It’s hard to have a worse week for injuries from key players in the fantasy football era than Week 2 of 2020.
Getting the general selection of drafts is a blessing. This season was a curse as Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley were injured on Sunday. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
McCaffrey’s ankle sprain will keep him out for 4 to 6 weeks, while Barkley’s torn anterior cruciate ligament will throw him out for the rest of the season. They are two holes to fill in your groups (real and fantastic), but at least there is still a lot of time in the season to rotate in another direction.
Recommended offers a $100 loose agent acquisition budget (FAAB) for the season.
RB Mike Davis, Carolina Panthers ($55). David gets the most sensible place here because he’s McCaffrey’s undisputed replacement in an offensive designed around a bachelor feature. Fortunately, Davis can handle the dual duty of hastening/receiving that McCaffrey assumed, but not to the same degree. McCaffrey fell, Davis put in eight passes for 74 yards and ran the ball once for a yard. If you have lost one beginner ball carrier, getting someone else to fill it, even if it’s only for a month, is a top priority, so competitive bidding.
RB Jerick McKinnon, San Francisco 49ers ($ 30). The Niners injured Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman on Sunday, putting McKinnon in the spotlight. Despite only thirteen offensive shots, he had a 55-yard run and a 16-yard landing run between his 3 carries. (He also had a landing reception in week 1. ) Even when Mostert and Coleman return, McKinnon will still have value.
RB Darrell Henderson, Los Angeles Rams ($25). An injury to Cam Akers gave Henderson much more than he saw in the first week while recovering from a hamr tendon injury. The rookie scored 12 times for 81 yards and scored a touchdown. Besides, he hit two passes for 40 yards. Malcolm Brown is still a factor, but Henderson deserves a closer look.
RB Devonta Freeman, free agent ($18). Time is very important here, with Freeman scheduled to stop at the Giants on Tuesday. If you sign, you’re across Barkley’s full potential for talented replacement. Fantastic groups that started 0-2. Even Leonard Fournette had a few weeks of educational camp after joining the Bucs.
TE Dalton Schultz, Dallas Cowboys ($16). Dallas lost adjusted final Blake Jarwin during the season due to a knee injury in the first week. But Schultz looked comfortable in the Cowboys’ superior strength offensive, scoring nine receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. Maybe it’s just a TE1 the rest of the time.
RB Dion Lewis, New York Giants ($15). Lewis received all backfield runs from the Giants after Barkley’s injury, gaining 20 yards in 10 attempts, but also entering the finish line. It’s more productive to use it as a retracement to replace the most online speed with your 4 receptions for 36 yards So look at it to continue on this role.
Wayne Gallman, New York Giants ($12). At least initially, Gallman gains the maximum playing time for the Giants. He’s held the amateur position before, with marginal results.
WR Russell Gage, Atlanta Falcons ($10). Gage had more than a hundred yards at reception in Week 1 (what didn’t the Falcons catcher do?) And he went on with six receptions for 46 yards and one landing. He also nearly dropped an landing pass, but Julio Jones dropped it. With Jones questionable for Week 3, this would possibly be the last chance to get Gage at a discount.
WR Keelan Cole, Jacksonville Jaguars ($8). If it took more than a week to immerse yourself in Gardner Minshew’s magic, it’s time to consider one of his non-headed receivers as standard: Chark. Cole has a TD in either game so far and has noticed the second-highest number of shots. of any Jags receiver
WR Chase Claypool, Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers can also have only 3 viable receivers. Claypool scored his 3 goals for 88 yards, adding an 84-yard touchdown. You might not see the volume That JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson will do, but their ability to play earns him a spot on the list.
WR Braxton Berrios, New York Jets. The injuries of Jamison Crowder, Chris Hogan and Breshad Perriman have seriously exhausted the vast body of receptions. Berrios hit a TD pass from his six receptions in Week 2 and can see even more goals with the Jets in consistent recoil mode.
TE Jordan Reed, San Francisco. The Reed 49ers hit a couple of landing passes starting at George Kittle. Es’s position great, but Kittle will be back as soon as you can imagine and Reed has his own history of injury problems. to chase last week’s statistics.
QB Justin Herbert, los Angeles Chargers. A pre-game injury to Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor gave Herbert his first NFL action, and he didn’t look like a rookie at all, he had more than three hundred yards and an air landing. He also ran for a score. Even if Herbert doesn’t start in Week 3, he’ll most likely take over sometime this season.
Also be sure to check the possible options in last week’s exemption thread to see if any of those players are still available in your league.
