It’s Week 17; for most of you, it’s your Championship Game. Let’s dive into some important situations for you to be aware of heading into this weekend’s action.
Many fantasy managers who survived with an early injured Jalen Hurts will be on full lookout this week. Hurts suffered a concussion, which puts him into questionable territory for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. While Kenny Pickett kept the offense afloat against Washington, it could be tougher with a Dallas defense that has played better in recent weeks. This could lower the upside of AJ Brown and Devonta Smith while boosting Saquon Barkley‘s carries in Week 17.
Another situation to watch is James Conner, who suffered an injury in Week 16. The coaching staff said it is a wait-and-see for the veteran running back playing on Saturday this week. That means who could see Trey Benson (Maybe unlikely due to his injury) or Michael Carter see FLEX value in a solid matchup against the Rams this week. The Cardinals may also lean on the passing game, and Murray could lead the team in rushing.
Drake London is another name on the injury report after leaving in Week 16. This could help Darnell Mooney or Ray-Ray McCloud jump up in the rankings if London were to miss this game against the Commanders on SNF.
We have some players that should be able to bounce back this week. Courtland Sutton, Tyreek Hill, and Mike Evans all have fantastic matchups against poor secondaries in Week 17.
Without further ado, it’s time for this week’s version of The List!
