Injuries are, unfortunately, part of the NFL. This year, the injury bug has bitten all 32 teams – and a lot more fantasy teams – a bit hard.
Rams wideouts Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, along with 49ers weapons Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel are some of the high-profile names that are going to miss Week 3 and beyond. Along with them, injury questions surround Jordan Love, who is dealing with a knee injury, and Justin Herbert, who has a balky ankle.
That makes for some difficult decisions for fantasy players navigating their rosters and scouring the waiver wire this weekend and beyond, and for fans just hoping to get their favorite team’s best players back in the fold.
