Fantasy News
Below is an early look at the week 17 games. These aren’t our predictions; they contain no opinions or analysis. Instead, they’re based solely on how teams have played so far.
For each of the week 17 games, we’ve taken how offenses and defenses have performed in the first 15 weeks of the season. Then, we’ve averaged those numbers against each other. If, for example, a offense is averaging 120 rushing yards per game and is facing a defense that is allowing 150 rushing yards, that averages out to 135 as a starting point for week 17.
Following that process for every offense and defense in every game, Baltimore, Jacksonville and New Orleans project to have the best overall running games in week 17. Green Bay, Houston and the Giants project to have the best passing offenses.
Houston, Arizona and Oakland project to finish with the worst rushing numbers. Oakland, Cincinnati and Kansas City project to produce the worst passing numbers.
