Fantasy points over his last two games with zero cubie one finishes over that span Seattle owns a sub 20 implied team total and a brutal home matchup

0:28.8

versus an elite Jets defense that is allowing the leagues third lowest passing touchdown rate of 45%.

0:33.8

Gangerine is also allowing the fifth fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks 14.6 since week six got to keep chef Gino in the kitchen this week.

0:44.8

Running back Naji Harris versus the Baltimore Ravens since week six the Baltimore Ravens have completely shut down opposing running games.

0:52.8

They're in sixth and fewest fantasy points allowed facing the fifth lowest number rushes per game at 19 allowing just 66 rushing arts per game.

0:59.8

The third best mark in the NFL over that span Baltimore ranks number two overall and rush defense DV away still is running back Naji Harris rest for just 33 yards and 12 carries with these teams met back in week 14.

1:11.8

And only salvages fantasy day due to a touchdown score if he fails to find the end zone Naji Harris can emerge as a colossal bust in shape chip weekend next up here is wide receiver deandre Hopkins at the Atlanta Falcons.

1:25.8

Since week 11 when start cornerback AJ trial returned to the starting lineup for the Falcons Atlanta has allowed the fewest passing arts per game to quarterbacks at 150 yards and the fewest receiving yards per game to wide receivers at just 79 total yards.

1:39.8

They'll rank number one in the NFL and fantasy points per game allowed to wide receivers at 17.9 specifically to out wide receivers who have scored just 4.1 fantasy points per game on the perimeter.

1:51.8

Deandre Hopkins runs 70% of his routes from the boundary so he's likely in for another rough outing a week removed from an abysmal 10 target one catch game on Sunday night with trace mix orally as his starting quarterback.

2:04.8

Next up is running back Rashad white up against the Carolina Panthers white started in week 16 when was really the letter for net show for net outcarried white 27 double his rushing yards with the extra volume 72 to 36 for net also told an elite 71% opportunity sure as he played a massive role in the receiving game catching 9 of his 10 targets 21% target share for 90 yards.

2:27.8

He also ran more routes than white at 48% route participation the rookie did salvage his fantasy outing with four catches of his own for 17 yard including a touchdown score.

2:36.8

But the lopsided snap share in favor of a healthy for net 60% versus 36% makes white impossible to trust an underrated tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

2:46.8

Carolina makes number one in the NFL and fewest fantasy points allowed running backs since week 10 and per pf's online D line matchup chart and the 33rd teams trenches matchup tool.

2:56.8

Books office of line suffers from a bottom three run walking grade against the panthers defensive line and the last time the bucks face Carolina they not only lost the game but both white and foreign it were held under five fantasy points.

3:09.8

Wolf running back Alvin Camera at the Philadelphia Eagles. Cameras touchdown drought finally ended week 16 with an finally end zone against Cleveland Browns as a result the same for the first RB1 finish since week 8 but all that glitters is not goal for Camera looking ahead at next week's tough matchup featuring the Philadelphia Eagles on the road.

3:28.8

Philly has allowed the fifth few as rushing arts per game to running back since week 12 a k 41 has struggled immensely in tougher matchups all year long in week 17 figures to be no different not to mention touchdown equity might be tougher for Camera to find considering tight end slash running backs.

3:43.8

Do it all play your taste of Hill out carry him three to one inside the 10 yard line in week 16 next up is running back Devon Singletary who's playing at the Cincinnati Bengals. Singletary with a 48% opportunity share in James Cook with a 41% opportunities share split backfield duties with both Buffalo running backs delivering productive games in week 16.

4:04.8

Singletary went 12 for one of six and one will cook rush for 99 yards in one score on 11 carries. Singletary had the bigger edge on snaps 58% for 41% and routes run but the dual usage overall from all angles suggests we have a classic 1 a 1 b backfield.

4:19.8

Over the last four weeks Cook is definitely solidified his role in the offense averaging 40% snap rate he'd never hit that number prior to week 13 but the time share will make Singletary and cook tough to trust in a match up versus a stingy Bengals front since he ranked seventh and run defense devio with even sublime and DJ reader back in a lineup over the last five weeks.
