NFL Week 17 is the penultimate week of the regular season, but just as importantly delivers the championship week in the majority of fantasy leagues. It all comes down to these final games and, unfortunately, there are a lot of injuries to navigate this week.
Before diving into our fantasy football rankings this week, we’ll note some of the injuries. At quarterback, Lamar Jackson (back), J.J. McCarthy (hand) and Jordan Love (concussion) are uncertain to play in Week 17. Meanwhile, running back Quinshon Judkins is lost for the season and TreVeyon Henderson is in the concussion protocol. That just adds to the growing list of players already sidelined by injuries.
