Fantasy Impact:

Leake is the first player to publicly state he won’t be playing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Players who are considered “high risk” will still be paid but that doesn’t apply to those who “only” have high risk family members. We expect there will be others who choose to follow Leake’s path. This decision all but ensures Zac Gallen a rotation spot.
