In case you have not been paying attention over the past few days, this is the week 17 quick

rankings update and injury report. If you want the full list of injuries, I'll have them updated 90 minutes

before the Saturday games at 444.com. You can hit that link down in the description right now.

Plus, I'll be sending out my newsletter later on Saturday evening for all of the Sunday games, just in case something changed. Let's get to those Saturday games to start Kamani Vidal. He's leaning out, but there's still a chance that he plays against the Texans. It's not that you want to play Kamani Vidal in this matchup. The issue would then become a Marianne Hampton, where is he going to get 25 touches in the game? If Vidal is out, if Vidal is back, is it like 15-5, 15-10, whatever it might be? Hampton's a great play in a tough matchup, albeit if Vidal is out, however, if it's a split, you got to bump him down outside the top 20 in your championship matchup. Woody Mark's expected to go on the other side. He is the Texan you want to play out of that backfield.

Enjoy the unders on Nick Chubb in this game unless Marks gets hurt again with that ankle problem, but he is expected to be in against the Chargers both. Very good defenses in this game. In the other game, Lamar Jackson, not playing Snoop Huntley is playing downgrade everyone, except maybe Derek Henry, who should, we'll see, be leaned upon to get a few more touches this time around out of the backfield, especially on the ground. I don't see Snoop Huntley checking it down too often. He's either going to run or hand the ball off. Jordan Love is out for the Packers with a concussion. Malik Willis is expected to start, although he did come into the week with a shoulder injury, so we'll see how that goes. One bad hit, and all of a sudden, Clayton Tune is in the game. The Packers have already clinched a playoff berth, so we'll see what they do with a lot of their injured players that if they give them some extra runs or not. That is what's happening in the Saturday games. For Sunday, Alvin Kamara is out. For the Saints, expect to see a lot of Taysam Hill like we saw last week. Out of the backfield, the receiving game, throwing some passes, a pretty decent top 10 option at tight end if you need one. Trevian Henderson was expected to be out this week. Then all of a sudden,

on Friday, he shows up with a non-contact jersey off. He might play on Sunday. So all of the people that were scoured the waiver wire to see if Ramadre Stevenson had been dropped in their

league, got him, were fired up. He's a top 10 option against the Jets. Well, now all of a sudden he might be back in a split situation with Henderson. There's still not a 100% chance that he is playing as of this recording. Again, sub to the free newsletter in the description. And I'll have extra details once I know them, once they get released. If they get released, maybe it's a Sunday situation that we're looking at,

but work under the assumption that he might be playing this week that you could be ending up using them.

I'd rather play Henderson than play Stevenson, obviously.

But if there is no Henderson, Stevenson is a must-start all formats.

Dylan Sampson for the Browns could return as well.

Obviously, Judkins is out for the year with that broken leg.

And Travion Henderson or Trayvion Williams, sorry, out of the back hill is just going to catch pass. I know it's a hand injury for Sampson.

I think that he gets the run over Sanders. I think he gets a lot of the receiving work. I think he's a pretty good play against a Steelers team that has relatively little to play for. They've got their four spot locked up that as long as they win this game, that yeah, the defense is going to be playing. It's a tougher run defense now. But out of the backfield receiving, Samson could be the guy getting 20 touches here as long as he is back to full health. We're not going to know that. So you have to bump him down a little bit.

Again, just outside the top 20 at running back this week.

Receivers, Rumba Dunesay is out.

Luther Burden expected to play.

This week, Burden is the secondary option to DJ Moore.

I bumped down Colson Loveland in the tight end rankings with the return of Luther

Burton.

Both Moore and Burden, pretty decent play. and Loveland in the tight end rankings with the return of Luther Burton, both more and

burden, pretty decent plays.
