Mitch Trubisky Has Little Week 17 Value

Zach Ertz Up In The Air For Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (rib) is expected to be questionable for Week 17 against the Giants after fracturing a rib in the Week 16 win over the Cowboys.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We can’t pretend Drew Lock is a fantasy darling, but in his four professional games as a starter so far he’s done enough to be considered a good second-fiddle and QB2 in such leagues.
