Welcome to Week 17 of the fantasy football season. The NFL is in the midst of a COVID-19 quagmire, but have loosened protocols to all ow football to take precedence over health, as is usually the case.
Injury news
Darren Waller, Las Vegas Raiders
Waller has been out the last four games, but interim head coach Rich Bisaccia says he is hopeful he could return this week to face the Colts. He will likely need to get ramped back up into game shape, so a full workload would seem far-fetched if he can play this week.
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Kelce should be back this week against the Bengals after appearing close to returning from the COVID-19 list last week.
Marcedes Lewis, Green Bay Packers
Lewis has been placed on the COVID-19 list. If he can’t go, Josh Deguara would get the bulk of the work.
Dan Arnold, Jacksonville Jaguars
Arnold has been placed on the COVID-19 list. If he can’t go, James O’Shaughnessy would be the lead tight end.
