Sleeper's Week 17 slate highlights some key volume-based plays that smart fantasy players should lock in immediately. We are looking at a running back who has seen a massive uptick in carries and a tight end who is rewriting the record books. These picks are built on reliable usage trends and specific defensive vulnerabilities that should lead to successful outings. Here are our best picks for Sunday.

 

 

 

Tony Pollard Over 14.5 Rushing Attempts

Tony Pollard has become the engine of the Tennessee offense, averaging over 20 carries per game over the last three weeks. His 21-carry performance against the Chiefs and 25-carry day against the Browns demonstrate that the coaching staff is committed to feeding him the rock. The Saints' defense is respectable but can be worn down, and the Titans will likely prioritize the run to protect their rookie quarterback. With a line of just 14.5 attempts, Pollard only needs an average workload to hit the "Over" comfortably.

 

 

 

Trey McBride Anytime TD

Trey McBride has established himself as arguably the best tight end in fantasy football this season, boasting 10 touchdowns entering Week 17. He is coming off a massive two-touchdown performance against Houston recently and remains the primary red-zone target for quarterback Jacoby Brissett. The Bengals struggle immensely defending tight ends and rank poorly in points allowed per game. McBride’s volume and nose for the end zone make him a strong bet to score again this Sunday in what should be a high-scoring affair.
