The key word this week is… injuries. There are lots of them. It’s not only the injuries that were apparent during last week’s games, but ones that were announced as the week went on. There are players who you may have thought to be okay who’ve already been announced as out. So, instead of spending time chatting, let me tell you who’s not playing, as well as those who are unlikely to play.

As you can see, there are too many injuries. If you’re torn on who to play because of that, here are my updated rankings (that will be adjusted all the way up until kickoff) for this week after learning of all the injuries. If you’d like to know why each player is where they are, I’ve written a full paragraph on every player from every game in The Primer. It’s a weekly article that answers just about any question you might have, and you can read it for FREE right here. If you are still torn, we do a Sunday morning livestream where I answer as many of your questions that I can for a full hour, starting at 11am EST. Here’s the link to that.
