Week 17 is here and if you are reading this, you’re likely in your fantasy championship game. We’ve had a ton of COVID-19 cases of late that have hurt many fantasy teams, but with loosened protocols, there’s a good chance we’ll have more of our top players available this week.
Injury news
Elijah Mitchell, San Francisco 49ers
Mitchell is dealing with a knee injury, but head coach Kyle Shanahan sounded a bit more optimistic about his chances to return this week.
Darrell Henderson, Los Angeles Rams
Henderson went on I.R., so Sony Michel is the lead back this week. Cam Akers could return from I.R, but we should expect Michel to lead the way until Akers is back to full speed.
D’Andre Swift, Detroit Lions
Swift returned to practice last week, but was unable to go despite being questionable. That doesn’t assure us that he’ll play this week, but should at least give him a decent chance to suit up against the Seahawks.
Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers
Ekeler has been activated from the COVID-19 list and should be a fill go in a good matchup with the Texans.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City Chiefs
Edwards-Helaire doesn’t look like he’ll be able to go this week with a shoulder injury. Darrel Williams would take over against the Bengals if that is the case.
Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles
Sanders is out for this week with a broken finger. Jordan Howard suffered a stinger last week, but appears to have a chance to play in Week 17 against Washington.
James Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars
Robinson is done for the year with an Achilles injury, so Dare Ogunbowale appears to be the next man up this week against the Patriots.
