Just as we were beginning to think Aaron Rodgers and the packers were about to get back on track, the unexpected happens. The Packers number 2 and 3 wide-outs Randall Cobb and James Jones get hurt in the same game. Green Bay only has 4 eligible wide receivers and 2 of them had just gotten hurt yesterday.
This might put fantasy owners who have Cobb on their team in some trouble. The player analysis stated he can be out up to six weeks. OUCH! As for Jones, fantasy owners got a little more lucky and he might even be available to play in Sunday's game against the Browns. You might want to search around for another quarterback to fall too if Rodgers doesn't produce numbers next week. He won't have 2 of his most targeted receivers and may be forced to go to the run game for the next few weeks. If you have Eddie Lacy though, this could be a huge bonus for your team. He will be seeing many more carries in the next few weeks as Rodgers decides what his game plan will be.
As for other news, the Saints fell to the Patriots in a last second thriller! There are only two remaining squads with perfect records and that's the Chiefs and Broncos. They are in the same division, boy will that get ugly! It's getting to the point where teams are getting carved out for potential playoff candidacy.
What to Do About Playoffs:
Check for updates frequently for good potential pickups in the next few weeks so that your team can get a little boost for the fantasy playoffs which will be in about a month and a half. This can ultimately be this difference between a win and a loss for your team.
