MNF Projections
I made my own inputs on Run The Sims, and here’s what I got spit out at WR + TE for the CLE at PIT game.
TOOLS: Run The Sims Optimizer, Simulations & Projections only $100 from now through the Super Bowl
Based on these, Dionte Johnson OVER , Pat Freiermuth OVER and DPJ UNDER Fantasy Points appears to be the strongest plays at Prize Picks.
Make sure to use code “MMN” at Prize Picks to get a deposit match up to $100 btw. Deposit $100, get another $100 for nothing. Easy game. One, Prize Picks is super fun. Two, it’s great for people in states where sports betting has yet to be fully legalized as PP is likely available in those states.

Week 17 Game Notes
Falcons: With one week to go in the season, Kyle Pitts is dangerously close to becoming the 2nd player in NFL history to have a season with 1,100 receiving yards and NOT catch multiple TD passes (Keyshawn Johnson – 2001)
Bills: Josh Allen had 4 more carries than completions and scored -1.2 points with his arm … against the Falcons
Giants: Saquon Barkley ran for 102 yards … but he has a total of -4 receiving yards over the past 2 weeks
- He hasn’t rushed for a score since Week 4
Bears: Darnell Mooney has seen his target count increase in 3 straight games
- He has at least 7 targets in 6 of 7 games following the Week 10 bye
Chiefs: In a Patrick Mahomes led offense where there were 65 total points, Mecole Hardman (53 yards) saw just 1 target and found a way to lead this team in receiving.
Bengals: Ja’Marr Chase with his 3rd 70-yard TD catch this season. On the career list, that puts him ahead of Antonio Brown and DeAndre Hopkins
- Brown was DRAFTED less than 2 months after Chase celebrated his 10th birthday
Dolphins: DeVante Parker managed just 46 yards despite 13 targets
- Jaylen Waddle had a 45-yard catch … his other 6 targets resulted in 2 yards
Titans: For the 2nd time in 3 weeks, D’Onta Foreman went over 130 total yards on 24+ touches
Raiders: Zay Jones has at least 5 catches in 4 straight games (he had 17 catches for the season prior to the winter run)
Colts: Jonathan Taylor has 9 games with 100 rush yards AND a rush TD … that’s more than any two players in the NFL combined
Jaguars: Laquon Treadwell went over 50 yards for the 5th straight game … the production has been impressive despite the obvious limitations of this offense
Patriots: For the second time this season, Rhamondre Stevenson averaged 5+ yards per carry and scored multiple touchdowns in a game in which he got 15+ carries
- The Pats get the Dolphins next week … a team than ran 30 times against in Week 1 despite a neutral game script throughout
Buccaneers: Cyril Grayson was an All-American sprinter at LSU. Who knows what’s up with Antonio Brown, but Tom Brady’s deep completion percentage is among the best of his career and there might just be an impact role up for grads next week
Jets: My guy Braxton Berrios was the only Jet with more than 5 targets … he had 12 … and 2 rush attempts
- Michael Carter (concussion) left very early on … and yet, on 3 carries, he still led all players in rushing yards in this game (54).
Eagles: Jalen Hurts has 3 pass TD over his past 5 games
- He has 4 multi-rush TD games this season which is great … but tough to sustain year-over-year
Footballs: Talent only takes you so far … Terry McLaurin’s last TD came in the middle of November
Rams: Sony Michel was the only LAR RB with a carry … he added 5 targets and 25 receiving yards
- Tyler Higbee led the Rams with 9 targets, his 6th straight game with at least 5
Ravens: Hollywood Brown hasn’t scored since Week 7 and his 39 targets over the past 4 weeks have picked up just 156 yards
Broncos: Noah Fant scored his first TD and caught his most passes in a game since Week 6
- Javonte Williams is going to be really good … he’s just burning a lot of people at the worst possible time. Past 2 weeks (at Raiders, at Chargers): 21 carries for 42 yards
Chargers: Austin Ekeler has a rush TD in 4 straight games, multiple receptions in every game this season besides that weird Week 1 in Washington when everyone panicked
Texans: If you adjust for QB play, Brandin Cooks’ season is as impressive as any. He has a TD or 100 yards in 4 of his past 5 games
49ers: Can George Kittle just get consistent usage? Under 5 targets for the 4th time in 7 weeks and under 6 PPR FP for the 4th time this season
- Deebo Samuel’s backfield usage remained with Trey Lance under center … 5+ carries in 7 straight games
Cardinals: Zach Ertz caught 5+ passes for a 4th straight week, but he’s averaging under 53 yards per game over that stretch
Cowboys: Dalton Schultz’s target count over his past 4 games: 3 – 8 – 9 – 10
- Ezekiel Elliott has been held under 55 rush yards in every game since Dallas’ Week 7 bye
Panthers: DJ Moore’s PPR production has dipped each week since the Week 13 bye despite strong volume (10.3 targets per game)
- In his last 3 games, his 31 targets have totaled just 132 yards (and 0 TDs)
Saints: Marquez Callaway set a season high in targets and offered up strong production for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. He caught a TD in Week 9, his first meeting with the same Falcons team he faces next week to wrap the regular season.
Lions: 3 straight games with a TD for Amon-Ra St. Brown and he’s gone over 70 receiving yards in 5 straight despite the limitations of this offense
Seahawks: Over 130 rushing yards AND a rushing score in 3 of 4 games for Rashaad Penny.
- Over that stretch, he’s averaging 6.97 yards per carry
