The second week of the NFL season was downright diabolical to fantasy owners who saw a wave of injuries and suspensions gut their rosters.
It's clear that the turmoil will not ease. The new normal in the NFL includes injuries,NFL Jerseys Outlet, roster turnover and suspensions,NFL Jerseys China, so owners need to hold on for their dear lives and be more active — and proactive — on the waiver wire than ever.
The injuries had fantasy owners desperately running triage to field any sort of replacements in their MASH-unit lineups. That meant pulling the trigger on no-name, waiver-wire pickups like Knile Davis, Matt Asiata, Jerick McKinnon and Bobby Rainey and praying they pan out. (And for what it's worth,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, Davis and Rainey are must-owns if they happen to still be available in your leagues).

Green exited the game with a foot injury without recording a single catch. Doug Martin and Carson Palmer were late scratches, and Ryan Matthews and Robert Griffin III were carted off the field with injuries that will cost them each several weeks. Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery were hobbled to the point that it was pure guesswork by lineup deadlines as to whether they would play or be effective on Sunday night.
