Just two weeks remain in the 2021 regular season. Where has the time gone? Week 17 promises to deliver quality entertainment in abundance as several playoff-related fates and outcomes will be sorted out in rather haunting fashion. Monday night's primetime showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns serves as an elimination game for two of the league's most heated foes. The loser of that contest will officially be eliminated from playoff contention.
No team played a more impressive game offensively a week ago than the Cincinnati Bengals. Franchise quarterback Joe Burrow was in outstanding form, completing 36-of-47 passes for an unheard of 525 passing yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions. It was the fourth-most passing yards in one contest in NFL history. Burrow took full advantage of a banged-up and underwhelming Baltimore Ravens secondary while leading his Bengals to a comfortable 41-21 victory.
The Bengals could surprisingly clinch the AFC North for the first time since 2015 with an upset victory over the Chiefs. Zac Taylor's Bengals will be searching for a historic moment. The Bengals' unexpected success has provided one of the more heartwarming storylines to follow along in 2021. Look for the feel-good moments for Burrow, Taylor, and the Bengals to continue on Sunday with a division-clinching victory.
Lance rushed for a team-high 89 yards on 16 attempts in his last start way back in Week 5. On Sunday, he'll encounter a plus matchup against a Texans defense that's currently allowing 141.3 rushing yards per contest, which is just one yard off Pittsburgh's league-worst mark of 142.7. Fantasy managers who roll the dice on Lance's potential can expect a similar result and we fully expect the former North Dakota standout to rush for a pair of touchdowns while throwing another.
