Fantasy Football Week 17 RB Streamers
Khalil Herbert Fantasy Outlook
Khalil Herbert ran for 112 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in the Bears’ 27-16 win over the Cardinals. He also caught 1-of-2 targets for nine receiving yards. Herbert’s role exploded in D’Onte Foreman’s absence, as Herbert owned a 51% snap share and ran all over the Arizona Cardinals’ defense. Herbert was a popular option early in this fantasy season, and he’s a post-hype RB2 this week especially if Foreman misses another game.
Tyjae Spears Fantasy Outlook
Tyjae Spears has been a top fantasy football stash all season long, but he’s yet to have his full breakout as Derrick Henry continues to captain the lion’s share of touches out of the Titans’ backfield. He ran for 40 yards on nine carries in the Titans’ 20-17 loss against the Seahawks. He also caught 5-of-6 targets for 27 receiving yards.
Spears finished as the RB 27 in Half PPR formats this week, marking the third time in the last four weeks that he has finished inside the top 30. He finished as the RB18 in Week 13 and the RB16 in Week 14. Spears is a risky play in an RB2 spot for the championship, but he holds plenty of upside potential as both a runner and pass-catcher in a matchup with the Houston Texans on the road.
Justice Hill Fantasy Outlook
Justice Hill ran for 26 yards on 10 carries in the Ravens’ 33-19 win over the 49ers. He also caught all three of his targets for 31 receiving yards. With Keaton Mitchell out for the season, the Ravens are back to their RBBC that came to life following JK Dobbins’ Week 1 Achilles injury. Despite being owned far less than his counterpart in Gus Edwards, Hill led the Ravens’ backfield in touches against the 49ers. While risky, Hill is a viable RB3/Flex play in a Week 17 matchup with the Dolphins.
