Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlooks

George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) is "highly unlikely" to play against the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football in Week 17, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Kittle had been listed as questionable, and while he was expected to be a game-time decision, it seemed like he was trending in the wrong direction after missing all three practices this past week. He has been the overall TE2 since Week 8, so his absence will be felt among fantasy managers and the 49ers.

As most leagues host their fantasy championships this week, managers should look for replacement options ahead of time. There are plenty of waiver-wire or bench options who play in the afternoon windows of games. Managers who want to wait until Kittle is ruled out tonight could pivot to Jake Tonges (Sunday night) or Colby Parkinson (Monday night).

Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) should be available for this weekend's road meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. For the second week in a row, Harrison could only practice in a limited fashion while he battles a nagging heel issue, and he was ultimately deemed questionable. Per Schefter, the second-year pro will again have his snaps managed by the team.

It's unfavorable news for fantasy managers, as Harrison commanded just three targets (1/14) in Week 16's loss to Atlanta, while recording his second-lowest snap share of the campaign (51%). Furthermore, it's unclear if the Ohio State alum has come any closer to full health, considering his unchanged practice regimen. Even in an excellent matchup, Harrison ranks only as a mid-range WR3, with his playing time difficult to decipher.

Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) is expected to be a "full go" for Sunday's clash with the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The rookie picked up a groin injury during practice on Friday, causing him to log a limited session ahead of Week 17's home outing. Fortunately, it appears that Fannin will be without limitation, despite garnering a questionable tag. As it stands, he's set for another sizable target share against Pittsburgh, considering teammate David Njoku (knee) will miss a third straight appearance with a pesky knee injury.

In addition to a favorable role, the Steelers have been an excellent matchup for fantasy TEs, yielding the third-most points per game to the position (17.11). Fannin leads all Browns' pass-catchers in targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike is beginning to become a bigger piece in the offensive game plan. Dike didn't have much of a receiving role early, but has been one of the better pass-catchers in Tennessee down the stretch of the season. The rookie wideout has scored three touchdowns over his last five games.

He has finished with three or more receptions in four of those contests. Dike will head into a tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints defense. A unit that has allowed the third-fewest receiving yards to wideouts this season. The Titans' offense is difficult to trust, but Dike could offer FLEX appeal in deep leagues for Week 17.

Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is in the middle of a strong stretch of play. Pollard has rushed for over 100 yards in three straight games. During that span, Pollard has totaled 367 yards with three touchdowns. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17.

A defense that has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards to running backs this season. The only downside is that Pollard is expected to continue splitting the carries with Tyjae Spears. Given Pollard's success, he figures to continue getting plenty of chances. Fantasy managers should consider Pollard a low-end RB2 for this favorable Week 17 matchup.
