This week’s injury report is a little more heavy than Week 16, but also pretty tricky, because it’s tough to tell what’s a serious injury and what’s being perceived as “we’re not playing for anything, so I’m going to rest.”
Fantasy football, Week 17: Full NFL injury report
We run down all the notable injuries in Week 17 that could impact your fantasy football team.

Many wide receivers are out this week for a combination of the two, as Antonio Brown sits out due to the calf injury he sustained against the Patriots a few weeks ago.
DeAndre Hopkins and Tyreek Hill are both out as well, though Hill’s status isn’t injury-related.
Davante Adams and Jordy Nelson are both out, as is Evan Engram.
Now, for the ones that are bonafide, serious injuries, DeMarco Murray will sit out against the Jaguars in a game in which the Titans could clinch a playoff spot.
Lastly, Melvin Gordon is questionable with an ankle injury. He has practiced multiple times this week, so he should suit up to play, but is still most likely a game-time decision.
