2024 Week 17 NFL Fantasy Injury Preview

Tony Pollard: Ankle

Update: Pollard is OUT today

Tua Tagovailoa: Hip

Update: Tua is OUT today

Jaylen Waddle: Knee

Update: Waddle is OUT today

Drake London: “Knee”/Hamstring

Here’s the data to consider: re-injury rates are high and the Stud and Dud rates are essentially equal post hamstring injuries. With an 18% Week Winner rate, WRs coming off this injury are the definition of boom or bust (with a slightly higher emphasis on the bust). Players with these injuries should generally be avoided in trades or acquisitions in season-long leagues. At this point, London isn’t a must-start if he goes in Week 17.

Projected Return: Week 17-18

  • Isaac Guerendo
