NFL Week 17: Must Start QB In Fantasy Football

Bo Nix, Broncos:

The Bengals have been an absolute disaster defensively, allowing the third most touchdown passes and the 4th most points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Moreover, they’ve allowed the most rushing attempts and the most rushing yards to opposing QBs, too. People forget how well Bo Nix can run the ball. You’ll see it on Saturday for sure, as he goes for 240 passing yards and 2 TDs and 40 rushing yards and a TD.

Baker Mayfield, Bucs

Baker took a tough loss against Dallas last Sunday night, and Tampa needs this game badly if they want to make the playoffs. Carolina has allowed the most touchdown passes to opposing teams this season and even though they’ve played better defensively, I’m still putting my faith in a Tampa offense, which has been pretty hard to stop this season. Baker gets 260 yards and 2 TDs.

Jayden Daniels, Commanders

The Falcons have allowed the second most touchdown passes as well as the 7th most points per game to opposing quarterbacks, with all the injuries that the Commanders have had, Daniels will need to step up his game against Atlanta this weekend. I say he does with 245 passing yards and 2 TDs, plus 55 rushing yards, too.

Jordan Love, Packers

I’m really looking forward to this game against two division rivals. Minnesota has allowed the third most passing yards to opposing quarterbacks, but more importantly I think Love looks confident again like he did prior to his injury. If he can get a little time to throw, he could be able to take big advantage of the Vikings shaky secondary to the tune of 280 yards and 2 TDs.

Bryce Young, Panthers

The last time these two teams played, Young had 298 yards passing. Tampa has allowed the 4th most passing yards this season and the third most points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Young looks more confident with the scheme, and I think he’s going to have another really good game this weekend with 250 yards and 2 TDs.
