Football? Yes, football. We aren’t even halfway through the season! Though, it does feel like we just started. Oh where has the time gone? If you’re 2-5 and feeling dead in the water, check that horizon for a ship or land or a wayward sea turtle. Grab hold and just keep swimming!
Week 8 byes
Cardinals, Jaguars, Lions, Rams, Raiders, Seahawks
Running backs on bye
Bam Knight, Michael Carter, Trais Etienne, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Kyren Williams, Ashton Jeanty, Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet
RB injuries
Bucky Irving, Buccaneers
Irving missed the last three games with a shoulder and foot injury. Rachaad White has taken over the lead role and has been useful overall in fantasy with the extra work. Irving wasn’t put on I.R., so he should be close to returning. Keep an eye out on the practice reports.
Aaron Jones, Vikings
Jones can come off I.R. this week if he’s healthy enough, but we’re still waiting on that news. Jordan Mason has looked good in his absence, but as long as Jones is healthy, he will have a role in the offense. It’s possible Mason will get the early down work and Jones passing-down work when he returns.
