• The best RB plays in Week 17 🔥 

• Analysis on the positive matchups ✍️

• The latest news from around the NFL 🏈

#12: Chase Brown (CIN) vs. DEN

Brown has emerged as a legitimate fantasy starter as the Bengals have found their offensive effectiveness. This weekend against Denver is another good chance to rack up some points.

#11: James Cook (BUF) vs. NYJ

Cook was solid against the Pats last week, finding the end zone twice for Buffalo. The Jets continue to show offensive improvement, but are still looking ahead to the golf course in January. That means Cook will be a solid option for a team trying to solidify its playoff standing.

#10: James Conner (ARI) @ LAR

Conner left last week’s game early. But, if he can go, he’ll continue to demonstrate why the Cardinals continue to lean on him so heavily in their game plans. Just make sure to keep an eye on his status heading into the weekend.

#9: Bucky Irving (TB) vs. CAR

Love the matchup, and love the grit Irving’s been showing lately. He has the potential to be a league winner against the worst defense in the NFL.

#8: Zach Charbonnet (SEA) @ CHI

The Bears allow the 5th-most fantasy points per game to RBs, and Charbonnet is just 2 weeks removed from his best output of the year. With Ken Walker out, Charbonnet’s ceiling soars.

#7: Josh Jacobs (GB) @ MIN

With the game against the Saints well in hand, the Packers opted to give Jacobs some rest to get ready for Minnesota. Back in Week 4, the Vikings held him to his second-lowest fantasy score of the season. Keep it in mind, but don’t put too much stock into it. He’s still the engine driving Green Bay’s offense.

#6: De’Von Achane (MIA) @ CLE

Until Week 16, Achane hadn’t had a lot of success on the ground. Instead he was kept afloat by his significant passing game prowess. When he’s able to get momentum going on the ground too, he puts up huge fantasy totals. Look for it again this week.

#5: Kyren Williams (LAR) vs. ARI

The Rams workhorse back got 23 carries for the 3rd week in a row, and had no trouble eclipsing 100 yards. The Cardinals are relatively vulnerable to their opponents’ backfields, so Kyren is a great starter.

#4: Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) @ SF

Gibbs is easily a top-5 back with David Montgomery sidelined. He showed it last week with over 150 scrimmage yards. The opportunities should continue to pile up in this game in the Bay Area.
