In Week 16 against Arizona when Carson and Prosise got hurt, Homer had five carries for 16 yards, as well as six catches for 26 yards on eight targets.
He's worth using as a flex in PPR against the 49ers, who have allowed three touchdowns to running backs in the past two games. Sony Michel RB. LAR L. Michel has been a regular on the sit list for most of the season, but he should do well this week against the Dolphins.
And let's give him credit, he does have over total yards in each of his past two games against the Bengals and Bills. But he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 7, which has been frustrating, and the Patriots continue to use James White and Rex Burkhead to take away touches. But Michel should do well also, and he had 21 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown at Miami in Week 2.
Mike Boone RB. Let's rewind a week and forget everything we said about Boone in Week 16 against the Packers. He was a disaster replacing Dalvin Cook shoulder and Alexander Mattison ankle with 11 carries for 28 yards, as well as one catch for 5 yards on one target.
Abdullah had four carries for 27 yards and six catches for 31 yards on seven targets against the Packers, so consider him a sleeper this week. Boone cannot be trusted against the Bears, even though the matchup is favorable. David Montgomery RB. Even though the Vikings might be resting guys on defense this week to prepare for the wild-card round of the playoffs, it's still risky to use Montgomery in most leagues.
Despite getting plus touches in seven games in a row, he only has one game with more than six PPR points over that span. I'm going to draft a lot of Montgomery in when most people pass on him, because his workload should remain consistent, and I expect the Bears offensive line to improve this offseason. But his rookie year hasn't been great, and I don't expect him to finish with a strong performance on the road at Minnesota. Kerryon Johnson RB. It was great to see Johnson back in Week 16 at Denver after being out for the previous eight games with a knee injury.
He had 10 carries for 42 yards and one catch for 1 yard on one target, but he shared touches with Bo Scarbrough, who had eight carries for 34 yards. I expect that split to remain in Week 17 against the Packers, and Green Bay's run defense has looked better in the past two games against Chicago and Minnesota. This game matters to the Packers for seeding in the NFC, and they should be able to contain Johnson on the ground.
He's a flex at best in Week Patrick Laird RB. Laird could be looking at a big workload in Week 17 at New England with Myles Gaskin ankle out, but that shouldn't matter much against the Patriots. Laird has struggled the past two games against the Giants and Bengals with a combined eight PPR points, and he only has one touchdown on the season.
The Patriots have allowed just two touchdowns to running backs on the season and should be able to dominate the Dolphins at home. At best, Laird is a flex option in PPR. Carlos Hyde RB. Hyde was awesome in Week 15 at Tennessee with 26 carries for yards and a touchdown, and he's scored in consecutive games against Tampa Bay last week.
But this really isn't about his performance or the matchup, and it's more about how much he might play. As we said about Deshaun Watson, the Texans might have nothing to play for this week if the Chiefs beat the Chargers and lock up the No. That would leave the Texans in the No. Then again, if the Chiefs lose to the Chargers, the Texans will try to win, so Hyde could be fine. It's risky, and I expect the Chiefs to win, meaning Hyde could play limited snaps against the Titans.
Devin Singletary RB. The theme of Week 17 is who will play and how much when it comes to teams heading to the playoffs with nothing on the line. The Bills are one of those teams since they are locked into the No. We don't know exactly how long Sean McDermott will play his key guys, but it's doubtful Singletary will get a full workload. As such, look at Frank Gore and T. Yeldon as potential sleepers against the Jets. I'd be nervous to trust Singletary in Week 17, so look for an alternative given his potential to get limited touches in a meaningless game.
Brown WR. It was nice to see Brown get quality Fantasy production in Week 16 against New Orleans even when his receiving numbers were down. He only managed one catch for 34 yards on two targets, but he still scored on a yard touchdown run. He's now scored at least 14 PPR points in four of his past five games, including a point outing in Week 15 against the Texans when he had eight catches for yards and a touchdown on 13 targets.
He's a star in the making and should play big once again in Week Breshad Perriman WR. Perriman and Justin Watson are two of my favorite receivers for Week 17 — just as they were in Week Both delivered against the Texans last week, with Perriman getting seven catches for yards on 12 targets, while Watson had five catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets.
Both should get double digits in targets again, and Perriman has scored at least 13 PPR points in four games in a row.
Watson has scored at least 15 PPR points in two of his past three games. Kenny Golladay WR. Golladay had five catches for yards on nine targets in Week 6 at Green Bay, and he's either scored or went over receiving yards in three games in a row against the Packers.
He's now scored at least 17 PPR points in three of four games with David Blough under center, and it was great to see him get 12 targets in Week 16 at Denver, finishing with six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown.
He's having a breakout third-year campaign, and he should finish strong in this matchup at home with Green Bay. Golden Tate WR. Keep an eye on Darius Slayton knee , who could be out this week. That would bode well for Tate and Sterling Shepard against the Eagles, and I like both a lot in this matchup. Ronald Darby hip is out for Philadelphia's secondary, and Tate and Shepard should see plenty of targets from Daniel Jones.
In Week 16 against Washington, with Slayton banged up, Tate had six catches for 96 yards on 11 targets, and Shepard had six catches for 76 yards and a touchdown on six targets. Slayton dominated the Eagles in Week 14 with five catches for yards and two touchdowns on eight targets, but this week could be Tate and Shepard doing most of the damage if Slayton is out.
Michael Gallup WR. I like Gallup and Amari Cooper a lot this week, and Cooper remains a must-start Fantasy option, especially at home. In seven home games this season, Cooper is averaging Gallup is averaging He had 12 PPR points in Week 2 against Washington, and the Redskins have allowed five touchdowns to receivers in their past four games.
Gallup just had five catches for 98 yards on 11 targets in Week 16 at Philadelphia, and we hope to see him get that type of volume again in Week Greg Ward WR. Ward has scored at least 11 PPR points in consecutive games, and he should stay hot against the Giants this week, especially if Nelson Agholor knee remains out as expected.
In his past two games, Ward has 14 targets for 11 catches, yards and a touchdown. He would also benefit if Zach Ertz ribs can't go. Steven Sims WR. Sims has scored at least 15 PPR points in consecutive games for Washington, with 21 targets over that span. He had five catches for 45 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Week 15 against Philadelphia, and then he had six catches for 64 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets in Week 16 against the Giants.
He would likely see a boost in value if Terry McLaurin concussion can't play as well. Hunter Renfrow WR. Renfrow has scored at least 11 PPR points in four of the past five games he was able to finish, including Week 16 against the Chargers when he had seven catches for yards and a touchdown on nine targets. The targets, catches and yards were a season high, and hopefully he'll build on that performance this week. Anthony Miller WR. I'll stick with Miller for one more week, even after his down game in Week 16 against the Chiefs.
He only had one catch for 2 yards on two targets against Kansas City for one PPR point, but prior to that he had at least 11 PPR points in five games in a row. He could easily rebound in Week 17 at Minnesota and remains at least a No. N'Keal Harry WR. I like Tom Brady a lot this week as the Start of the Week, and his receivers should do well against the Dolphins, who allow the most touchdowns to opposing receivers with Julian Edelman is obviously a must-play receiver, but someone from Mohamed Sanu, Harry, Jakobi Meyers or potentially Phillip Dorsett should step up in this matchup.
I'll take a flier on Harry, who has scored a touchdown in two of his past five games. Hopefully, he finds the end zone at home in Week Adam Thielen WR. In two games back from his four-game absence with a hamstring injury, Thielen has combined for three catches for 27 yards on seven targets. He might not play a full game in Week 17 with the Vikings locked into the No. But even if we knew the Vikings would play Thielen for all four quarters, you just can't trust him right now given how he's performed in his return.
He also had just two catches for 6 yards on six targets in Week 4 at Chicago. Stefon Diggs is also a risky starter with the chance Minnesota rests him in Week Mike Williams WR. LAC L. I hope Williams gets the 37 yards he needs for his first 1,yard season, but his campaign has to be considered a bust. While his yards increased dramatically from his season , and his 47 receptions and counting this year are a new career best, he went from 10 touchdowns last year to just two heading into Week He definitely had some good moments this year, but the lack of scoring has been frustrating.
This week, he should struggle against the Chiefs, who held him to two catches for 76 yards on six targets in Week Kansas City also has allowed just one receiver to score since Week At best, Williams is a No. John Brown WR. Like most of the Bills players we've talked about for Week 17, this is a team you likely want to avoid in the majority of Fantasy leagues. Buffalo could end up sitting most of its top players after being locked into the No.
Now, if the Bills play their guys a half or even longer, Brown could go off against this Jets secondary. In Week 1, Brown had seven catches for yards and a touchdown on 10 targets, but we just don't know how much he will play in Week It's risky, and it's a situation you might want to avoid. Curtis Samuel WR. Samuel's first game with Will Grier didn't go well in Week 16 at Indianapolis.
He only had two catches for 17 yards on five targets, and I would be hesitant to trust Samuel this week against the Saints. Moore concussion might be out this week, which would put more attention on Samuel, and he's proven to be touchdown-or-bust this season since he only has one game this year with more than 70 receiving yards — and none since Week 6.
At best, he's a No. Hilton WR. I'm hopeful will be better for Hilton because this year has been tough for him. He lost Andrew Luck to retirement before the season, failed to top yards in any game, missed six games due to injury and is limping to the finish line.
In his past two games, Hilton has seven catches for 51 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets. He hasn't scored since Week 7, and I can't trust him, even with a favorable matchup at Jacksonville. It would be great to see him go off in Week 17, but I would bench him in most leagues given his lack of production of late — and for most of the year.
DeVante Parker WR. He comes into Week 17 with at least 11 PPR points in every game he's been able to finish since Week 3, including four over that span with at least 20 PPR points. But I'm concerned about his production this week at New England. He was held without a catch against the Patriots in Week 2 on seven targets, and in his past five meetings with New England he has 11 catches for yards and no touchdowns.
Granted, he's a different receiver now compared to any of those previous meetings, including Week 2, but the Patriots secondary is elite. They allow the fewest Fantasy points to opposing receivers, and they've only given up four touchdowns to the position this year. Parker is more of a bust alert than a must-sit option, but I'm not excited about his outlook in Week Tyler Higbee TE. Higbee might not have Jared Goff for all four quarters this week if the Rams decide to rest him with nothing to play for.
Still, I would start Higbee even if Blake Bortles is the starting quarterback. He's on a tear coming into Week 17 with more than receiving yards in four games in a row. Even with Gerald Everett back in Week 16 at San Francisco, Higbee still managed nine catches for yards on 11 targets. And now he gets the Cardinals in Week 17, who have allowed the most Fantasy points to opposing tight ends by a wide margin this year. I can see Higbee finishing as the No.
Dallas Goedert TE. Goedert should be considered a No.
