Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 17 Half PPR Rankings
|
16.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - (at TEN)
After all the shade thrown Etienne's way in the draft season, he has been one of the best RBs in fantasy. Sitting as the RB7, he has had over 12 fantasy points in all but four games this season. With Baysul Tuten recovering from a hand injury, Etienne will continue to dominate touches. This week, they face the Colts, whose defense was embarrassed by the 49ers last Monday Night. The Jaguars are rolling and should be able to have their way in this matchup. Etienne remains a RB1 to close out the season.

Chris Olave
WR - (at TEN)
Olave is the WR6 on the season. After being labelled a disappointing fantasy player, limited by the Saints' offensive environment and multiple concussions, Olave has exploded back onto the fantasy scene. Plus, Tyler Shough looks surprisingly functional and has a clear connection with the fourth year wide out. Last week, the two connected on 10 of 16 targets for 148 yards and two scores. This gives Olave four touchdowns in his last four games. Now he faces the Titans in the fantasy finals, who have turned into a pass funnel. Being able to limit the ground game, the Titans don't have an answer for Olave. If you have been riding one of the best draft day values, he should come up in spades when you need him most this week.

Audric Estime
RB - (at TEN)
Audric Estime was the Saints' lead back last week, and he'll reprise the role again this week. Unfortunately, the starting role didn't amount to much for Estime last week. He played 57.7% of the snaps with only eight touches and 36 total yards. Taysom Hill essentially operated as the team's "real" starting running back. Last week was essentially "it" if Estime was going to pay off as a flex play. Sit him this week. Since Week 12, Tennessee has allowed the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, and the tenth-lowest missed tackle rate.
