"It's never easy for those owners still on the grind in Week 17. Minor injuries can cause players to sit out, the best teams often rest their players and the bad teams can use their finale as a chance to get a look at younger players.
As we get set for Week 17, we'll have our eye out for 2012 prospects.
Of course, the Rotoworld News Page will be humming all Sunday morning to bring you official word on all your injured players ahead of kickoff. And to make sure you're prepared, read every word of these rankings from Gregg Rosenthal/Chris Weaseling.

OK, let's get to the hurt/resting folks:
1PM GAMES
JETS at DOLPHINS
* Reggie Bush (knee) is out. Daniel Thomas (knee) is a go and suddenly a candidate for 20 touches.
* Anthony Fasano (concussion) has been cleared and will play.
BILLS at PATRIOTS
* Tom Brady's left (non-throwing) shoulder issue is not a real concern. He'll be fine in a game the Patriots need to win to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
* Wes Welker (knee) expects to play all four quarters.
* Deion Branch (groin) appears to be in the same shape he was last week.
* Dave Rayner (groin) is out. Brandon Coutu will kick for the Bills.
TITANS at TEXANS
* Chris Johnson (ankle) is ready to go and says he's feeling much better this week.
* Andre Johnson (hamstring) will return, but is only expected to play a half at most.
COLTS at JAGUARS
* Dallas Clark (neck) is expected to play in what could be his last game as a Colt.
* Maurice Jones-Drew (ankle) is fine. He'll be motivated to protect his status as the league's leading rusher.
REDSKINS at EAGLES
* Roy Helu (toe) is expected to play, but may rotate with Evan Royster.
* LeSean McCoy's ankle is not a major concern. He's going after the rushing crown."
