The Green Bay Packers will host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Luke Musgrave.
Is Luke Musgrave Playing in Week 17?
Musgrave is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Packers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Musgrave in Week 17?
The 26-yard grab was a nice highlight and gives Luke Musgrave a splash play (20+ yards) in three of his past four, but given that he’s earned five targets in a game just once this season, it’s clear that the Tucker Kraft role was more Tucker Kraft and less role.
With a 77.4% catch rate this season and some downfield ability, there is something there in this profile, but probably not on this roster when it’s at full strength.
The efficiency gives him a chance to slide into the top 12 conversation this week, if for no other reason than if he can get to that five-target threshold, that a four-catch day gives you a chance to matter at the position. That and the fact that Green Bay is playing meaningful football is important.
That said, you’re still taking on significant risk, and I’m not sure the reward is worth it. Musgrave is sitting outside of my top 12 this week and thus not a priority play by any means.
