The likes of Deebo Samuel, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Pat Freiermuth, Dan Arnold, Michael Carter, D’Andre Swift, Darren Waller, Alvin Kamara, Allen Robinson, Jordan Howard, A.J. Brown and Kadarius Toney are dealing with injuries that could cost significant time in some cases.
Four teams have byes in Week 13: The Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans will be taking time off, so key pieces like Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Jones, Davante Adams and Nick Chubb will need to be replaced. For those thinking ahead, the Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles are off in Week 14 in the league’s final week of byes, so adjust waivers accordingly.
