For most fantasy football leagues, this is it. Week 17, the penultimate Sunday of the 2022 regular season, will decide the who reigns supreme and who settles for second place.
And, like always, it’s a mess. Injuries and lineup changes have shunted the stars fantasy managers hoped could carry them to glory to the sideline. A shaky crop of running backs will be pressed into action once more. Brock Purdy will duel with Jarrett Stidham as starting quarterbacks. The Baltimore Ravens will attempt something resembling a passing game with the zombie remains of their preseason depth chart.
Navigating this minefield of injuries and late-season decisions from teams with lost playoff hopes isn’t easy. There’s still time to tinker with your lineup, remove the zeroes from your projected score, and pull an unlikely hero from the scrap heap and into a winning lineup.
Here’s who is officially in and out for Week 17’s NFL games.
