pm ET
    Jayden Daniels

    Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be locked into all lineups on Sunday evening when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Daniels is coming off one of the most impressive wins of his rookie campaign, where he threw five scores and tallied 339 all-purpose yards in a comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Over his past four contests, Daniels has found the end zone 14 times (12 passing, two rushing) and averaged just over 300 total yards per game. This is a great sign for the rookie QB as he hit a two-game skid during Weeks 10 and 11, where he averaged just 13.0 PPR points per game. On Sunday night, the Commanders will host the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the eighth-most PPR points to opposing QBs. He is a must-start in all formats.

    Brian Robinson Jr. Dec 27 6:10pm ET
    Brian Robinson Jr.

    Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is looking to bounce-back facing the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night after a disappointing Week 16 output. Last weekend against Philadelphia, Robinson ran for just 24 yards on ten attempts and lost two fumbles. Even though the Commanders were trailing for most of the contest, Robinson was not involved much at all. However, he should be in a good position to rebound in Week 17. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the injured reserve, Robinson should be deployed as a three-down back. During Weeks 11 through 15 (four games), Robinson found the end zone twice and averaged 74.0 total yards per game. He should be started in all formats as a solid RB2 facing the Falcons, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs this season.

    Jeremy McNichols Dec 27 6:10pm ET
    Jeremy McNichols

    Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols should not be started in any format this weekend when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Even with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, McNichols has only seen a light uptick in opportunities. Instead, Brian Robinson Jr. has taken on more passing work. Over the past two weeks, McNichols has logged just four total rushing attempts and five total receptions for just 22 combined yards. Across the first 13 games of the campaign, McNichols flashed some solid upside, tallying 5.0 yards per carry but has rarely been given enough work to an impact. Given his minimal role in the Washington offense, fantasy managers should look for an alternative option as he is only projected to see a handful of attempts.

    Olamide Zaccheaus Dec 27 6:10pm ET
    Olamide Zaccheaus

    Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is set for an increased role on Sunday evening with Dyami Brown (hamstring) ruled out. Last weekend, Zacchaeus made the most of his opportunities by bringing in five of his eight targets for 70 yards and two scores. Zacchaeus saw his role increase once Brown exited early with a hamstring injury. Heading into Week 17, Zacchaeus sits as the lone No.2 option in the wide receiver room behind Terry McLaurin with Noah Brown (kidney) on the IR. Over his past three games, Zaccheaus has seen an average of 5.0 targets per game and has averaged 40.0 yards per game. Facing an Atlanta secondary that has allowed the third-most PPR points to opposing wideouts makes him a viable flex option in deeper 3WR formats.

    Darnell Mooney Dec 27 6:00pm ET
    Darnell Mooney

    After falling flat with a zero-catch performance in Week 15, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney bounced back nicely last week with a five-catch effort on six targets, racking up 82 yards in the process. It was the seventh time this season that the 27-year-old caught at least five passes in a game and he showed some nice rapport with Michael Penix Jr. in his first start under center. Despite those results, it may be tougher sledding against the Commanders in Week 17 that has been better against the pass in recent weeks, and with a shot at the playoffs on the line for the Falcons, expect them to deploy a more conservative approach via the ground attack for as long they can in this one. As such, Mooney projects as a low-end WR3 in this one with perhaps some slight upside in PPR leagues, but he also carries some downside risk with the inexperience at QB.

    Will Reichard Dec 27 6:00pm ET
    Will Reichard

    Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard gets an unfavorable spot against the visiting Green Bay Packers this Sunday. The rookie has been excellent since returning from a quad injury in Week 14. Reichard missed a field goal that Sunday in a win over the Atlanta Falcons, but he's otherwise been perfect over that stretch -; knocking through all other 17 kicks (five field goals). The Packers' D has been solid this year, allowing the sixth-fewest points per game (19.1). Still, the Vikings' offense has been among the best in the league -; clocking in at the ninth-most points scored per outing (26.4). Reichard made all five of his kicks in the two team's first meeting and should again be afforded point opportunities in the divisional clash. He's RotoBaller's K9 in Week 17's rankings.

    T.J. Hockenson Dec 27 5:50pm ET
    T.J. Hockenson

    Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will get a vulnerable Week 17 meeting with his division-rival Green Bay Packers. The Iowa product produced another low catch and yardage total in Week 16 (2/27) but picked up at least five targets for the sixth time in eight games since his return from injury. Hockenson looked like he might be rounding into form early in his return but has mostly taken a backseat to wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as QB Sam Darnold's preferred targets. However, he'll square off with an exploitable Packers defense this Sunday that's afforded tight ends 13.4 fantasy points per game this season -; the eleventh-most in the league. Until he picks it up, the 27-year-old is better viewed as a back-end TE1. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR TE8 ahead of Week 17's slate.

    Devon Achane Dec 27 5:50pm ET
    Devon Achane

    Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane looks to continue fantasy dominance in the championship week. The 23-year-old has been one of the most consistent running backs all season and is one of, if not the most essential piece in Miami's offense in 2024. Week 17 proposes a matchup with a Cleveland Browns defense that has been primarily stout against opposing running backs. They rank ninth in fantasy points, 12th in rushing yards, and third in receiving yards per game to the position. However, the conditions for this game are less than ideal, with a 50% chance of rain and projected wind gusts of 25+ mph at kickoff in Cleveland, Ohio. This should mean more opportunities for Achane to combat the harsh conditions. He should be started and considered a solid RB1 option, as usual. He comes in as the RB9 in the Week 16 RotoBaller rankings.

    Christian Watson Dec 27 5:50pm ET
    Christian Watson

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) did not take part in any of the team's three practices from Wednesday through Friday this week but is questionable to play in a big Week 17 divisional contest on the road against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Not only is Watson on the wrong side of questionable after not practicing all week, but he becomes even harder to rely on for fantasy purposes this weekend with the Packers not kicking off until the later slate on Sunday. Despite not practicing all week, head coach Matt LaFleur said the door is "still open" for Watson to play. The oft-injured third-year wideout suffered a knee bruise in Monday's win over the New Orleans Saints. If Watson is available against the Vikes, he'll be at risk of seeing fewer snaps. For a guy that hasn't been a top-50 fantasy receiver in 2024, it's probably just best to avoid him in fantasy with everything on the line.

    Tony Pollard Dec 27 5:40pm ET
    Tony Pollard

    Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was unable to practice all week but is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 17 against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Pollard also did not practice all of last week before drawing a questionable tag. He eventually was active in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Indianapolis Colts and played a season-low 39% of the offensive snaps while seeing only 11 touches for 40 scrimmage yards. The week before in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Pollard played just 44% of the offensive snaps. Pollard's workload is clearly being monitored late in the year with him banged up and the Titans out of the playoff picture. If he's active this weekend against the Jaguars, he'll be at risk of losing more work to Tyjae Spears, making him a shaky RB3/flex in fantasy despite the excellent matchup against a bad Jaguars defense.

    Jordan Addison Dec 27 5:40pm ET
    Jordan Addison

    Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will get a staunch test this Sunday in the visiting Green Bay Packers. Addison reached just 35 yards in Week 16 but caught five passes and reeled in a touchdown -; the seventh in his last eight appearances. He also commanded another eight targets, the fifth time he's registered at least that many in six contests. The 22-year-old has really turned it on in the second half and could still set career highs across the board over the final few weeks despite missing two games earlier in the year with an ankle injury. His team will line up for a rematch with the Packers in Week 17 that's been stout on the back end -- letting up the ninth-fewest passing yards per game in the NFL (209.7). Fortunately, Green Bay will likely be without defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee), and Addison should be afforded open looks, with teammate Justin Jefferson drawing plenty of attention. He comes in at RotoBaller's PPR WR22 in this week's rankings.

    Tyler Boyd Dec 27 5:40pm ET
    Tyler Boyd

    Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) was unable to practice all week but is considered questionable to play on Sunday in a divisional clash versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. In addition to Boyd, receiver Colton Dowell (knee) is out and receiver Bryce Oliver (knee) is questionable. The Titans played running back Tony Pollard (ankle) after he missed all three days of practice last week, but that doesn't mean the team will do the same with Boyd this weekend. Even if the 30-year-old pass-catcher suits up on Sunday, he should be avoided by fantasy managers playing for a championship in Week 17. The matchup against Jacksonville is an excellent one, but Boyd would still have very little upside with quarterback Mason Rudolph running the offense. Boyd is still searching for his first touchdown of the year and has only 376 receiving yards in 15 games in 2024.

    Aaron Jones Dec 27 5:30pm ET
    Aaron Jones

    Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones will square off against an exploitable Green Bay Packers defense at home in Week 17. The eighth-year veteran will line up with his former team for the second time this Sunday. In their first meeting, Jones scored a strong 17.9 fantasy points despite nary a trip to the end zone. His target totals have come down from earlier this season with the emergence of wide receiver Jordan Addison over the last few weeks. Still, the 30-year-old is averaging a healthy 18.3 touches per game. Green Bay has been a chore for opposing passing attacks this season, but they've been more forgiving to fantasy RBs. Although the Packers are affording their opponents the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game (102.5), they've allowed an average of 23.5 fantasy PPG to rushers -; a middle-of-the-road figure. Jones ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB13 ahead of this week's slate of action.

    Tua Tagovailoa Dec 27 5:30pm ET
    Tua Tagovailoa

    The Miami Dolphins have listed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) as questionable for Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday after he was limited in practice all week with a hip injury. Receivers Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle (knee) are both questionable as well, but all three are expected to be available this weekend as they look to keep their faint playoff hopes alive. Not only should Tagovailoa be able to play this weekend, but he should have his full complement of weapons on offense, giving him firm QB2 appeal for fantasy managers in superflex leagues. In the unlikely event that the 26-year-old signal-caller is unable to go, backup Tyler Huntley would step in under center. The Browns haven't been a great matchup for opposing QBs in fantasy by any means in 2024, while Tua is averaging 20.4 fantasy points per game, making him the QB14 in fantasy in that category.

    From RotoBaller

    Justin Jefferson Dec 27 5:30pm ET
    Justin Jefferson

    Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is a high-end WR1 play in Week 17 despite a stiff test against the visiting Green Bay Packers. The former LSU Tiger has been the hottest wideout in football since Week 14, ranking as the overall WR1 and averaging 29.6 PPR points per game. Over that stretch, he's racked up a robust 349 yards and 27 receptions with five trips to the end zone -; as many as he had through his first six games this season. Green Bay presents as one of the sounder defensive units against the pass and is tied for the fewest fantasy points allowed per game to WRs (29.3). Still, Jefferson is the PPR WR2 on the season and went for 6/85/1 in the two squads' previous meeting in Week 4. Fire up the 25-year-old as RotoBaller's top wide receiver option in Week 17.
