The number one rule in fantasy football is to avoid players who are already injured.

So here are 10 injury situations you need to know for this year.

Now, O'Dell Beckham Jr. is expected to miss anywhere from 10 to 12 weeks.

And he is a free agent, but it's expected that he wants to stay in L.A. personally, and he'll be back with the Rams.

So if he was going to miss 10 to 12 weeks, he's likely to return at the end of November or likely the beginning of

December. Now, despite this, Odell Beckham is still being drafted in fantasy drafts, and he goes

pretty early. Like, he's going around Julio Jones, who is expected to sign with a team like

the Packers or the Ravens and is healthy right now. And he even goes before potential starting

wide receivers like Brian Edwards in Atlanta and Zay Jones who signed a decent

contract in Jacksonville. And now fellas, the biggest thing here is that those guys that we

just talked about, they're clearly healthy when Odell is not. Now, J.K. Dobbins is assumed to be

behind on his injury recovery. It's been suggested that the injury is worse than previously reported.

And even coach John Harbaugh just recently this summer stated for the first

time, so this should give you some red flags, that Dobbins could start training camp on the PUP list,

the pup, physically unable to perform, would not play the first six games. And it's also worth

pointing out that this wasn't a normal ACL tear for Dobbins. He also injured his LCL, which makes it

a longer injury recovery time and an increased chance at re-injured.

So who benefits if Dobbins misses time?

Well, let's discuss.

Backup running back Gus Edwards also tore his ACL last year.

But unlike Dobbins, this was just an isolated tear, just in that ACL.

So it's going to be a quicker injury recovery time for a back who's not that old.
