Week 17 Packers vs. Ravens Start 'Em Sit 'Em Picks feat. Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Malik Willis

The 7-8 Baltimore Ravens are set to face the 9-5-1 Green Bay Packers in Green Bay, and the stakes could not be higher. Both teams face disastrous consequences with a loss. If Baltimore loses, the team's season is over. Meanwhile, if Green Bay loses, it takes the team one step closer to finishing as the seventh seed.

Of course, with the fantasy championship also taking place this weekend, fantasy football managers have their own added stress for the affair. To help set your mind at ease, Sportskeeda has put together a fantasy football guide to the contest.

Both running backs are likely to see plenty of added carries in the contest as a result of both Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson being expected to miss the game. Both defenses will stack the box, but both backs are good enough that it might not stop them for four quarters.

Additionally, if you need a defense, either unit should avoid disaster in the contest without Jackson and Love. You can also start Mark Andrews at tight end or Romeo Doubs as a flex player this week.

Must Starts

• Josh Jacobs
• Derrick Henry
• Romeo Doubs
• Mark Andrews
• Packers D/ST
• Ravens D/ST

Avoid both quarterbacks. Both defenses are strong enough that both quarterbacks might be held under 150 passing yards and without a passing touchdown. As such, don't expect too many multi-level reads from either quarterback.

Meaning, in the case of Baltimore, avoid depth receivers on both sides like Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. Bateman has just 18 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns this year, which indicates you should avoid him on that alone. Hopkins is in a similar boat with 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns as well. Avoid both receivers.

Isaiah Likely, stuck below Mark Andrews on the depth chart, isn't expected to have a dominant game by any stretch, either.

Avoid Luke Musgrave and Christian Watson for the Green Bay Packers. Musgrave is still looking for his first touchdown reception of the year and has as many games with one catch as 2-4 catches in the last six games. Watson is once again on Green Bay's official injury report with an illness and a shoulder injury. With the receiver missing practice on Friday, save yourself the stress and look elsewhere.

Must Sits

• Tyler Huntley
• Malik Willis
• Luke Musgrave
• Isaiah Likely
• Rashod Bateman
• DeAndre Hopkins
