What a brutal week it was for fantasy with all of the touchdowns that helped no one and injuries, but here we are heading into the fantasy semifinals! It’s time to retool your rosters with the best plays to get you to next week and your fantasy championship!
SF QB Brock Purdy (18.2% Owned)
Purdy continued to have a great start to his career on Thursday, putting up 16.48 vs the Seahawks. With all the QB injuries and inconsistent play, Purdy is a great streamer again against the Commanders this week and then he has a green matchup against the Raiders in the fantasy championship.
KC RB Jerrick McKinnon (45.6% Owned)
He is much more owned than last week, but still under 50%. He is primed for another huge game against the 31st ranked rush defense. Don’t overthink. Add him even if you don’t intend to play him. Play some roster defense against your league mates.
IND RB Zack Moss (0.6% Owned)
Jonathan Taylor was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and is now out for the season. I would have thought that Dion Jackson would be the guy, and he still saw plenty of work, but Zack Moss saw a huge workload and did okay. He now has a green matchup vs the Chargers too. Could be a fine plug and play if you lost Taylor.
ATL RB Tyler Allgeier (12.0% Owned)
This is an add for the future. Allgeier has been getting more involved again in the Falcons last 3 games, but this week he went off, scoring 22 points. This week, he has a tough test against the Ravens top 10 rush D, so he probably isn’t a great play, but in week 17 he has a green matchup vs Arizona. He could be someone to fill a hole you have in the Championship round.
MIN WR KJ Osborn (0.9% Owned)
The WR waiver market isn’t amazing this week, but Osborn blew up on Saturday as part of the largest comeback in NFL history. He now has 2 straight games with a TD and tied for the Vikings lead in targets with Justin Jefferson (16). Nobody else was even close. He may be starting to supplant Adam Thielen as the #2 target in Minnesota. He is the best chance of getting a solid WR off the wire this week.
SEA TE Noah Fant (27.6% Owned)
Fant has been very up and down. Over 10 points in 2 of his last 3 games, paired with of course a big fat 0 in the other game. What puts him on this list thought is the fact that Tyler Lockett broke his finger and will miss time. That should free up a few targets for Fant to try to grab and that is about all we can ask for at the position.
TB TE Cade Otton (3.0% Owned)
Don’t like Fant but need a dart throw TE? The Bucs play Arizona. They are awful against tight ends. You could do way worse at guessing who could have a good game.
