It’s always odd for me when there are Saturday games in the NFL. It practically throws off my entire schedule. However, there’s something it’s helpful for in the fantasy playoffs, and that’s understanding your position. Where does your fantasy team stand after three full games have been played? Are you a major underdog after your opponent had Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Aaron Jones in their lineup? Shoot for the fences. Play the high-upside players over the ones who are simply “safe.” It’s win or go home and you need the ceiling. Are you the one with the lead after those three games? That’s where you want to take as little of risk as possible. We’ll be talking about all your options on the Sunday morning livestream at 11am EST right here. But now, let’s cover the injuries.
