Another weird result:
LA Chargers (8-6) away to Houston (3-11): 29-41

Another interesting fact:
In wk.18 the Dolphins are at home to the Pat.s. If the Dolphins win they will overtake the Pat.s in the standings. The Pat.s may, although it is unlikely, miss the post-season.

Any quick thoughts on which teams are less likely to be resting players the next week or so? In a pickle here and there, QB the priority.
It's still too early to tell.
No team has a guaranteed post-season ranking, even teams guaranteed at least one post-season game.
E.G.
AFC: Either KC or Tennessee could win the #1 ranking in the AFC. If KC win this week they will win the #1 and so may rest players in wk.18. But they need to win this week.
NFC: Any one of four teams may win the #1 ranking in the NFC. All need to win this week.
If they do then:
GB still needs to win wk.18. If they don't and Dallas does then Dallas will become the #1 seed as it has the better conference win-loss record.
TB won't be able to take the #1 seed so are likely to rest players in wk.18
the LA Rams won't be able to take the #1 seed either but need to win to stay ahead of Arizona in the NFC West - assuming Arizona can beat Dallas. If Arizona lose to Dallas then the Rams are likely to rest players in wk.18.

I hope this makes some sort of sense to you. If I had the computer skill I'd do you a logic tree tracing all the if-then lines.

Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said he has some optimism that Waller(knee/back) will able to take part in Wednesday's walk-through practice in some fashion, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Bisaccia made his comments after receiving feedback Monday from trainers, who worked with Waller while he rehabbed at the team's facility. Waller's pair of injuries have prevented him from practicing in any capacity since he exited early in the Raiders' Thanksgiving Day win over the Cowboys, with the star tight end missing each of the four games that followed. Due to the length of his absence, Waller likely will need to put in at least of few days of practice activity this week to have a realistic shot at suiting up for Sunday's game in Indianapolis.

Come on Waller 🙏🤞

Hmmm, always a concern starting a player after coming back from Covid.

Tyreek Hill was reportedly experiences serious fatigue in practice on Wednesday after spending Week 16 on the Covid list. (James Palmer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:
Hill has a matchup against the Bengals in Week 17. Although, if he is still experiencing side effects from COVID there is a shot that he may either be on a limited snap count or miss the game entirely. However, there are still a lot of time between now and Sunday for him to recover. Keep a close eye on his practice reports the rest of the week.
