Lamar Jackson injury updateUPDATE:Jackson did not practice Thursday.
UPDATE 2:Tyler Huntley is .
Jackson (ankle) , and he was spotted walking around with a limp, so he's almost certainly going to be limited on the ground if he does play in Week 17. We can probably expect another couple of limited practicesand a game Victor Martinez Jersey -time decision that goes down to the wire for Baltimore's matchup with the Rams. He's been a must-start for his entire career, but there's enough concern here to reasonably bench him, depending on your options.
We still have Jackson as a low-end QB1, but since the Rams have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to QBsand Jackson's rushing upside has a real chance at being capped, he's as risky as ever. Still, it will be a tough decision to sit him, so go with your gut. Tyler Huntley should probably remain on the bench, but he could have more rushing upside since he was out on the reserve/COVID list instead of a physical injury last week.

Jimmy Garropolo injury updateUPDATE: Garropolodid not practice Thursday.
Kyle Shanahan said . Willie Horton Jersey He doesn't need surgery, and his availability will likely come down to how he looks in practice. If he's having little i sue delivering the ball with accuracy, there's no reason he won't start against Houston. However, he did mi s practice Wednesday.
Houston is just a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy QBs, but since we a sume the Jackie Robinson Jersey Niners will be in scoring position often, Garoppolo looks like a top streaming option this week. Surely, a ton of people are interested in his status because of the urge to start Trey Lance if Jimmy G can't play. What Lance lacks in pa sing upside at this point in his career, he has in rushing upside. Ultimately, both guys would be ranked around the same spot in the mid-tier QB2 range, but both have QB1 upside. Lance's ceiling is higher, Spencer Turnbull Jersey but both are must-starts in two-QB/superflex leagues and are strong streamers in single-QB leagues.

Carson Wentz COVID updateWentz (reserve/COVID list) was originally going to be out for this game until the league changed its COVID-19 protocols from a mandatory 10-day absence for unvaccinated players to a five-day absence. Wentz could clear COVID protocol by Sunday morning, and Frank Riech said .

Ultimately, Wentz isn't the most attractive option to stream here because we know the offense runs through Jonathan Taylor, and Wentz becomes a pure game manager if the Colts' offense gets what it wants. He's a low-end QB2, but he always hassomeupside. There are plenty of better options, though, and fantasy owners in the championship probably won't' need his services. If he's out, Sam Ehlinger will get his first career start, and should only be played by someone who has grabbed him as a Wentz handcuff in two-QB/superflex leagues.
