The Bills are still battling the Patriots for a division title
so should be at their best and Singletary has been at his best
the past four games. He’s averaged 18.3 FPts/G over that
span, including four touchdowns. The Jets rank 32nd against opposing
RBs this season (31.7 FPts/G) though have been slightly better
of late (25.9 FPts/G over last five games).
Free-agent-to-be Rashaad Penny has been the best part of the
Seahawks offense over the last four games. He’s surpassed
130 yards in three of the last four to produce 481 rushing yards,
five touchdowns and 21.3 FPts/G.
Assuming James Conner is still sidelined with his heel injury,
Edmonds would be set up for a great matchup against Seattle. The
Seahawks have yielded the most pass-receiving yards to opposing
RBs in the league (116-1038-3) while Edmonds has caught 13-of-15
targets the past two weeks with Conner inactive.
The Titans are No. 2 against opposing fantasy RBs (No. 1 since
Week 13 allowing just 12.5 FPts/G) and playing for the top-seed
and only AFC bye. Burkhead had a big day in Week 16, but returned
to mediocrity last weekend and figures to struggle in this one.
The Bucs are missing Leonard Fournette (hamstring), Ronald Jones
(ankle) and most recently Ke’Shawn Vaughn (ribs) leaving recently-signed
Le’Veon Bell to finish out Week 17 as the only healthy back. But
the Panthers rank No. 3 against opposing RBs yielding just 18.7
FPts/G. They have allowed the fewest receiving yards to backs
(366) and just one receiving touchdown.
The Bucs are playing for seeding and could go as high as No.
2 or as low as No. 4. They could face Philadelphia as a No. 2
seed, the 49ers as a No. 3 or have to face the Cardinals as a
No. 4. Therefore, they will be playing tough and own the No. 4
run defense allowing just 19.3 FPts/G. Hubbard is still sharing
time with Ameer Abdullah and likely won’t produce big numbers.
