Welcome to the dreaded injury report. Professional football is a violent game, and your fantasy players are going to miss time because of it. We saw a few names go down in Week 11, some more significant than others. As always, hopefully, you don’t have many names on this list.

Chris Thompson (RB – WAS)
Just one week after Rob Kelley was lost for the season, Chris Thompson followed. CT broke his leg and his season is over. This leaves Samaje Perine and Byron Marshall as the only healthy backs on the Redskins. Marshall isn’t good so Perine will be getting all the work he can handle. Perine showed himself very well in his first real feature roll and looks like an every-week RB2 rest of season.
D’Onta Foreman (RB – HOU)
D’Onta Foreman had a breakout game on Sunday. Unfortunately, in capping his day off with his second touchdown, he also tore his Achilles. Foreman had been pushing Lamar Miller for snaps. That’s over. Miller’s workload is no longer at risk as Alfred Blue is not a real threat.
Jay Cutler (QB – MIA)
Jay Cutler was concussed and replaced by Matt Moore last week. Cutler has been awful. So has Moore. Neither DeVante Parker nor Jarvis Landry are really impacted by the QB – both are equally bad – and neither a fantasy option in their own right. Kenny Stills had a game after Moore took over, and they have a clear history of chemistry.
Kelvin Benjamin (WR – BUF)
One of Nathan Peterman‘s only completions (to this own team) went to Kelvin Benjamin. Unfortunately, Benjamin was injured on the play and carted to the locker room. It has the looks of a multi-week knee injury, potentially season-ending. Benjamin’s value already was diminished on the Bills’ low-volume passing attack. He very well might be dropped from your team on Tuesday.
Robert Woods (WR – LAR)
One of the league’s hottest WRs had to exit early with a shoulder injury. I’m not a doctor, but it looks like the increasingly common sprained AC joint. I would consider Woods doubtful to suit up on Sunday, but he may not miss more than one game. His absence would force Jared Goff to focus more on Sammy Watkins and Cooper Kupp. I would trust Kupp far more than Watkins.
