The Detroit Lions will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Tim Patrick.
Is Tim Patrick Playing in Week 17?
Patrick is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play on Monday.
We’ll continue to monitor the Lions’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tim Patrick in Week 17?
The idea of Patrick made some sense seven days ago, but now that we have a picture of what this offense will look like sans David Montgomery, there’s no reason to dig this deep.
Patrick scored three times in two games but was targeted just one time on his 21 routes against the Bears last week; Jared Goff instead loaded up his stars with looks (Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Sam LaPorta accounted for 84.4% of Detroit’s targets last week).
Every week, you should be speculating on players like Patrick, who have roles that have a path to expansion. If it doesn’t happen, you chalk it up and move on.
