Jordan Love

GB Quarterback #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Packers “are expected to rest key players” in Week 18 against the Vikings.

The Packers secured a playoff spot by beating the Ravens yesterday. They are locked in as the No. 7 seed with no ability to move up in the order. Jordan Love missed Week 17 with a concussion and Josh Jacobs has been playing through knee issues for most of the season. Christian Watson recently suffered a chest injury and has been playing through it as well. The list goes on and on for the Packers, as it does for most teams at this point in the season. With nothing to play for in Week 18, expect those three players and several others to get the week off as Green Bay prepares for a Wild Card Round game.
Tetairoa McMillan

CAR Wide Receiver #4

Tetairoa McMillan (illness) is questionable for Week 17 against the Seahawks.

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington later reported that McMillan didn’t feel great when he arrived to the stadium. He is, however, expected to play. Fantasy managers will still need to watch the Panthers’ inactives when they drop 90 minutes before kickoff. Jalen Coker would be in line for more work if McMillan is inactive.
Travis Kelce

KC Tight End #87

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Travis Kelce will “take some time after the season” to consider retirement.

This is not a surprise, but it does help us set a timeline for when Kelce might make his decision. It doesn’t sound like we will know whether or not Kelce is done anytime soon. Rapoport noted that Kelce will not play for a team other than Kansas City if he chooses to keep the cleats on for another season. Kelce is an impending free agent, but he and the Chiefs should have no issues working out a one-year deal to give him a final ride if that’s what he wants. If not, a Week 18 date with the Raiders will be his last game.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Lamar Jackson (back) could be back for Week 18 against the Steelers.

Rapoport’s graphics team wrote that Jackson was “likely” to play in Week 18, but the man himself didn’t go that far. For now, we will consider him questionable for the Ravens’ upcoming date with the Steelers. Baltimore needs the Steelers to lose today to stay alive in the AFC playoff hunt. It’s hard to imagine Jackson missing a play-in game next week if that does happen. Things could change if the Ravens are eliminated by a Steelers win later today.
George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports George Kittle (ankle) is “highly unlikely” to play in Week 17 against the Bears.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports this morning that Kittle will test out his ankle in warmups. While that may still happen, all signs point to the superstar tight end getting Week 17 off. Jake Tonges will draw the start in his place. Tonges is a low-end TE2 for the final week of the fantasy football season. Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall should also see an uptick in targets with Kittle sidelined.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) is “likely to play” in Week 17 against the Bears.

Pearsall logged three limited practices this week before being listed as questionable. He has been dealing with the knee issue all year and the ankle injury on top of that certainly hasn’t helped. Pearsall’s return couldn’t have come at a better time with George Kittle expected to miss Week 17. With targets up for grabs in the 49ers offense, Pearsall will be a high-risk WR4 versus the Bears.
Ashton Jeanty

LV Running Back #2

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Ashton Jeanty will play in Week 17 against the Giants.

Jeanty isn’t dealing with any injuries right now. The Raiders are simply tanking so effectively that Schefter felt the need to mention he won’t be getting the day off. Vegas has already shut down Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby. Both players had been playing through their respective injuries for weeks. The Raiders’ game versus the Giants today will determine the No. 1 overall pick, making Week 17 the perfect time for the team to put the pair of star players on ice. With no injuries of note this year, the Raiders couldn’t find a reason to do the same for Jeanty. Coming off a 188-yard, two-score explosion in Week 16, Jeanty is back in our RB1 good graces versus New York.
Marvin Harrison Jr.

ARI Wide Receiver #18

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) will play in Week 17 against the Bengals, but his snaps will be managed.

Harrison Jr. played through the heel issue last week. He was on a pitch count for that game as well, taking the field for 29-of-47 offensive snaps. MHJ was largely subbed out on running plays. He still logged a route rate of 79 percent. The biggest change in the offense with his return was the decline of Michael Wilson, who had been putting up WR1 numbers in MHJ’s absence. Wilson was relegated to field-stretching duties, though he did manage to find the end zone on one of his two grabs. MHJ is barely a WR5 after seeing just three targets last week. Wilson isn’t much higher in the ranks, having also seen three looks in Week 16.
Josh Jacobs

GB Running Back #8

Josh Jacobs rushed four times for three yards in the Packers’ Week 17 loss to the Ravens while adding one catch for zero yards.

Jacobs was off the injury report after dealing with knee and ankle issues in previous weeks, but whether it was due to those ailments, a faltering offensive line or a great effort from the Baltimore front — likely a combination of all three — the 27-year-old tailback was able to get nothing done. The Packers have nothing to play for in Week 18 against the Lions, so no one should be surprised if it is Emmanuel Wilson (3/16) who gets most of the touches in that contest.
Christian Watson

GB Wide Receiver #9

Christian Watson caught 5-of-6 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ Week 17 loss to the Ravens.

Watson scored on a 39-yard connection with Malik Willis on the Packers’ first drive of the game. The two made a few more connections in the contest in a solid effort where Watson didn’t appear to be bothered by his shoulder or the illness he picked up earlier in the week. Watson and the Packers get a game with essentially zero playoff ramifications against the Vikings in Week 18 to end the regular season.
