Week 17 of the 2025-26 NFL season continues with a great Sunday slate. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for the Week 17 Sunday slate.
Josh Allen More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Josh Allen should be in for another big game against the Eagles on Sunday. Allen is looking to keep the pressure on the Patriots in the AFC East. With a win this week, the Bills would still have a chance to win the division heading into Week 18. Allen has been a monster with his legs all season. He has 12 rushing touchdowns on the season, tied for the fourth-most in the NFL this season. Nine of those 12 rushing touchdowns have come in the Bills’ seven home games. In these late-season cold-weather games, Allen relies on his legs, and opposing defenses struggle to take him down. The Eagles rank 31st in the NFL in opponent rushing touchdown percentage this season. Over 55% of the touchdowns that the Eagles have allowed this season have come on the ground. Allen should take advantage of that by adding another rushing touchdown to his season total.
De’Von Achane More Than 102.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards
De’Von Achane has had another special season for the Dolphins. Last season, he had the most receiving yards of any running back in the NFL. This season, he ranks third in the NFL in rushing yards and has been a weapon in the passing game as well. Achane should be in for a big performance against a struggling Buccaneers squad. Through Week 8, Tampa Bay ranked third in the NFL in defensive EPA/rush. Since Week 9, that unit ranks 21st in defensive EPA/rush. Its run defense has fallen off a cliff, and it could be in trouble against Achane. Not only has Tampa Bay struggled to stop the rush, but it has been by far the worst defense in the league against running backs in the passing game. It has given up 53.6 receiving yards to opposing running backs this season, almost 10 yards more than the next-worst team. Achane should pick up big chunks in this game, whether on the ground or through the air.
Taysom Hill More Than 23.5 Rushing Yards
Taysom Hill had a breakout game in Week 16 against the Jets. The 35-year-old had been a non-factor all season prior to last week. He was injured to start the season, then struggled to carve out a role in the struggling Saints offense. Prior to last week, he had 91 scrimmage yards on the season. Then, last week, he had 80 scrimmage yards in a single game against the Jets. Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal were both inactive, and with no experienced running backs on the roster, Hill led the team with 12 carries. Kamara and Neal are both inactive again this week, so there is no reason to think that the Saints won’t stick with that gameplan this week. Hill was able to take advantage of a vulnerable Jets defense, but Tennessee’s unit is not much better. Tennessee ranks 22nd in defensive EPA/rush, while the Jets rank 24th. Hill should keep the positive momentum going and rush for at least 24 yards in this game.
