Bye Week Schedule
Week 13: None
Week 14: 49ers, Giants, Panthers, Patriots
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers
Team: The Packers are playing on Thanksgiving for the third straight year. Green Bay is 16-20-2 after beating the Dolphins and Lions the last two seasons.
QB: Jordan Love has two touchdown passes in the last four games after throwing 13 in the first seven games.
Offense: Romeo Doubs had 34 catches for 441 yards and four touchdowns on 6.5 targets per game in the first eight games. In the last three games, Dobbs has caught seven passes for 81 yards and no touchdowns on 5.0 targets per game.
Defense: The Packers recorded the team’s best PFSN Defense Impact (DEFi) score since 2006. Since 2000, the 93.2 (A) against the Vikings in Week 12 is only behind a 93.8 (A) in Week 5 against the Lions in 2009 and 93.5 (A) against the Bears in the final game of the 2006 season.
Fantasy: Jordan Love has now thrown zero touchdowns in three of his last four games. Things should turn around against a Lions pass-funnel defense, which allows the seventh most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
Detroit Lions
Team: The Lions are 38-45-2 on Thanksgiving, including 12-9-1 against the Packers. Detroit beat Chicago last Thanksgiving to snap a seven-game losing streak on the holiday.
QB: Jared Goff has thrown for at least 275 passing yards in four of 11 games this season. He has 16 such games in 34 games in the previous two seasons.
Offense: The Lions are 3-2 in the last five games, and Jahmyr Gibbs’ performance in wins and losses is drastic. He has 218 yards from scrimmage per game with eight touchdowns in the three wins, while he’s had 174 total yards, 107 from scrimmage in the two games with no scores. 75 of the 174 yards came on two exceptions against the Eagles.
Defense: In Week 1 against the Packers, the Lions had a DEFi score of 68.6 (D+). It’s the third-worst score of the season.
Fantasy: After the Lions’ loss to the Eagles, head coach Dan Campbell said he wanted to get David Montgomery more carries. What he really wanted to do was win games. Naturally, Montgomery saw his second-lowest carry count of the season with five. Meanwhile, Jahmyr Gibbs posted the single best fantasy outing of any player at any position this season with 55.4 points on 26 touches, his highest total since Week 3.
Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys
Kansas City Chiefs
Team: The Chiefs last played on Thanksgiving in 2006 and hold a record of 4–6 on this holiday. Their first Thanksgiving Day game was in 1960, when they were the Dallas Texans. In that game, they lost to the Titans in New York, a team that later became the Jets.
QB: Patrick Mahomes recorded his 20th career Fourth Quarter Comeback in Week 12 against the Colts. It was his first comeback of the season, having achieved seven last season.
Offense: Kansas City has not scored a touchdown in the first half four times this season.
Defense: The Chiefs’ defense has allowed 20 points or fewer in seven out of 11 games. In those seven games, they have won six. However, when they allow more than 20 points, their record is 0–4.
Fantasy: Patrick Mahomes has never gone more than three consecutive games without throwing multiple touchdown passes. Mahomes has thrown a total of one touchdown in his last three games. The Cowboys allow the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks by a sizable margin.
Dallas Cowboys
Team: The Cowboys are 34-22-1 on Thanksgiving, including three straight wins.
QB: Dak Prescott is 4-3 when playing in Thanksgiving Day Games. He has 13 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Offense: George Pickens is third on PFSN Wide Receiver Impact (WRi) season rankings, while CeeDee Lamb is ranked 20th.
Defense: Quinnen Williams led the NFL with a 91.3 PSFN Defensive Tackle Rankings (DTi) against the Eagles in Week 12. He is now ranked second on the season DTi rankings behind Colts’ DeForest Buckner.
Fantasy: Since CeeDee Lamb returned from his sprained ankle in Week 7, he’s out-targeted George Pickens 48-44. But Pickens has outproduced Lamb in fantasy points per game, 19.98-16.24.
Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals
Team: This is the Bengals’ second time playing on Thanksgiving. They lost to the Jets in 2010.
QB: Joe Burrow had a 72.8 (C-) QBi in Week 1 and a 79.6 (C+) in Week 2 to start the season. Joe Flacco recorded B- grades in two of his first four games with the Bengals, but has graded at D+ the last two weeks.
Offense: The Bengals have scored a total of 32 points in the last three games after scoring at least 33 points in each of the previous three games.
Defense: Cincinnati recorded the team’s second-best DEFi in Week 12, which was 75.5 (C). The highest score was a 76.9 (C) in Week 1 against the Browns. The Bengals ranked 32nd in DEFi for the season.
Fantasy: With Ja’Marr Chase suspended last week, Andrei Iosivas led the Bengals in routes run. Tee Higgins is out this week with a concussion. The Ravens allow the ninth most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Baltimore Ravens
Team: This is the third Thanksgiving Day game in Ravens history; all have been played in Baltimore. Cincinnati defeated San Francisco in 2011 and Pittsburgh in 2013.
QB: Lamar Jackson had a strong return from his hamstring injury in Week
Offense: The Ravens have committed three turnovers in six wins, all three of which occurred in Week 11 against the Browns. Baltimore has committed 10 in the team’s five losses.
Defense: The Ravens graded in DEFi at a D or D- level in four of the first five games. They received a B- or better in three of the last three games.
Fantasy: Before Week 11, Lamar Jackson had finished a game (excluding injury) with single-digit fantasy points in his career exactly zero times. He’s now done it in consecutive games. The Bengals allow the second-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles
Chicago Bears
Team: A win gives the Bears their first winning season since 2018, when they went 12-4.
QB: Caleb Williams has seven touchdown passes, one rushing touchdown, no interceptions, and one lost fumble during the Bears’ four-game winning streak. His QBi in Week 12 was the fourth best in the NFL at 77.7 (C+).
Offense: Chicago is 12th in the NFL in PFSN Offense Impact (OFFi) after finishing 25th or lower the previous four seasons.
Defense: Chicago has forced at least two turnovers in seven of 11 games. The team has ended an opponent’s drive with a turnover at an NFL-leading 20%.
Fantasy:
- Caleb Williams against bottom-half pass defenses: 25.4 PPG
- Caleb Williams against top half pass defenses: 13.2 PPG
- The Eagles are currently the No. 16 pass defense in terms of fantasy points per game allowed to QBs
Philadelphia Eagles
Team: The Week 12 loss to the Cowboys snapped the Eagles’ 11-game win streak in November dating back to 2022.
QB: Jalen Hurts had two rushing touchdowns in Week 12 after having two total in his previous seven games.
Offense: Saquon Barkley has rushed for over 100 yards in a game one time. He had 11 games last season with over 100 yards. Barkley’s Running Back Impact (RBi) score is 74.4 (31st in the NFL) after having an 88.7 last season (3rd).
Defense: Philadelphia had the 22nd DEFi in Week 12, snapping a streak of three weeks in the top ten.
Fantasy: The Eagles are undefeated (4-0) in games in which A.J. Brown has four receptions or fewer. Jalen Hurts attempted 39 passes and rushed seven times in the Eagles’ loss to the Cowboys last week. Saquon Barkley had 10 carries. Expect a very run-heavy game plan this week.
Los Angeles Rams at Carolina Panthers
Los Angeles Rams
Team: The Rams have outscored their opponents by 18.5 points per game and have a +11 turnover differential during their six-game winning streak.
QB: Since Matthew Stafford’s last interception in Week 3, he has completed 65.9% of his passes (308 attempts) and thrown 25 touchdowns.
Offense: Davante Adams has an NFL-best 12 touchdown receptions. Adams, who led the league in touchdown catches twice, had 16 total touchdowns in 2023 and 2024.
Defense: The Rams have held opponents to 10 points or fewer in an NFL-leading five games. There are four teams tied for second, each with three games, and their opponents have scored no more than 10.
Fantasy: Davante Adams has eight touchdowns from inside the 5-yard line and has as many multi-TD reception games as touchdownless contests. Puka Nacua is the volume receiver in this offense, but Adams’ unique skill set makes him a lineup lock even with limited yardage upside.
Carolina Panthers
Team: After playing the Rams, Carolina will have a bye week before finishing with two of the last four games against Tampa Bay. The Panthers are a half-game behind the Buccaneers in the NFC South.
QB: Bryce Young threw two interceptions in Week 12 against the 49ers. It was his first game since Week 1 with multiple interceptions after having six such games in his first two years.
Offense: The Panthers scored nine points or fewer in three of the last five games.
Defense: The Panthers have forced seven turnovers in the last four games, but they’ve only been able to convert them into 10 total points.
Fantasy: Tetairoa McMillan cashed in his end zone target, and that’s all you can ask for in this limited offense. He’s seen seven end zone looks over his past seven games as he continues to make the most out of a bad situation.
San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns
San Francisco 49ers
Team: After playing the Browns, the 49ers will head to their bye week before returning to host the Titans in Week 15. They finish with a visit to Indianapolis and home games against the Bears and Seahawks.
QB: Brock Purdy had the best QBi in the NFL in Week 12, marking his return against the Panthers. Purdy was able to overcome the interception to lead the league in QBi, as he posted the week’s best in Close-Game EPA/Dropback, a metric used for close games (when the game is within one possession), 3rd Down Conversion Rate, and 3rd/4th Conversion Rate.
Offense: The 49ers are 4-2 in games when they score 20 points or fewer. Coming into the season, San Fransciso was 7-40 under Kyle Shanahan when not scoring more than 20 points.
Defense: San Francisco registered a season-best DEFI (83.7, B) against the Panthers in Week 12. The 49ers are 28th in DEFi on the season.
Fantasy: That’s consecutive games where Jauan Jennings has had more targets than Rickey Pearsall has had yards. Brock Purdy is an efficient QB, and as he rounds into form, Jennings appears to have the inside track to WR1 duties.
Cleveland Browns
Team: The Browns won their third game of this season against the Raiders. They matched their 2024 win total with six games left.
QB: Shedeur Sanders QBi grade (72.8, C-) ranked 15th out of 29 qualifiers in Week 12. It’s the second-highest grade by a Browns quarterback this season, behind only Joe Flacco in Week 1.
Offense: Cleveland had the fifth-lowest OFFi (65.8 D) in Week 12. It’s the Browns’ third-lowest OFFi score of the season.
Defense: In Week 12 against the Raiders, Myles Garrett led the NFL with 92.3 EDGEi, and Isaiah McGuire was second with 90.5 EDGEi. It was a season high for both players.
Fantasy: Quinshon Judkins cashed in a pair of Wild Cat goal-line carries, and that helped overcome another game lacking in the efficiency department. That’s what he is at this point: the role is glorious, but the limitations of this offense keep the floor awfully low.
Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts
Houston Texans
Team: The Texans have the second-highest DEFi (93.1, A) this season, behind the Broncos (93.1, A). Houston has recorded a top-five weekly finish in five of the last eight weeks.
QB: Davis Mills registered a 67.7 QBi (D+) against the Bills in Week 12. He had a C- and C+ in his other two starts.
Offense: Houston graded at C or better in the last three games after posting a D+ or worse level four times in the first eight games.
Defense: The Texans have 11 interceptions while allowing only ten passing touchdowns.
Fantasy: Over the past three weeks, Woody Marks has accounted for 57.8% of Houston’s rushing yards and 67.6% of their attempts on the ground. His usage in the passing game has underwhelmed over that run (20 total receiving yards), but he’s become the focal point of this backfield at the perfect time.
Indianapolis Colts
Team: Indianapolis finishes with six games against teams currently in a playoff spot, including two games against both Houston and Jacksonville.
QB: Daniel Jones’s 71.3 QBi score against the Chiefs was his lowest of the year. It was his third straight week grading outside the top ten after seven out of the first eight games ranked eight or higher.
Offense: The Colts’ 71.6 (C-) OFFi against the Chiefs was the second-lowest score they had this season. Indianapolis still leads the NFL with a 92.1 OFFI for the season.
Defense: The Colts allowed 11 points in the fourth quarter against the Chiefs. It was the second most, only behind 14 in a Week 4 loss to the Rams.
Fantasy: The Daniel Jones season is leaking oil, but he did funnel 48.4% of his targets to his top two pass catchers. Tyler Warren and Michael Pittman were fine weekly plays, but Josh Downs (13 yards on eight targets over his past two games) is trending in the wrong direction at the worst possible time.
New Orleans Saints at Miami Dolphins
New Orleans Saints
Team: According to the PFSN Analytics, New Orleans currently has a 15.7% chance of getting the first overall pick. A loss increases the chances to 22.1%, a win drops it to 6.2%.
QB: After posting the fourth-best QBi (80.0, B-) in Week 10, Tyler Shough scored a 70.0 (C-) in Week 12 against the Falcons.
Offense: New Orleans has had a D+ or worse OFFi the last four games.
Defense: The Saints are currently at 71.6 (C-) in DEFi, which is 21st overall and New Orleans’ worst since 2018.
Fantasy: Chris Olave has 14 catches in New Orleans’ past two games, and the Dolphins have allowed four WR1s to reach 20 PPR points in a game this season. The Saints aren’t exciting, but their unquestioned WR1 can be trusted.
Miami Dolphins
Team: Miami will play the Saints and Jets after the Week 12 bye.
QB: Tua Tagovailoa has thrown an interception on one of every 4.2 attempts. His previous career low was in 2021, when he had 2.6 interceptions per attempt.
Offense: De’Von Achane is fourth in the NFL with an 86.2 (B) RBi this season. He led the NFL with a 95.1 RBi (A) in 2023.
Defense: Miami has held opponents to 13 points or fewer in three of the last four games. They allowed 27+ points in six of the first seven games.
Fantasy: Over his past four games, Jaylen Waddle is averaging 16.7 yards per catch and has seen his average depth of target (aDOT) increase by 13.4% over that run. That role can carry variance, but the Saints have ranked in the bottom quarter of the league in deep pass TD% for the majority of the season.
Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets
Atlanta Falcons
Team: The Falcons snapped a three-game losing streak with a win in Week 12. Atlanta’s postseason outlook would be much different if not for the losing streak, during which they lost three games, two in overtime, by a combined 10 points.
QB: Kirk Cousins posted a QBi score of 71.5 (C-) in Week 12, which ranked 19th in the league.
Offense: Bijan Robinson has averaged 112.7 yards from scrimmage over the last three games after averaging 427 yards per game the previous three games.
Defense: Atlanta posted their second-best DEFi score (86.2, B) of the season in Week 12. The Falcons rank 15th overall on the season for DEFi.
Fantasy: Darnell Mooney paid off your trust with a 49-yard TD, and while he only saw three targets against the Saints, the case can be made that his value is here to stay with Kirk Cousins under center.
New York Jets
Team: According to the PFSN Analytics, New York currently has a 13.4% chance of getting the first overall pick. A loss increases the chances to 21.5%, a win drops it to 5.5%.
QB: Tyrod Taylor posted a QBi score of 74.1 (C) in Week 12, which was 12th in the league.
Offense: The Jets are tied for second with four games with 11 points or fewer. The Raiders have had five such games.
Defense: The Jets (71.9, C-) DEFi this season is their lowest since 2021.
Fantasy: It’s Breece Hall or bust in New York these days. He accounted for 80% of their running back carries in Baltimore on Sunday and 33.8% of their total receiving yards. There’s no need to roster anyone else on this roster.
Arizona Cardinals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Arizona Cardinals
Team: Arizona is one loss from its fourth straight losing season.
QB: Jacoby Brissett has passed for 769 yards in the last two games. It’s the most yards in a two-game span in his ten-year career.
Offense: Arizona is one of three teams not to score at least 28 points in one game this season.
Defense: The Cardinals have allowed 112 points during their current three-game losing streak
Fantasy: Trey Benson sounds close to returning, and after non-QB Cardinals ran 17 times for 35 yards against the Jags, this is a team that could use it. Benson should be viewed as the clear-cut workhorse in Arizona when the team deems him healthy enough to be active.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Team: The Buccaneers finish with six games, with four against teams with a losing record and two games against the 6-6 Panthers.
QB: Teddy Bridgewater has not started a game since Week 17 of the 2022 season, when he was with the Dolphins.
Offense: Tampa Bay recorded an OFFi score of 61.2 (D-) against the Rams in Week 12. The Buccaneers have received a D+ or worse in three of the last five games.
Defense: The Buccaneers have graded at a D level the last two weeks against the Bills and Rams. Tampa Bay gave up 44 points against Buffalo and 34 against Los Angeles in two losses.
Fantasy: Baker Mayfield gets hurt, and Chris Godwin returns: Emeka Egbuka has hit 60 receiving yards in just one of his past six games, and the situation around him is trending away from him.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Team: The Jaguars have won three of the last four games despite having a -4 turnover differential.
QB: Trevor Lawrence has scored three rushing touchdowns in the last three weeks. He has now matched his career high of five for a season.
Offense: Jacksonville had the 13th best OFFi (74.8, C) in Week 12 after having the top OFFi (84.7, B) in Week 11.
Defense: The Jaguars have five takeaways in the last seven games after having 13 in the first three games.
Fantasy: Brenton Strange returned to action to lead the Jags in catches (five) and receiving yards (93) last week in Arizona. He may not do that every week, but thanks to the position he plays, he’s the Jaguar pass catcher with the clearest path to hitting your starting lineup.
Tennessee Titans
Team: According to the PFSN Analytics, Tennessee currently has a33.6% chance of getting the first overall pick. A loss increases the chances to 42.4%, a win drops it to 17.3%.
QB: Cam Ward has committed one turnover (fumble) in the last three games after having nine turnovers (6 interceptions) in the previous six.
Offense: Tennessee has scored three touchdowns in the first half while allowing 14 this season.
Defense: The Titans have allowed 30 or more points in five games. It’s tied for the second-most 30+ point games in the league this season.
Fantasy: Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard ran 14 times for just 24 yards, but they caught eight of 10 targets. This backfield is a mess, but it appears that this is Spears’ job moving forward, and that makes him the dart to throw if you’re forced in this direction.
Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks
Minnesota Vikings
Team: Minnesota has scored 14.0 points per game during its three-game losing streak.
QB: J.J. McCarthy recorded a QBi of 61.1 (D-) against the Packers in Week 12. His 52.5 (F) season OFFi ranks 38th out of 40 qualified quarterbacks this season.
Offense: The Vikings recorded a 60.9 (D-) OFFi in Week 12, which was Minnesota’s fourth-lowest score since 2000.
Defense: The Vikings have two tawkaways, in the last eight games, zero in the previous three games.
Fantasy: Justin Jefferson averaged 16.34 PPG with Carson Wentz under center. He is at 12.28 PPG with JJ McCarthy. According to Anthony Amico, the only quarterback since 2000 with a worse EPA per drop-back than McCarthy is JaMarcus Russell.
Seattle Seahawks
Team: After playing the Vikings, Seattle will visit Atlanta and come home to play the Colts and Rams.
QB: Sam Darnold is 6th in QBi (84.5, B) this season after finishing 15th (77.6, C+) last season with the Vikings.
Offense: The Seahawks have scored 32.8 points per game in the last four games. The only loss in that stretch was a 21-19 loss to the Rams.
Defense: Seattle ranked 10th in DEFi (78.3, C+) in Week 12, marking the seventh Top 10 weekly finish this season.
Fantasy: Kenneth Walker III saw his highest snap share of the season last week at 62%. Zach Charbonnet played just 15 snaps, handled six carries, and did not see a target. Although Charbonnet scored a touchdown, this is Walker’s backfield now.
Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers
Las Vegas Raiders
Team: According to the PFSN Analytics, Las Vegas currently has a 14.1% chance of getting the first overall pick. A loss increases the chances to 19.7%, a win drops it to 4.8%.
QB: Geno Smith’s QBi (69.1) in Week 12 ranked 23rd among all qualified quarterbacks. It’s the sixth week he’s ranked 23rd or lower this season.
Offense: The Raiders are 0-6 when scoring 16 points or fewer. It’s tied for third in games with 16 points or fewer.
Defense: Maxx Crosby’s 96.0 EDGEi is the best in the NFL. It would be the third time in four years that he has led the league in EDGEi.
Fantasy: Ashton Jeanty has failed to reach double-digit fantasy points four times this season. One of those instances came in Week 2 against the Chargers. But things are a bit different now. Jeanty has seen 26 targets over his last four games after seeing a total of 20 over his first seven. If his ankle is okay, Jeanty suddenly has a stable PPR floor.
Los Angeles Chargers
Team: Los Angeles is scoring 26.9 points per game in seven wins, while only 14.5 points per game in three losses.
QB: Justin Herbert has 20 touchdowns and two interceptions in ten career games against the Raiders.
Offense: The Chargers posted an OFFi score of 58.6 (F) against the Jaguars in Week 11. It was the second-worst OFFi score in the NFL this season.
Defense: Los Angeles held Las Vegas to nine points and forced three Geno Smith interceptions in a Week 2 win.
Fantasy: Since assuming the lead back role, Kimani Vidal has alternated games with 17+ fantasy points and sub-8.0 fantasy points. But none of that may matter if Omarion Hampton can return this week.
Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers
Buffalo Bills
Team: The Bills have lost three of their last four road games.
QB: Josh Allen has thrown nine interceptions in the last eight games. He had thrown six in the previous 20 games dating back to the start of the 2024 season.
Offense: The Bills’ OFFi in Week 12 (62.9, D-) was the second-lowest in a game started by Josh Allen. The lowest was in 2018 when Buffalo scored an OFFi of 58.3 (F) against the Packers in Allen’s third career start.
Defense: Buffalo has the 13th-best DEFi (78.0) this season after finishing 19th (72.6) last season.
Fantasy: Since 2021, Josh Allen has never gone consecutive games without throwing a touchdown pass. The last time Allen did not throw or rush for a touchdown in consecutive games was…never. Allen did not throw or rush for a touchdown last week. The Steelers allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Team: Pittsburgh finishes with three of six games against teams currently in a playoff spot, including two with the Ravens.
QB: Aaron Rodgers QBi is 27th in the league (69.5). During his career, Rodgers has had 11 seasons in the Top ten and the other five seasons 20th or lower.
Offense: Jaylen Warren’s 80.6 RBi is the highest by a Steelers running back since Najee Harris had an 81.0 RB in 2021.
Defense: The Steelers are 5-0 when allowing 21 points or fewer. Of the 16 teams that have held opponents to 21 points or fewer in at least five games, Pittsburgh is one of five teams undefeated.
Fantasy: DK Metcalf has not caught more than five passes in a game all season. We have to go all the way back to Week 11 of the 2024 season to find the last time Metcalf had more than five receptions in a game.
Denver Broncos at Washington Commanders
Denver Broncos
QB: Bo Nix has seven touchdowns and two interceptions in the fourth quarter this season. He has 11 touchdowns and six interceptions in the first three quarters combined.
Offense: The Broncos have ranked 19th or lower in OFFi in the last three games. Denver is ranked 14th in OFFi for the season.
Defense: Since the start of last season, Denver’s opponents have registered a D+ or worse grade 15 times. Only two have graded above C+, the Bengals (B-) and Ravens (B+), both were in 2024.
Fantasy:Â From Weeks 1-10, RJ Harvey maxed out at a 40% snap share in any individual game. With no JK Dobbins, he played 61% of the snaps in Week 11, but only 8.0 fantasy points. The Commanders allow the 10th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to running backs.
Washington Commanders
Team: Washington is 0-3 in November. The Commanders have not had a winless November since 2014 and only six total since 1960.
QB: Marcus Mariota has graded in the weekly top ten in QBi three times in six qualified games. His best was an 81.2 (B-) against the Raiders in Week 3. Mariota’s season rank is 16th out of 40 qualified quarterbacks.
Offense: The Commanaders have averaged 17.0 points per game during their six-game losing streak.
Defense: Washington registered a 76.2 (C) in DEFi against the Dolphins in Week 11. It snapped a streak of two straight games with an F grade.
Fantasy: Since Week 7, Troy Franklin has four games with at least 12.9 fantasy points. Courtland Sutton has one game with over 10.7 fantasy points. Franklin has out-targeted Sutton 45-34 over that timeframe.
New York Giants at New England Patriots
New York Giants
Team: According to the PFSN Analytics, the Giants currently have a 13.7% chance of getting the first overall pick. A loss increases the chances to 20.0%, a win drops it to 4.4%.
QB: Jameis Winston posted a QBi of 80.7 (B-) against the Lions, which was the second-highest in Week 12. Winston had the fourth-best QBi (80.3, B-) of Week 11 in his first start.
Offense: The Giants are 0-5 on the road when they have at least a ten-point lead.
Defense: New York has allowed 31.7 points per game during its current six-game losing streak.
Fantasy: Tyrone Tracy has 23 touches in each of his last two games. He has 150 rushing yards over that span, both coming in bad matchups. Fantasy managers will now ask him to overcome yet another one against a Patriots defense that allows the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs.
New England Patriots
Team: New England has outscored its opponents by 104 combined points in the second and third quarters.
QB: Drake Maye has 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions in New England’s nine-game win streak.
Offense: New England is averaging 26.5 points per game. They scored a total of 27 points in the team’s two losses to the Raiders and Steelers.
Defense: The Patriots have a 78.4 DEFi (12th in NFL) this season, after a 66.1 DEFi (30th) last season.
Fantasy: Just when it seemed like Stefon Diggs was morphing back into a WR1, he suddenly took a backseat to both Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte, playing over 20 fewer snaps and running 10 fewer routes than each of them. The Giants are a top-five matchup for wide receivers, though.
