Navigating the Week 6 Injury Hayes

Wading Through the Murky Injury Waters to Provide a Roadmap for Handling Your Team's Injury Situations

Navigating the Week 6 Injury Hayes

As we enter Week 6, I would like to thank the Fantasy Gods for not taking anyone's ACLs, PCLs, MCLs, or any other Cls from players last week. Fantasy stars remained intact, and with it, the hopes of many fantasy managers pursuing fantasy championships. While we saw some players get a little banged up, nothing major crept up on us, with the exception of the Jalen Hurts' blood clot news. We'll get into that a little later. Whatever sacrifices everyone made to appease them, please keep it up!

Last week was also a relatively good week for start/sit advice. Ladd played, but he was someone I recommended sitting. You, the reader, saw as many snaps as Ladd did last week. Jeanty put up a modest performance, but it didn't hit the ceiling managers have come to expect from Jeanty. Stars like Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Zay Flowers, all of whom appeared in last weeks article, showed out and rewarded managers handsomely. The one big miss was Tee Higgins; if you played him, he left a sour taste in your mouth. Otherwise, things went smoothly for people who took the advice found in last week's edition!

The time for victory lapping is short lived, and it's time to get back to business. I like to provide some level of accountability by mentioning both the wins and losses provided each week. With that being said: Grab your gear; it's time to enter into the Injury Hayes!

🔴Red Light: Already Out, Seek Other Avenues🔴

Baker Mayfield - Tampa Bay Bucs

Baker is out again because of a dislocation in his right thumb he sustained in Week 3, paving the way for rookie Jaylon Daniels to command the offense. Jaylon hasn’t done much in the passing game, throwing for less than 200 yards in both of his starts this season, and only throwing one TD in each.  He was able to finally get Emeka Egbuka going a bit in Week 5, peppering him with nine targets, which turned into a season high six catches.  While Daniels doesn’t provide much through the air, he does have a decent rushing floor, making him a solid QB2 option in superflex leagues.  

In single-QB formats, I’d be looking at other options.  Head Coach Todd Bowles said it’s “too early to tell” if Baker will be able to suit up in Week 7 for a bout against the Panthers.  For those that don’t roster Baker who are thin at QB in superflex, and particularly in dynasty, this is a solid time to reach out and acquire him for the back half of the season.  

Bottom Line
Unfortunately, Baker owners will have to wait at least another week to throw him in lineups.  The offense could be rough going forward until he returns.  Eguka and Bucky Irving are the only serviceable players in this lineup.  Temper expectations for Egbuka.

Jalen Hurts - Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts was dealing with a calf injury before being shockingly marked as OUT on Thursday due to a superficial blood clot.  He was place on IR this afternoon, and according to Dr. Ryan Schreiter, a clinical orthopedic and sports medicine physician at Temple University, Hurts could be facing a 6-12 week recovery period.  This is just par for the course for the Eagles, a team that has been bludgeoned by injuries across multiple position groups, including offensive line and running back, and now to their Super Bowl MVP signal caller.  For more information on this injury, see the post below from Dr. Ribu Thomas on X:

Hurts hasn’t played up to his standards this season, but some of that can be attributed to the multitude of injuries across the board.  Saquon Barkley has been on and off the field, WR1 Devonta Smith has missed multiple games, and the O-Line has been decimated by injury and retirements (Lane Johnson announced his retirement in Week 5).  In his place, fourth-year QB Tanner McKee is expected to start.  Fifth-round rookie Cole Payton will be the backup, and Joe Milton was just added off the Cowboys’ practice squad.  The season is in-flux for this Eagles team and the nails are slowly being hammered into their coffin.  If they continue to struggle, we could see a QB carousel to close out the year.  If you’re looking for an immediate replacement to Hurts, especially in a superflex league, Tanner is your guy.  Looking down the line though, Cole Payton could be intriguing because of his rushing upside.  For those in single-QB leagues, look to high-volume passers like Jameis Winston or Jacoby Brissett to replace Jalen.

Bottom Line
An already bleak situation gets even bleaker in Philly.  I wish Jalen a speedy return to health. In the meantime, we hope either Tanner McKee or Cole Payton can spark the offense.

Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens

Lamar has already been ruled out due to an ankle injury suffered in Week 4, and is set to miss his second straight game.  Tyler Huntley will once again lead the Ravens’ offense, this time on the road against Cleveland. 

In Week 5, Huntley was good for both the Ravens and for fantasy teams, throwing for 201 yards and two TDs, while adding 20 yards and a TD on the ground.  His rushing ability makes him a viable option in superflex, and could be a desperation dart throw in single-QB formats.

Bottom Line
Hopefully you already have your replacement on the roster, and you have a strong enough lineup to weather the storm until Lamar comes back.  If I were a betting man, I would put my money on Lamar returning in Week 7.  Stay the course, and just try to survive.

Breece Hall - New York Jets

Breece is set to miss his third straight game due to a quadricep injury.  Breece wasn’t put on IR, so the Jets initially expected he would miss less than 4 weeks.  I would anticipate Breece returning next week based on that timeline, but the situation is still worth monitoring.  Braelon Allen figures to take the bulk of the carries again, with Isaiah Davis coming in to spell him on occasion. 

Bottom Line
Breece still remains out, and is week-to-week going forward.  Not much of an update for this situation unfortunately. 

David Montgomery - Houston Texans

Montgomery will miss at least Week 6 due to a groin injury.  He didn’t practice at all this week, and remains week-to-week going forward.  In his place, second year back Woody Marks projects to handle the bulk of the workload out of the backfield.  Groin injuries can be tricky, so be sure to keep tabs on this situation next week.  

Bottom Line
Montgomery was already a pretty suspect starting option, and was unable to keep Woody Marks off the field as many had hoped.  Should Woody fill in admirably in Monty’s absence, this backfield could become a cluster.  Woody doesn’t have the best matchup this week against the Jags, but volume is king, and he should see plenty of it.  

Eagles Backfield

This backfield is an absolute wasteland.  Saquon Barkley has already been ruled out because of a hamstring injury, Tank Bigsy is on IR because of a core injury, and Will Shipley is out and has been placed on IR due to a partial tear of his plantar fascia in London in Week 5.  That leaves Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as the only healthy bodies in the backfield.  Jaydon Blue could also be elevated to the main roster.  

Bottom Line
I want no part of this backfield.  Pierce figures to be the top option in the running game, but with the injury plague that has infected this offense, I don’t have high expectations for him.  He does at least get a decent matchup against Carolina, so maybe he can stumble into the end zone and have a decent output for fantasy.  The Eagles’ offense has equated to a preseason lineup thus far, and has produced as such. 

Jeremiyah Love - Arizona Cardinals

The third-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft is set to miss his first game since joining the pro ranks.  Love has been hampered by an ankle injury in recent weeks, and is finally getting some time off to heal. Jeremiyah has been able to play through the injury, so I don’t suspect it is anything serious.  However, given the lack of competitiveness from the Cardinals this season, they’re doing the right thing and not risking further injury.  They need Love to be healthy long-term, and can afford to sit him a few games to ensure he returns to 100%.  Tyler Allgeier will step in as the workhorse back, and is a decent option for RB-needy teams.  

Bottom Line
Jeremiyah is out for at least this week, and as a distance bystander, I hope he remains out until he is back to full strength.  Love has the ability to be special, and I don’t want to see that potential ruined because he was pushed to play through an injury in a meaningless season.  Nothing is official, but it would be wise to prepare like he’ll miss multiple weeks.  Allgeier should be your main target.

Kyle Monangai - Chicago Bears

Monangai is once again set to miss action due to his turf toe injury sustained in Week 4.  D’Andre Swift will see the bulk of the work out of the backfield, with some support from Roschon Johnson.  Monangai remains week-to-week, and will have another chance to return to the lineup in Week 7 against the Patriots.

Bottom Line
Continue to monitor his status going forward.  For those that need a replacement option, turn to backs like Woody Marks, Tyler Allgeier, or Dameon Pierce.  These aren’t needle-moving options, but they are set to hold down their respective backfields due to injuries ahead of them.

Deebo Samuel - San Francisco 49ers

Veteran WR Deebo Samuel has already been ruled OUT for this week’s game against the Commanders due to a hamstring injury.  Because the 49ers play Monday, the early diagnosis prevents managers from being in a last-minute scramble to replace him in lineups.  With Mike Evans’ status up in the air, wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing could be heavily utilized in the 49ers’ passing game.

Head Coach Kyle Shanahan said Deebo would be an IR candidate, but avoided the designation due to their Week 8 bye week.  This implies Deebo is unlikely to return until Week 9, so managers will need to find an alternative in the meantime, some of which have been mentioned already.

Bottom Line
Deebo is set to miss multiple weeks.  Head to waiver and look for Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, Wan’Dale Robinson, or Germie Bernard as fill-in options.

Rashee Rice - Kansas City Chiefs

Rashee suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4, and despite having a bye week to rest up, he was unfortunately ruled OUT for the Chiefs’ Week 6 clash against the Chargers.  This will be a situation to monitor, as Rashee remains week-to-week.  The WR core will now be headlined by Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, and off-season dynasty darling Cyrus Allen.  Some other receiving options to consider if you need to replace Rashee are Germie Bernard, Wan’Dale Robinson, or Brandin Cooks (if Mike Evans is out).  

With Rashee out, I expect a heavy dosage of running back Kenneth Walker III on the ground and tight end Travis Kelce through the air, with some Xavier Worthy gimmicks mixed in. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is still a start, just with some lowered expectations.

Bottom Line
Prepare for the worst with Rashee.  He could be back next week, but now is the time to fortify the WR room via the waiver wire or trades in the event he misses multiple games.

🟡Yellow Light: Questionable, Proceed with Caution🟡

Caleb Williams - Chicago Bears

Caleb enters the weekend with a questionable tag due to a “horrendous” hamstring injury sustained in Week 2.  It’s a miracle he’s even remotely close to returning.  He practiced in full this week, so I would be shocked if he isn’t back in the lineup.

Given his reliance on scrambling to extend plays, he may be slowed by any lingering effects of the hamstring injury.  However, I’m still starting him if he plays.  Hopefully his return to the lineup can help boost the likes of Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, and Colston Loveland.  The pass catchers have been disappointing thus far, but perhaps this marks the turnaround for them.

Bottom Line
Start him if he’s playing.  Should he sit, keep an eye on whether Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum gets the start.

Commanders Backfield

Jacory Croskey-Merritt has already been ruled out, and Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) both enter the weekend with a questionable tag. Neither Ekeler or White expect to miss time, however.  Both could be flex plays with some TD upside in Week 6, though it is hard to predict who will get the work in the red zone.  Because Rachaad has been on the team all season, I would imagine he slots in as the teams top back, and he would be the one I’m putting my faith in if I need a last minute option.  

Bottom Line
If you need to dip your toes into this backfield, I wish you luck.  Rachaad would be my guy if I had to plant my flag.

Quinshon Judkins - Cleveland Browns

Judkins comes into the weekend with a questionable tag due to an ankle injury.  He was in a walking boot after Sunday’s game, but will reportedly attempt to give it a go this week.  This’ll be a situation worth monitoring heading into Sunday’s game.  Fellow RBs Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders are already on IR, so if Judkins ends up sitting, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime figure to carry the backfield load. Check out what Dr. Ribu Thomas had to say regarding Judkins' injury situation:

Even if Judkins plays, I’m not excited to start him.  His performance has been pretty uninspiring thus far, save for a 21-point explosion in Week 4.  I hardly want to start him when he is healthy, and if he’s entering the game limited, then I’m just avoiding him. I’d rather start some of the other options already discussed in this article.

Bottom Line
I’m only starting him if I’m desperate, and in that scenario, fingers crossed he can provide a double digit point total for only the second time this year.

Rico Dowdle - Pittsburgh Steelers

Like Keenan, Rico has also been a familiar face in the Injury Hayes, and appears to have finally overcome his toe injury that has sidelined him since Week 3.  He practiced in full this week, which puts him in line to participate in the action in Week 6.  However, he still enters the weekend with a questionable tag.  Given the full practices, I would be shocked if he didn’t suit up.

Regardless of his injury situation, I’m still benching Rico.  Jaylen Warren has been phenomenal and projects to still be the main back in Pittsburgh.  Rico may play sparingly to give Warren a breather, but he likely won’t get the workload required to put together a serviceable statline for fantasy.  For those needing an RB fill-in for bye weeks, injuries, or out of pure desperation, look to guys like Woody, Marks, Tyler Allgeier or Dameon Pierce. These are two guys that project to get the bulk of the opportunities in their respective backfields.

Bottom Line
Look elsewhere if you need an RB.  This is Jaylen’s team now.

A.J. Brown - New England Patriots

AJ Brown hasn’t seen game action since Week 1 due to an ankle injury.  Fantasy owners can rest a little easier knowing he is closer to returning and has been removed from IR.  He still enters with a questionable tag, but I expect him to suit up.

He immediately slots in as the top option in the passing offense, and with Drake Maye seemingly back to his former self, the return couldn’t come at a better time.

Bottom Line
You’ve waited long enough; get Arthur Juan back into your lineup!

Chris Olave - New Orleans Saints

There’s nothing major to report here.  Olave has been questionable with an illness all week.  All signs point towards him being on the field and resuming his role as the WR1 in a pass-heavy offense.  There’s nothing to worry about here until a report comes out indicating he’ll miss the game.

Bottom Line
Start him.  No in-depth analysis needed here.

DJ Moore - Buffalo Bills

DJ Moore practiced in a non-contact jersey Friday, per Nick Suss of ESPN, and enters the weekend with a questionable tag due to a shoulder injury.  If he does end up playing, I wouldn’t anticipate he gets a full workload.  He’s been dealing with this injury off and on all season, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the Bills choose to sit him another week with a bye week on the horizon.

For those needing a replacement, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman will once again lead the receiving room.  I’m not excited to start either, though Keon has caught a TD in back-to-back games without Moore in the lineup.  He could be a high-upside flex play for those in a pinch.

Bottom Line
I’m benching him even if he does play.  The shoulder is clearly susceptible, and I don’t want to deal with a lightened workload.  Seek other options.

Ja’Kobi Lane - Baltimore Ravens

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, it’s no secret that I loved Ja’Kobi Lane coming into the season.  Not surprisingly, I was devastated when Lane went down in Week 1 with a fractured wrist.  I cried myself to sleep for days.  However, the time has come for Lane to return to action, and it could come as early as this week.  He's been activated off the IR, and will more than likely suit up this week for Baltimore.

Lane is a risky start given the injury to Lamar Jackson, and the overall uncertainty surrounding his role.  It remains to be seen how much volume he’ll see in this offense, and I’m not counting on Tyler Huntley to feed him.  

Bottom Line
While I’m excited for his return, I’m not immediately thrusting him back into my lineup.  I want to understand his role better before relying on him every week.

Terry McLaurin - Washington Commanders

Scary Terry continues to be limited by a hamstring, and he is questionable heading into the weekend.  His limited participation in practice is likely precautionary, and I don’t anticipate managers will be without Terry in Week 6.  Should Stefon Diggs miss another game, Terry could be in line for a sizable workload.

Keep an eye out for any late announcements, but I don’t see any reason to bench him.  Washington plays Monday, so I would look to add Brandin Cooks to ensure there is an emergency backup option in place, especially if Mike Evans sits out for San Francisco.

Bottom Line
If he’s playing, start him.  Washington will need to score points to be San Francisco, and a banged up RB room could lead to a pass-heavy script.

Tyler Warren - Indianapolis Colts

Tyler Warren is questionable because of a groin injury heading into Week 6.  Per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis, Warren came up lame after a red-zone rep on Friday, resulting in a limited practice.  Keep an eye out for any additional reports on this.

If Warren plays, he should remain in fantasy lineups.  He leads the team in targets and is an integral part of the passing game.  If he misses, WRs Keenan Allen and Josh Downs would likely be the beneficiaries and see more targets.  Mo Allie-Cox is second on the team’s depth chart at tight end, so he would also see some extra snaps.  Mo has been a mainstay on the Colts because of his 6-foot-5, 267 LB frame that makes him useful in the red zone.  In an absolute pinch, he could be a TD dependent replacement.

Bottom Line
If he suits up, play him.

🟢Green Light: Expected to Play (no tags)🟢

Michael Penix Jr. - Atlanta Falcons

Penix injured his ribs in Week 5 against the Ravens, and even missed the last drive of the game because of it.  While he’ll likely be playing through some pain, he is off the injury report heading into Sunday, and he is expected to start against the Bears, per NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.  

This news is bigger for Drake London owners than it is Penix owners.  London is clearly Penix’s favorite target, leading the team in targets in every game that Penix has played in.  Penix isn’t an exciting option, but has some superflex appeal in what could be a high scoring game.

Bottom Line
Penix is startable in superflex formats, but I wouldn’t expect anything more than middling QB2 numbers.  Drake London owners can fire up their guy again and expect him to be showered with targets.

Ashton Jeanty - Las Vegas Raiders

Jeanty popped up on the injury report last week due to a foot injury.  Despite this, he still suited up and gave owners a modest day, providing 10.70 fantasy points off 16 opportunities.  He has practiced in full all week, and enters the weekend without an injury designation.  The Raiders host the Bills this week, who are fresh off a Week 5 performance in which the defense surrendered two rushing TDs to the duo of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum.  The duo also combined for nine receptions.  Jeanty could be in for a big day this week.

Bottom Line
Start him.  No questions asked. 

Ceedee Lamb - Dallas Cowboys

Ceedee owners got a scare last week when their stud WR missed some time in the 2nd half of Dallas’ Week 5 matchup against the Buccaneers.  He was a full participant in practices this week, and per Jon Machota of The Athletic, Lamb is “feeling better” and isn’t expected to have any limitations heading into Week 6.

Ceedee sits as the WR2 on the season despite a rough outing in Week 5, and should be a staple in your lineups.  That last part isn’t exactly groundbreaking analysis, but sometimes the obvious needs to be stated. 

Bottom Line
Start your superstar wide receiver unless your goal isn’t to win in Week 6.  If that’s the case, still start him for the health of your league.  Always put your best lineup out there.

Denzel Boston/KC Concepcion

Both halves of this sensational rookie duo enter the weekend without an injury designation and will see the field in Week 6.  Denzel was limited this week with a foot injury, while KC has been in concussion protocol after taking a blow to the head from Minkah Fitzpatrick.  Both practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday per FantasyPros, and should carry no injury concerns into this week’s contest against the Ravens

Denzel and KC are undoubtedly the top options in the Browns’ wide receiver room, and will continue to get the bulk of the targets from signal-caller Deshaun Watson.  Denzel has been more productive than his rookie counterpart, seeing seven targets in three of his five outings, and finding the end zone three times.  Neither have been particularly efficient with the targets they’ve received, but when Boston hauls in a catch, it is likely going for big yardage.  He’s had over 15 yards per catch in every game this season.  

Bottom Line
Start Boston with confidence.  He’s had an outstanding season to this point, and is the guy the Browns rely on for explosive plays.  He’s startable until he gives us a reason to bench him.

I’m a little more skittish on KC.  He’s gotten targets; he just hasn’t done anything useful with them.  With only one game over double digits, I need to see more from KC before I confidently throw him in lineups.  Seek out other options if you have them.  

Devonta Smith - Philadelphia Eagles

Devonta Smith is finally off the injury report, having battled a hamstring injury over the last few weeks.  The Eagles’ WR1 logged a full practice Friday, and is slated for a full workload Sunday, barring any unforeseen setbacks or developments.  For more information on his injury outlook, check out this great post from Dr. Ribu Thomas:

Smith will return to his role as the top receiving option in what has been a dysfunctional offensive operation, and it doesn’t appear to be getting any better.  With seemingly every Philly running back injured, the Eagles may need to switch to a pass-heavy scheme.  He’ll be catching passes from backup Tanner McKee in this one, and figures to be hyper-targeted by the fourth-year quarterback.  

Bottom Line
Devonta returns and gets a juicy matchup against Carolina.  Put him back in your lineups, and say a few prayers that Tanner can deliver the ball consistently to Devonta.

Jalen Coker - Carolina Panthers

Cokeheads rejoice, for your Lord hath returned!  Coker picked up a quadricep injury in Week 3, and has missed the last two weeks because of it.  However, per FantasyPros, he practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday, and enters the weekend with no injury designation.  

Coker saw nine targets in each of his first two games, and was well on his way to another high-volume output before leaving Week 3’s contest.  Coker has had a reliable connection with quarterback Bryce Young, and figures to slot back in as the 1B WR alongside Tetairoa McMillan.  He faces an Eagles’ secondary that just got scorched by Parker Washington, so he could very well hit the ground running in his return.

Bottom Line
Start this man.

Keenan Allen - Indianapolis Colts

Keenan has seemingly been a staple of this article, and I’m glad to announce that he’s finally off the injury report heading into the weekend!  As I’ve said before, he’s not highly profiled in the wide fantasy landscape, but because he’s been mentioned before, I like to follow up for all the Keenan owners and Colts fans out there.  Allen appears to have fully shaken off his groin injury, and only missed practice this week due to rest, per Rotowire and FantasyPros.  

Keenan is a decent flex option in deeper leagues, scoring 9+ points in three of his four outings this season.  The Colts host the Titans this week, and given how bad the Titans have been, this could be a game where the Colts get out to a lead early and lean on their workhorse Jonathan Taylor to ice the game away.  With Tyler Warren dealing with a groin injury, there could be an extra target or two that heads Keenan’s way.

Bottom Line
Startable in deep formats or in times of desperation.  It’s hard to predict what sort of volume he’ll receive, but at least he has a soft matchup.

Ladd McConkey - Los Angeles Chargers

Ladd is off the injury report, having fully recovered from a foot injury that has been ailing him.  Despite being active last week, he didn’t see the field.  Hopefully no one out there got burned by that.  

Ladd enters the weekend free of an injury tag, and should be able to see more than 0% of snaps.  However, the Chargers have an awful matchup as they travel to Kansas City.  An awful matchup for an awful offense likely means bad things for Ladd, right?  It is the NFL, and sometimes weird things happen.  I’m comfortable starting Ladd in my flex.  The Chiefs have a solid defense, but he could benefit from some garbage time production.  If good things don’t happen for the offense this week, I’ll officially be out on all things Chargers.  This week will be the last straw.

Bottom Line
You likely used substantial draft capital to draft this guy.  Plug your nose and start him.

Zay Flowers - Baltimore Ravens

Zay popped up on the injury report the last couple of weeks with a toe injury, but has been in no real danger of missing time.  He played last week and was on the field for 82% of snaps, his highest snap share of the young season.  All signs point to a similar participation level in Week 6.

The only thing potentially holding Zay back this week is his quarterback play.  With Lamar Jackson out, Tyler Huntley will once again lead the Ravens into battle.  Huntley played in Week 5, and he made sure to pepper Zay often.  Zay saw nine targets and caught eight, churning out 53 yards in the process.  It was a modest day given some of Zay’s performances this season, but managers will take a 14-point day any day of the week.  

Bottom Line
Start him, but maintain realistic expectations.  The ceiling is lowered slightly until Lamar returns.

Final Thoughts

To summarize this week's report:

Start (if playing): Caleb Williams, Ashton Jeanty, Rachaad White, AJ Brown, Ceedee Lamb, Chris Olave, Denzel Boston, Devonta Smith, Jalen Coker, Ladd McConkey, Terry McLaurin, Zay Flowers, Tyler Warren

Sitting if I can help it (even if healthy): Michael Penix Jr, Austin Ekeler, Quinshon Judkins, Rico Dowdle, DJ Moore, Ja'Kobi Lane, KC Concepcion, Keenan Allen

Already ruled out: Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Breece Hall, David Montgomery, Jeremiyah Love, Kyle Monangai, Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, Deebo Samuel, Rashee Rice

Injuries to our star players can derail even the strongest of fantasy teams.  While we can’t prevent them, we can do our best to give ourselves multiple options to prepare for the worst case scenario.  In fantasy, it is better to be proactive and not reactive.  If you’re reacting after players are marked OUT, you’re likely going to be too late in acquiring the best possible replacements for your lineup.  Be diligent: roster your handcuffs so you’re prepared for any situation, collect depth pieces throughout the year, and stay in-the-know by taking in all the amazing content found on angleranks.com, and also by giving @Ribu18 a follow on X!

May your players stay healthy and be showered with touchdowns!  If you enjoyed this, be sure to follow @TheDynastyCafe on X for more fantasy related content.  Also, feel free to reach out for any roster related questions as the season goes on!
