RB Ronald Jones II, Buccaneers @ Jets ($6,300). It was tough seeing Ke’Shawn Vaughn steal a possible scoring alternative from Jones final week — though, it was a pleasant little run.

WR Jaylen Waddle, Dolphins @ Titans ($6,700). Waddle continues to dominate targets and present a nostril for the top zone.

WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions @ Seahawks ($6,000). St. Brown has actually taken off in latest weeks. Since Week 13, he’s delivered three 23.0-plus Draftking-point performances.

FLEX (RB) Boston Scott, Eagles @ Soccer Crew ($4,900).

WEEK 17 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Operating again | Broad receiver | Tight finish | D/ST | Kicker
DEF Dolphins @ Titans ($2,800). The Titans, merely put, aren’t a scary offense. Not statistically, not on paper, not by most different measures one would contemplate. Apart from A.J. Brown, there’s no person on this roster who strikes worry into defenses. If the Dolphins can sluggish Brown — and that’s admittedly a big “if” — they need to be capable of wreak some havoc on Sunday.
