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.

Packers QBs Jordan Love and Malik Willis are both questionable for Saturday night.

It's in fantasy managers' best interests to plan on a non-Packers QB to start here in Week 17. If either Love or Willis are a go, they could very well be limited, which is too much risk for the Championships.

Detroit Lions inactives:
T Taylor Decker
S Avonte Maddox
G Trystan Colon
G Michael Niese
WR Dominic Lovett
DL Tyler Lacy
DL Mekhi Wingo

Related Players: Jahmyr Gibbs

We should still assume that Gibbs gets the majority of the snaps, but there's still some good touchdown equity here for Montgomery. Consider him a top-36 option for Week 17.

Commanders inactives:

QB Jayden Daniels
QB Marcus Mariota
QB Sam Hartman (emergency 3rd QB)
RB Chris Rodriguez
LT Laremy Tunsil
LB Nick Bellore
DT Daron Payne

Related Players: Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols

Do we really want to start Croskey-Merritt on Christmas with Josh Johnson at quarterback? Bill is a fine RB3 with less competition, but the ceiling is still capped.

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) has been added to the injury report and is questionable for today's game.

Do we really want to start Croskey-Merritt on Christmas with Josh Johnson at quarterback? Bill would be a fine RB3 if Rodriguez is unable to go.

Chiefs now have placed WR Rashee Rice, WR Tyquan Thornton and CBs Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson on season-ending injured reserve.

Related Players: Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster

With Chris Oladokun taking snaps this week, and potentially next, it'd be hard to trust any of these Chiefs pass-catchers in the most pivotal of pivotal fantasy weeks. Kelce can be considered a top-15 option, but not much more.

Vikings ruled out RB Jordan Mason and TE T.J. Hockenson, amongst others, for the Christmas Day game against Detroit.

Related Players: Aaron Jones, Zavier Scott, Ty Johnson, Josh Oliver

We'd like to think this would equate to a massive workload for Jones, but with no Playoff implications for the Vikings on the line, we could see a rotation with Scott and Johnson. Jones can still be considered an RB2, just closer to the RB3 fringe than the top-12.

Oliver is techincally in the TE streaming realm, but you can probably find yourself a better option on the WW.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson returned to practice today after being sidelined with a hand injury.

Related Players: Trayveon Williams, Raheim Sanders

With Jerome Ford and now Quinshon Judkins sidelined, we could end up seeing a lot of run out of Sampson if he's cleared by the weekend. The offensive environment obviously isn't perfect, but he would very much be in play as a volume-based RB3 should he suit up.

Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) limited for a second straight day, while backup Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) did not participate.

Related Players: Clayton Tune

Tune is the only other quarterback on the roster or practice squad, but if we had to guess, Love is the most likely option to take the field this weekend. If he or Willis ends up getting the start and playing the whole game, they would be in the QB2 middleground for fantasy.

The Raiders are placing star TE Brock Bowers on injured reserve today, officially ending his season, per sources.

Bowers has dealt with a knee injury since Week 1. With playoffs long out of reach, the decision was made to get it taken care of now and focus on being 100% in 2026.

Related Players: Michael Mayer

An absolutely cursed season for the Las Vegas Raiders. Mayer is closer to streaming territory over the last two weeks of the season, but there are better options on the waiver wire.
