We’ve reached the penultimate week of the 2022 NFL season. Week 17 also happens to be the final Thursday Night Football matchup. Our FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 17 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know for Thursday night’s contest.

2022’s Thursday Night Football finale appears to be a mismatch. The reeling Tennessee Titans have lost five straight including an embarrassing home loss four days ago to the lowly Houston Texans.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys just knocked off the Philadelphia Eagles and are riding high as 10-point road favorites. The over/under is 39.5.

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Dallas Cowboys 8 9 7 11 3
Tennessee Titans 30 30 12 21 27

Breaking down the disparity in offensive firepower explains why the Cowboys are double-digit favorites. Mike McCarthy’s squad is a top-10 unit on both sides of the ball. The potent Dallas offense can run or pass with any team and ranks third in scoring.

Meanwhile…

Week 17. This is it. If you are reading a Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 17 article, that means you made it to the championship game. All that effort paid off. Congratulations! Only one more win to go.

Of course, there is added pressure this week. However, by in large, you don’t want to overanalyze things. Especially at this point. Stick with the guys who got you here. Use the fantasy football waiver wire Week 17 as a guide to boost your bench or if you need a last-minute injury replacement.

There are no Saturday games this week. There would be no better way to ring in the new year than with one final victory. Good luck to all!

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Tyler Allgier (RB) Atlanta Falcons – Allgeier is almost certainly rostered in your league, but if you’re in an ESPN league that’s been asleep at the wheel, the rookie back could still be on the wire. With back-to-back RB1 performances, Allgeier should be the priority add in any league that he can still be added for free.

Jahan Dotson (WR) Washington Commanders – Dotson has been one of the hottest receivers in football since Week 13. The first-round rookie has scored in three straight games. Plus, he’s averaing eight targets, 78.3 yards, and 18.8 PPR points per game during the stretch. Additionally…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 16

As the fantasy football playoffs roll on, the NFL regular season marches toward a conclusion. Both of these teams have a shot at making the NFL’s postseason, which is a nice surprise. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 16 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know for Thursday night’s contest.

The 6-8 Jaguars just upset the Dallas Cowboys and have a ton of momentum. Doug Pederson’s squad has won 3-of-4 and concludes the season with two winnable AFC South contests.

Meanwhile, the Jets have dropped three straight and 4-of-5. For New York to keep their fading postseason dreams alive, Week 16 is a must-win proposition.

New York opened as slight 1-point home favorites. This tells us Vegas thinks the Jaguars are the better team. However, wind, cold, and rain are expected to play a role in Thursday’s action.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Jacksonville Jaguars 6 10 10 6 12
New York Jets 19 15 24 20 23

Doug Pederson has restored balance to the Jaguars. Plus, Pederson has unlocked the potential in sophomore QB Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville’s offense is top-10 through the air and via the rush. But, the Jags’ 27th-ranked defense has struggled to stop the opposition’s passing attack.

However, it remains to be seen if the Jets can capitalize on that weakness. Struggling second-year QB Zach Wilson gets the starting nod

Reading a Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16 piece means you won your playoff matchup. Congratulations on advancing. Now, there are just two more wins to get.

At this point, FAAB no longer applies. Waivers are strictly a do-or-die proposition. Let’s look at the free agents you should target ahead of Week 16.

Note: 11 NFL games are scheduled on Saturday in Week 16. Only 3 games take place on Sunday.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Zack Moss (RB) Indianapolis Colts – After Jonathan Taylor exited Week 15’s loss with an ankle injury, Moss racked up 24 carries. Taylor is expected to miss the rest of the season. That puts Moss in line to lead a committee backfield. However, Moss only averaged 3.4 yards per tote and received a single target. Moss is definitely worth an add but expectations should be tempered.

Juwan Johnson (TE) New Orleans Saints – After a 2-week absence (one was a bye) Johnson housed two more touchdowns and hauled in 4-of-6 targets for 67 yards on Sunday. Johnson now ranks second among all NFL tight ends with seven TDs. He also enters Week 16 as…
