THE GREY REPORT: Week 17

Ryan Tannehill – – Sounding like this could be his last game as a Dolphin and you do have to worry they might give others a look. With a tough match-up, it may be wise to explore other options.

Kenyan Drake – – Could be another week of a three-headed RB, so probably best to look at other options.

Kalen Ballage – – We shall see how carries breakdown this week, but hard to trust the rookie.

Brandon Bolden – – Likely will see some touches, but still hard to count on his services.

Kenny Stills – – Still too inconsistent to consider him much of an option, especially against a good pass defense.

DeVante Parker – – Continues to disappoint, so it is likely in your best interests to look at other options.

Danny Amendola – – Has his moments, but the good times have been very rare and with a tough match-up, he will be too risky to start, especially with a tweaked knee.

Brice Butler – – Move along please as there is no fantasy value to be found here.

Mike Gesicki – – The rookie is still not producing much, so you should strongly consider your other options.

Jason Sanders – – The offense has been up and down and will have their hands full against a good defense, so it may be best to look at other options.

Miami Dolphins – – Have struggled often to produce, but they could benefit from facing an inconsistent offense, so could be worth a look.

Josh Allen – – Continues to be a hit or miss option, but a nice match-up at home could give him a chance to put up some solid numbers, but doesn’t have a ton of upside.

LeSean McCoy – – Has a good match-up, but the Bills may be looking to the future to get Ford some more action to show his wares. Could pay off, but is a risky play.

Chris Ivory – – Dealing with an injured shoulder, but likely won’t get enough touches to consider him a viable option.

Keith Ford – – The rookie could see more touches to show what he can do with an eye on the future, but still a risky play.

Zay Jones – – Still too inconsistent to justify giving him a shot.

Deonte Thompson – – His production continues to be lacking, so probably best to look at other options.

Ray-Ray McCloud – – Not doing enough to consider him much of a fantasy threat.

Robert Foster – – Has shown flashes and could surprise thanks to a solid match-up, but still hard to feel good about his chances of helping your cause.

Charles Clay – – Appears that his time in Buffalo is over.

Jason Croom – – Still not being used enough to justify starting.

Steven Hauschka – – The offense has been up and down, though a good match-up could help lead to some chances.

Buffalo Bills – – The defense has had some good days and faces an inconsistent offense, so they could be worth giving a shot.

Sam Darnold – – Coming off a huge game, but continues to be an inconsistent option. A good match-up could help him get the job done.

Elijah McGuire – – Should be busy, though faces a solid run defense which will add some risk, but he could pay off if you need to give him a look.

Trenton Cannon – – Doesn’t seem like he will get enough touches to justify fantasy consideration.

Quincy Enunwa – – Likely out with an injured ankle and even if he can play, probably not worth the risk.

Robby Anderson – – Coming off a big game as he has started to get it going and has a good match-up, so worth riding again to see if he can stay hot.

Jermaine Kearse – – Still not someone you should be trusting, so continue to search, especially since he is dealing with an Achilles’ injury.

Charone Peake – – No fantasy value to be found here, so move along please.

Andre Roberts – – Still not doing much, so continue to forget about him.

Chris Herndon – – The rookie is coming off a nice game and has a solid match-up, so while he is an inconsistent option, he could pay off.

Jason Myers – – The offense has been coming on, but could struggle to finish drives and be forced to settle for FG attempts.

New York Jets – – The defense has had some good days, but against a good offense they will likely struggle to get the job done.

Tom Brady – – A good match-up at home in a must win game should make the veteran a good starting option once again.

Sony Michel – – Coming off a big game as the Patriots returned to riding his legs once again. Add in another good match-up and should remain a good starting option.

James White – – Coming off a nice game and has a good match-up to exploit, so should have a good chance to help your cause.

Rex Burkhead – – Needs to see more touches before he is considered a worthy starting option.

Julian Edelman – – Coming off a big game and the loss of Gordon should help his cause and with a nice match-up, he should be worth another start.

Chris Hogan – – Still too inconsistent to feel good about his chances.

Cordarrelle Patterson – – Still too reliant on rare touchdowns, so hard to justify giving him a shot.

Phillip Dorsett – – Still a rare big play or nothing, so hard to trust.

Rob Gronkowski – – Coming off a goose egg, but he is always capable of going off and does have a nice match-up.

Stephen Gostkowski – – The offense should be able to move the ball and get him scoring chances.

New England Patriots – – The defense has its moments and faces an offense that has been hit or miss.

Dak Prescott – – A nice match-up should help, but who knows now much he will be used with the Cowboys not needing to win. Risky play, but does have some upside.

Ezekiel Elliott – – A good match-up should help, but watch his status closely as the Cowboys could rest some guys, even though they are currently talking like they was to go full bore. If they get a lead, he could sit late to be on the safe side, which might cap his ceiling.

Rod Smith – – With the Cowboys in the playoffs, they could rest Elliott some, which could help Smith. But unless they sit Elliott, not worth the risk.

Jamize Olawale – – Maybe he gets some touches to spell the others, but he has no real fantasy value.

Amari Cooper – – Has cooled off, but does have a solid match-up. Though he does have some risk as the Cowboys could decide to rest some players.

Cole Beasley – – Just too up and down to feel confident with him in your starting lineup.

Michael Gallup – – The rookie is still not producing often enough to feel good about his chances, even though he did find the end zone last time out.

Allen Hurns – – Still not involved much, so move along please.

Geoff Swaim – – Placed on injured reserve with an injured wrist.

Blake Jarwin – – Just not expected to contribute much, so keep looking.

Brett Maher – – Should see plenty of scoring chances, which should make for another good week to ride Maher.

Dallas Cowboys – – The defense has some players and facing an inconsistent offense, though they could rest some starters at some points. But the match-up makes them worth a shot.

Eli Manning – – Will the Giants look at Lauletta at all with an eye on the future? Could benefit from the Cowboys possibly resting guys at some point, but he is still hard to count on.

Saquon Barkley – – The rookie has been strong this season and while he faces a good defense, his upside remains too good to pass up.

Wayne Gallman – – Still not involved much, so continue to look at other options.

Odell Beckham – – Looking like he will miss the finale with that injured quad, so watch his status. If he can go, it may be in a limited fashion, though he can still get it done. Guessing you will need to look at other options.

Sterling Shepard – – Battling an injured hip, so he could be limited, so it might be wise to play it safe with another option, even though he could have some upside against a team with nothing to play for.

Russell Shepard – – Dealing with an injured ankle, but still not worth starting, even if he can play.

Bennie Fowler – – Continues to be a useless fantasy option, so please keep looking.

Corey Coleman – – No fantasy value to be found here, so continue to search for help.

Evan Engram – – Coming off a strong game, but he has struggled more often than not, so hard to trust him. But he is capable of helping your cause if you need to give him a shot.

Aldrick Rosas – – The offense has been too inconsistent to feel good about his chances, even though he could be the main scoring threat if they have success moving the ball.

New York Giants – – The defense continues to struggle fantasy wise, so probably would be wise to look at other options.

Matthew Stafford – – Fighting an injured back and has been in a funk of late. Add in the iffy match-up and it may be best to look at other options.

Zach Zenner – – Blount and Riddick will likely steal some touches (Though if Blount can’t go, that could help his cause and maybe he could surprise). Still hard to count on this inconsistent option.

LeGarrette Blount – – A knee injury could limit him, or force him to sit out, so may be best to look at other options, even though he is capable of finding the end zone at any time.

Theo Riddick – – Should see touches, but likely not enough of them to consider him a viable option.

Kenny Golladay – – Dealing with a chest injury and with nothing to play for, they could play it safe. It may be best to play it safe with another option, especially since he has a tough match-up.

Brandon Powell – – Still not producing enough to justify a start, especially with a poor match-up.

T.J. Jones – – The iffy match-up won’t help his cause, so remains a poor fantasy option.

Bradley Marquez – – Still not on the fantasy radar, so continue to look at other options.

Luke Willson – – Still not on the fantasy radar, so continue to explore your options.

Matt Prater – – The offense has been in a funk, but he could be the main scoring option, though still can be tough to trust.

Detroit Lions – – The defense has flashes, but on the road against a good offense, it may be best to look at other options.

Aaron Rodgers – – Coming off a monster performance (Where was that most of the season, especially the 1st week of the playoffs, not that I’m bitter or anything and even with a less than ideal option, he is worth a shot to see if he can stay hot.

Jamaal Williams – – Coming off a nice game and has a solid match-up to exploit, so should be able to help your cause.

Kapri Bibbs – – Likely won’t be used much, so not worth your time.

Davante Adams – – Coming off another strong performance and even with an iffy match-up, he remains a must start option. Keep an eye on that injured knee, but he expects to be good to go.

Randall Cobb – – Dealing with a concussion and could sit out again, though does look like he could be back. If he can go, is capable of paying off, but still a risky option due to his inconsistent production.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling – – Injuries should help the rookie get his share of looks, so even with an iffy match-up, he could be worth a roll of the dice.

Equanimeous St. Brown – – Coming off a solid game, but still hard to count on his services, especially since he is dealing with a concussion and could be out.

Jake Kumerow – – Showed flashes last week, but still can’t be trusted.

Jimmy Graham – – Coming off another disappointing game and has struggled to produce most of the 2nd half of the season. Faces a good pass defense, but he did have a solid performance in the previous meeting. Still a risky play.

Mason Crosby – – The offense is coming off a big week and facing an inconsistent defense, though one that could force them to settle for some FG attempts.

Green Bay Packers – – The defense has been hit or miss, though could benefit from facing an offense that has had some issues of their own.
