Will Reichard A Strong Option Vs. Green Bay

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard gets an unfavorable spot against the visiting Green Bay Packers this Sunday. The rookie has been excellent since returning from a quad injury in Week 14. Reichard missed a field goal that Sunday in a win over the Atlanta Falcons, but he's otherwise been perfect over that stretch -; knocking through all other 17 kicks (five field goals). The Packers' D has been solid this year, allowing the sixth-fewest points per game (19.1). Still, the Vikings' offense has been among the best in the league -; clocking in at the ninth-most points scored per outing (26.4). Reichard made all five of his kicks in the two team's first meeting and should again be afforded point opportunities in the divisional clash. He's RotoBaller's K9 in Week 17's rankings.

T.J. Hockenson An Intriguing Week 17 Play

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will get a vulnerable Week 17 meeting with his division-rival Green Bay Packers. The Iowa product produced another low catch and yardage total in Week 16 (2/27) but picked up at least five targets for the sixth time in eight games since his return from injury. Hockenson looked like he might be rounding into form early in his return but has mostly taken a backseat to wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as QB Sam Darnold's preferred targets. However, he'll square off with an exploitable Packers defense this Sunday that's afforded tight ends 13.4 fantasy points per game this season -; the eleventh-most in the league. Until he picks it up, the 27-year-old is better viewed as a back-end TE1. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR TE8 ahead of Week 17's slate.

Jordan Addison A Low-End WR2 Vs. Green Bay

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will get a staunch test this Sunday in the visiting Green Bay Packers. Addison reached just 35 yards in Week 16 but caught five passes and reeled in a touchdown -; the seventh in his last eight appearances. He also commanded another eight targets, the fifth time he's registered at least that many in six contests. The 22-year-old has really turned it on in the second half and could still set career highs across the board over the final few weeks despite missing two games earlier in the year with an ankle injury. His team will line up for a rematch with the Packers in Week 17 that's been stout on the back end -- letting up the ninth-fewest passing yards per game in the NFL (209.7). Fortunately, Green Bay will likely be without defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee), and Addison should be afforded open looks, with teammate Justin Jefferson drawing plenty of attention. He comes in at RotoBaller's PPR WR22 in this week's rankings.

Justin Jefferson An Elite WR1 Option In Week 17

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is a high-end WR1 play in Week 17 despite a stiff test against the visiting Green Bay Packers. The former LSU Tiger has been the hottest wideout in football since Week 14, ranking as the overall WR1 and averaging 29.6 PPR points per game. Over that stretch, he's racked up a robust 349 yards and 27 receptions with five trips to the end zone -; as many as he had through his first six games this season. Green Bay presents as one of the sounder defensive units against the pass and is tied for the fewest fantasy points allowed per game to WRs (29.3). Still, Jefferson is the PPR WR2 on the season and went for 6/85/1 in the two squads' previous meeting in Week 4. Fire up the 25-year-old as RotoBaller's top wide receiver option in Week 17.

Aaron Jones A Fringe RB1 Vs. Former Team

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones will square off against an exploitable Green Bay Packers defense at home in Week 17. The eighth-year veteran will line up with his former team for the second time this Sunday. In their first meeting, Jones scored a strong 17.9 fantasy points despite nary a trip to the end zone. His target totals have come down from earlier this season with the emergence of wide receiver Jordan Addison over the last few weeks. Still, the 30-year-old is averaging a healthy 18.3 touches per game. Green Bay has been a chore for opposing passing attacks this season, but they've been more forgiving to fantasy RBs. Although the Packers are affording their opponents the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game (102.5), they've allowed an average of 23.5 fantasy PPG to rushers -; a middle-of-the-road figure. Jones ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB13 ahead of this week's slate of action.
