This could be a replacement.

Malik Willis is set to start for the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
Jordan Love has been ruled out, and in Week 17, that could have huge implications on fantasy football championship games.
There are likely other replacement options out there for Love, but in a deeper league, Willis may be the best you can do.
We're here to say he's a good choice.
Willis has completed 64.9% of his career passes and also run for 5.3 yards per attempt in his NFL career.
Those numbers are better than a lot of current QBs.
What it'll really all come down to for Willis is usage, which is hard to predict.
But when he relieved Love a week ago, the Packers weren't shy about letting Willis do a lot.
The Ravens will be starting backup QB Tyler Huntley, it appears, which means the Packers' defense might get the ball back for the offense early and often.
Baltimore has been in the bottom half allowing fantasy points to quarterbacks this season despite not allowing tons of touchdowns. The yardage the Ravens has allowed suggests that Willis will be able to move the ball.
We're not saying Willis is an automatic starter. But if he's the guy you've got to go with, it actually could work out just fine.
