Jacoby Brissett's Week 17 Injury: Fantasy Impact
Hamstring Injury Casts Doubt on Availability
Jacoby Brissett, the Washington Commanders' starting quarterback, is dealing with a hamstring injury that has put his status for Week 17 in doubt. Brissett was added to the Commanders' final injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Fantasy Implications
If Brissett is unable to play, it would be a significant blow to the Commanders' offense and a potential boon for the Browns' defense. Brissett has been a solid fantasy performer this season, averaging 21.9 fantasy points per game, and he has thrown for over 2,500 yards and 14 touchdowns. Replacing Brissett would likely be Carson Wentz, who has struggled this season and would be a downgrade in fantasy value.
Monitor Injury Status
Fantasy owners who have Brissett on their roster should monitor his injury status closely. If he is ruled out, they will need to find a replacement option. Some potential waiver wire targets include:
- Carson Wentz (WAS)
- Tyler Huntley (BAL)
- Gardner Minshew (PHI)
