Justin Tucker Is An Elite Option In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker delivered another double-digit fantasy performance in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Justice Hill A Desperation Flex Option In Week 17

Gus Edwards Continues To Hold Flex Value In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards was expected to resume his role as the lead back after Keaton Mitchell (knee) went down, but he ended up taking a backseat to Justice Hill in Week 16.

Isaiah Likely Carries TE1 Value In Week 17
