Jalen Hurts is a quarterback with a high floor in Fantasy Football because of his contributions in the rushing attack. His arm has been inconsistent this year, but his ground game has been reliable, exceeding 50 rushing yards in six of his last eight games. He plays Washington this week, who he just torched two weeks ago for 296 passing yards, 38 rushing yards and three total touchdowns.

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Joe Burrow has been on fire for the last few weeks of the Fantasy Football season. Over his last four games, he has eclipsed 300 passing yards three times while accounting for nine total touchdowns. The upside that has resulted from his recent form makes him a solid option in Fantasy Football this week. He faces off with the Chiefs 25th ranked passing defense, allowing 245.7 yards per game.

Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos

Justin Herbert had a poor performance last week in a favorable matchup against the Houston Texans, but that should not be a reason to bench him in Fantasy Football this week. Prior to that game, he was on a stretch that accounted for 14 total touchdowns over his previous five games. The last time he played against the Denver Broncos, he threw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns.

Quarterbacks to avoid in Week 17 Fantasy Football.

Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Rams

Lamar Jackson is questionable to play again this week after missing his last two games with an ankle injury. Even if he plays for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17, he should still be avoided in Fantasy Football. He has failed to account for multiple touchdowns in nine of his 12 games this year and hasn't scored a rushing touchdown since all the way back in Week 2.

Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks vs. Detroit Lions

Russell Wilson has been disappointing this year for the Seattle Seahawks and for Fantasy Football. The last time he accounted for more than three touchdowns in a game was all the way back in Week 1. He has also only eclipsed 300 passing yards in one game this entire season. Wilson can be avoided for the remainder of the Fantasy Football season.

Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers

Kirk Cousins has been struggling a bit lately. After throwing just two interceptions in his first ten games this season, he has now thrown five interceptions in his last five games. He had success the last time he played against the Green Bay Packers, but they are still a tough matchup in Fantasy Football. They are the 10th ranked passing defense this season, allowing just 216 yards per game.
