Updated Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings – Sunday, 12/28 x2 – Now updated post Live Show with these moves:
Sunday 12/28, Part 1
-TreVeyon Henderson is surprisingly going to play vs. the Jets. This is the smash spot of all smash spots, so Henderson immediately explodes up into my Top-12 RBs in my Updated Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings. \
Meanwhile, Rhamondre Stevenson certainly remains playable as a Top-24 RB as well– that’s how abysmal this Jets’ run defense is. Still, he is no longer the top-15 smash we thought.
–Theo Johnson did not travel with the team to Las Vegas for the Tank-a-Thon Bowl. He’s been one of Jaxson Dart‘s favorite weapons, and his absence opens up looks for Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton, who become more enticing options vs. a Raiders defense that’s completely quit.
–Marvin Harrison is expected to play but his “snaps will be managed” according to Adam Schefter. This makes me a bit more bullish on Michael Wilson, while Harrison is completely unplayable.
Saturday, 12/27
–Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson are both OUT for Saturday’s football showdown. Both have been removed from my Updated Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings. Additionally, the Packers DST shoots up my rankings, and the Ravens become more playable. Lastly, all passing game products have fallen.
-In that same game, Josh Jacobs is practicing in full. The team will likely feed Jacobs as much as he can handle, so he’s risen a few spots. The main issue is… how much can he handle on a balky knee?
–Mack Hollins has been ruled out for the Patriots, joining Kayshon Boutte on the sidelines. Suddenly, the Patriots Pass-Catching Corps are dangerously thin in a very strong matchup. Stefon Diggs shoots up the Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings with a higher route share and target share now a near-lock– he’s been incredibly efficient all year, the usage was the lone question mark. Hunter Henry also gets a nice bump up the Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings.
–Luther Burden is off the injury report and will play in Week 17. The 49ers are one of the WORST teams against the slot, and Rome Odunze will remain out. This sets Burden up for a Week 17 smash play. He got dropped in most leagues, so if you are desperate for a flex toss-in, consider Luther Burden.
–Taysom Hill was not in my original TE rankings. I have added him as TE13 (+3 ECR) in my Updated Week 17 Rankings
+ Kyle Williams +20 – up to WR46
Thursday, 12/25
–Brock Bowers is OUT for the Raiders. He has been removed from my Updated Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings. Meanwhile, Tre Tucker and Michael Mayer should see an uptick in usage, although the offense is now even more likely to flow through Ashton Jeanty, who’s in my Top-10 RBs for Week 17.
–DK Metcalf has been suspended. I removed him from the Updated Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings, but honestly don’t trust anyone even in his absence. I did, however, bump up both Jaylen Warren and Kenny Gainwell +5 spots each. They will be the clear focal points against a Cleveland Run D that has quit.
–Dylan Sampson has been added and is a sneaky-solid RB2 play with Quinshon Judkins on the IR (assuming he plays). If not, Raheim Sanders – a favorite prospect of mine – will be in line for true featured RB duties and will sky rocket.
-Tyjae Spears was ranked too low. He’s been bumped up the Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings.
–Pat Bryant is OUT, which skyrockets Troy Franklin up the Updated Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings. Whenever he gets consistent route share, Franklin thrives, and that should be the case today.
– Philip Rivers looked much better in his second appearance, especially attacking deep with Alec Pierce. Both Pierce and Josh Dowsn received healthy bumps up the rankings.
Monday, 12/22 – Lamar Jackson DOWN, TreVeyon Henderson removed for now & more
