5 Injury-Based DFS Players for Week 17

QB C.J. Stroud ($7,800)

After missing 2 weeks in concussion protocol, Stroud returns to face a Titans defense struggling with numerous injuries on the defensive line and in the secondary. Although he's without Tank Dell, Nico Collins will be a week better with his calf injury

RB D'Andre Swift ($7,600)

Although the main Eagles' running back hasn't found the end zone much this season, he's been a consistent threat on the ground. Swift has run for 70 or more yards in 3 of the past 5 contests. He gets a plus matchup against a Cardinals defense without key run stopper Leki Fotu.

RB James Cook ($7,600)

Cook has been the go-to option for the Bills offense over the past month and gets a plus matchup against New England without Matthew Judon and starting free safety Jabrill Peppers. Last time against the Patriots he put up 17.7 points with FanDuel's scoring.

WR Odell Beckham Jr. ($5,800)

The veteran wideout is a value play with the other receiving options out or limited in the Ravens' offense. Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey is questionable for the content with lingering effects from his knee injury that knocked him out early in the season. Although Ramsey will likely play through, Beckham will have the edge and will likely be Lamar Jackson's favorite target in the game.

TE Noah Fant ($4,600)

While Fant hasn't been a consistent receiving target this season, he gets a matchup against a Steelers defense down both starting middle linebackers and both starting safeties. He could be worth a flier if you have a lineup that's top heavy.
