The damage report popping out of Week 12 was brutal. It was not a pleasing Thanksgiving weekend for a lot of Fantasy managers.
It began Thursday when D’Andre Swift (shoulder) and Darren Waller (knee) had been harm. Then got here Sunday when Christian McCaffrey (ankle), Dalvin Prepare dinner (shoulder), Deebo Samuel (groin) and Dan Arnold (knee) all suffered critical accidents. It is not splendid with the Fantasy playoffs on the horizon.
McCaffrey was positioned on injured reserve and is out for the season, and Prepare dinner is out for at the very least two video games. Waller is taken into account “week-to-week,” whereas Samuel is anticipated to “miss a while.” Arnold is probably going out 4-6 weeks, which suggests his Fantasy season is over.
There’s an opportunity Swift may play Sunday in Week 13, however we’ll need to see what occurs throughout apply. We’re additionally maintaining a tally of different accidents to Jalen Hurts (ankle), Miles Sanders (ankle), Darrell Henderson (quad) and J.D. McKissic (neck), and hopefully all of them can play this week.
Now, it is not all doom and gloom. Alvin Kamara (knee) and Mark Ingram (knee) are trending in the appropriate path to play for the Saints in Week 13, and the Cowboys are getting CeeDee Lamb (concussion) and Amari Cooper (COVID-19) again as nicely. The Cardinals additionally may need Kyler Murray (ankle) and DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) returning in Week 13.
Nevertheless, while you lose guys like McCaffrey, Prepare dinner, Waller and Samuel for an prolonged time period, particularly with the Fantasy playoffs nearly right here, it is robust to beat. However we’re right here to assist.
There are many high quality substitute choices for you on this column to maintain your Fantasy season afloat, together with a few of my favourite choices like Taysom Hill, Boston Scott, Jamaal Williams, Sony Michel, Logan Thomas and Foster Moreau, amongst others. It is going to be a busy week on the waiver wire. So let’s get began.
