TE Cade Otton, S Antoine Winfield Jr. and WR Sterling Shepard are all OUT for Bucs in Week 17.

Related Players: Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, Devin Culp, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller

Fantasy Impact:

Shepard shouldn't impact the rest of the team's target share too much, while none of these tight ends need to be considered.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins on track to play Week 17

Jeremy Fowler

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (questionable, ankle/knee) improved every day in practice and there's optimism he can play Sat. vs. Broncos, barring new development, per sources.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Mike Gesicki

Fantasy Impact:

Iosivas is a fine deep-league WR5 if Higgins misses, and Gesicki would be firmly in the TE streaming streets, but Higgins typically plays when "questionable" this season. Consider Higgins a WR2 if he's on the field.

Cardinals RB James Conner "trending in the right direction" for Week 17

Cardinals RB James Conner (questionable, knee) is 'trending in the right direction' for Saturday vs. Rams, per source.

Related Players: Trey Benson

Fantasy Impact:

Benson also seems likely to play, which presumably leaves the rotation intact for Saturday. Consider Conner an RB2 if he's cleared by kickoff.

Eagles QB Kenny Pickett likely Week 17 starter with Jalen Hurts in concussion protocol

QB Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol and head coach Nick Sirianni expresses doubt he'll be playing Sunday. Kenny Pickett the likely starter, as has been expected.

Fantasy Impact:

Pickett can be left on waiver wires in all but the deepest SuperFlex leagues, while the pass-catching corps takes a bit of a hit. A.J. Brown should still get plenty enough work to be considered on the WR1/2 fringe.
