Fantasy Impact:

It's the second IR stint of the year for CMC, who injured his ankle in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Dolphins. It was previously reported that McCaffrey would likely return after the team's Week 13 bye, but an MRI showed the more significant injury. Chuba Hubbard and Ameer Abdullah will be popular waiver wire pickups this week.
