Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 17 Half PPR Rankings

8.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - (at CAR)
In Week 13, we thought that JSN proved he was human. However, with three straight 90-plus yard games and three touchdowns in three weeks, I'm not convinced it wasn't just a machine malfunction. This has been a ridiculous season from the third-year WR, and he is the core of this offense. In a huge game for both the Seahawks and Panthers, JSN will be relied on heavily. Even though the Panthers are solid against WRs, this is not a matchup that should scare fantasy managers.

Kenneth Walker III
RB - (at CAR)
Since Week 10, Kenneth Walker has been the RB25 in fantasy points per game, averaging 14.1 touches and 81 total yards. Among 60 qualifying backs, Walker ranks second in explosive run rate and third in missed tackle rate. This week, he's a strong RB2 again with big play potential for more. Since Week 12, Carolina has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game, the 11th-highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest rushing success rate, and the fifth-most yards before contact per attempt.

72.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - (at CAR)
Zach Charbonnet is a solid flex this week that could easily be an RB2 if he gets into the end zone. Since Week 10, Charbonnet has averaged 11 touches and 52.5 total yards as the RB34 in fantasy points per game. Among 60 qualifying backs, Charbonnet ranks 11th in missed tackle rate and sixth in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 12, Carolina has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game, the 11th-highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest rushing success rate, and the fifth-most yards before contact per attempt.

Rashid Shaheed
WR - (at CAR)
After two strong games back-to-back, Shaheed faceplanted last week with one target and zero receptions. Yes, he did score on a 58-yard punt return and had 31 rushing yards, but that's flukey production and not something that anyone should be chasing. Since Week 14, Shaheed has had a 13% target share with 47 receiving yards per game, 1.88 yards per route run, and an 18% first-read share. In those three games, he has had one red zone target and three deep targets. Shaheed could pop off with a solid performance this week, and it wouldn't surprise me. He's a viable flex play this week. Since Week 12, Carolina has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

AJ Barner
TE - (at CAR)
AJ Barner is the TE20 in fantasy points per game with five TE1 outings this season. Barner has a 13.6% target share with 30.8 receiving yards per game, 1.51 yards per route run, and an 11.9% first-read share. Barner is second on the team with 11 red zone targets while also kicking in three deep targets. Barner is a viable streaming option at tight end again this week. Since Week 10, Carolina has allowed the seventh-most yards per target to tight ends while also holding the position to the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game.
