Week 17 PPR Rankings: WR

Week 17 PPR Rankings: WR image

PPR fantasy football owners will need to keep an eye on news about Julian Edelman's knee injury throughout Week 17. It could swing fantasy football championships if the Patriots decide to take it easy on Edelman and roll out some rookie wideouts like N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers against the Dolphins. Meyers, in particular, could play a prominent role in our PPR WR rankings if it turns out Edelman is hurting, but if not, it's of course Edelmanwill have a big PPR day against Miami.

There aren't too many wide receiver injuries to be concerned with in Week 17. The two big ones are Chris Godwin (who we'd expect to miss out and isn't ranked right now) and D.J. Moore, who was concussed in Week 16 and remains in our rankings for the time being. Godwin's continued absence would bode well for Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson, while with Will Grier at QB a Moore absence doesn't really help Curtis Samuel that much.

WEEK 17 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

We'll also be keeping an eye on Nelson Agholor's health this week. With Greg Ward Jr. proving to be very talented, he's a strong PPR sleeper this week as long as Agholor (knee) remains out. You could also count on Russell Gage as a PPR sleeper against the Buccaneers this week. 

As the week goes on, we'll also be monitoring teams that plan on resting players due to their end-of-season results being locked in, either in the playoffs at the top end or with nothing to play for at the bottom end of the standings. If things need to be changed to account for that, especially in regard's to Baltimore's pass-catchers, we'll have those changes below as they present themselves.

WEEK 17 PPR RANKINGS:
Running back | Tight end

Another fun thing to keep an eye on is Michael Thomas' reception total. He's already passed Marvin Harrison's single-season receptions record, but maybe the Saints just send a ton of targets his way in hopes of expanding that record into untouchable territory.
