Alvin Kamara, Bryan Bresee, Cesar Ruiz are out.

Related Players: Audric Estime, Evan Hull, Taysom Hill

This profiles as another Swiss army knife kind of day for Taysom Hill, who could legitimately have 10-15 opportunities and a potential pass attempt or two. There are a lot of good TE streaming options this year, but if you're looking for a very solid floor play out of your tight end spot, Hill could be one of the best pieces to win a Fantasy Championship with.

Packers announce QB Jordan Love has been ruled out (shoulder/concussion) for Week 17. Malik Willis expected to start.

The raw passing volume will be down, which takes all Packers pass-catchers down a peg, but Willis is still an interesting streamer for deep/SuperFlex leagues due to his legs. Consider him somewhere in the QB15ish range.

49ers are listing TE George Kittle and WR Ricky Pearsall as questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Bears.

Related Players: Jake Tonges, Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson

Jennings has really come along over the last month-plus so we should still expect him to be a very solid fantasy asset, whether Pearsall is in or not. As for Kittle, we need to have a contingency plan since they don't play until Monday night. Colston Loveland would be a fantastic option on the other sideline if he's available.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is out again Sunday.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Luther Burden, Olimade Zaccheaus, Jahdae Walker

A separate report confirmed that Burden would be suiting up this weekend, but we'll see how big of a role he'll take on. He should be considered in the WR3 range, while Moore has seen enough of an uptick in usage that we can treat him as a fringe WR1/2.

Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. suffered a groin injury during today’s practice, and the team wants to see how he feels this weekend before deciding whether he can play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Browns also have ruled out TE David Njoku for Sunday’s game due to a knee injury.

Terrible news for Fannin managers, as he looked to be in a great spot against a Steelers defense ranking 28th in TE aFPA. Hopefully we get some clarity heading into Sunday, as he should be a locked-in volume-based, top-10 option if he's near 100%.

WR Kayshon Boutte, WR Mack Hollins, OLB Harold Landry, LB Robert Spillane, DT Khyiris Tonga and LG Jared Wilson are all ruled out for Sunday, according to Mike Vrabel.

RB TreVeyon Henderson and WR Pop Douglas are questionable, per Vrabel.

Related Players: Rhamondre Stevenson

This makes things tough for fantasy managers setting lineups ahead of Saturday's games, but it's doubtful we get more information prior to Sunday morning. As it stands, Henderson *should* be a great RB2 play against the Jets, but you have to hedge your bets a little bit if you're in a start/sit conundrum with one of the backs playing Saturday.

If Henderson ends up missing Week 17, Stevenson would be a great RB2 play in his stead.

49ers John Lynch on KNBR:

George Kittle likely a game-time decision Sunday night on if he can rush back from MNF ankle injury to face Bears

Related Players: Jake Tonges

Phew, this is a rough one considering it's the final game of the Fantasy Championships. The safest play is likely to find a TE streamer you can plug in, but if you want to roll the dice with Kittle, make sure you have either Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, or Jake Tonges on your roster. We would rank them in viability in the order listed.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said "the soreness has dissipated" and said QB Josh Allen should play without any limitations vs. the Eagles. Allen has been dealing with a foot injury.

It's a tough matchup against this Eagles defense, but we would still expect Allen to use his legs when necessary, even with that lingering foot issue. Conisder him a top-10 option in the Fantasy Champtionship.

Will McDonald and Mason Taylor are out this week, Aaron Glenn said

Related Players: Jeremy Ruckert

Ruckert will slide back into the "TE1" role, but that's more of a TE4 in fantasy. He can safely be kept on waiver wires.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful for Saturday night’s game at Green Bay. If Jackson cannot play, Ravens QB Tyler Huntley would start.

A season of lingering injuries is culminating in bad timing for both fantasy players and the Baltimore Ravens alike. If Jackson is sidelined, Huntley can safely remain on waiver wires.
