Weekly NFL Player Projections

- Updated every FRIDAY by 3pm Pacific Time -
If you are not seeing the current week, your browser is loading a cached page.

If you play fantasy football then you know one of the big decisions each week is who to start and who to bench. Hopefully our weekly predictions for key players can help. Likewise if you follow player prop bets, these projections should prove useful, and finally we've seen some promising team level predictiveness.


Predicting Individual Player Performance: Week 17

Trying to forecast player stats on a game by game basis is a tricky thing in the NFL, since much depends on the team and not just the individual -- a running back can quickly lose carries on a day if his team falls behind and has to pass, likewise the deep passing game participants may take a seat if a team gets ahead and just wants to run out the clock.

Nevertheless, we are back again for another season of boldly making player predictions!
