Week 17 Half-PPR Running Back Rankings for Fantasy Football: Breece Hall, De'Von Achane, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, James Cook

The fantasy football Super Bowl is here! Congratulations if you are reading this and have made it this far. Week 17 comes with new injuries and challenges. We are here to guide you in setting that league-winning lineup with our NFL team's half-PPR fantasy football running back rankings for Week 17. There is plenty of running back injury news and notes for this week. Let's get right to it.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has missed the last two games with a quad injury, and it's unclear if he will be ready for Sunday's game against the Colts. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week. If he cannot suit up, look for Zamir White to lead the Raiders rushing attack for the third straight week. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is expected to be the Chiefs primary back with Jerick McKinnon (groin) and Isiah Pacheco (concussion) sidelined. Tony Pollard hasn't found the end zone since Week 13 and continues to struggle despite being the starting running back in a high-octane Cowboys offense. Below, you can see where Edwards-Helaire, Pollard, and other vital backs such as De'Von Achane, James Conner, Breece Hall, D'Andre Swift, Austin Ekeler and James Cook rank this week.

Our fantasy football running rankings for Week 17 are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.
