Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host, Justin Boone. Thanks for hanging out with me on this wonderful Monday. My bill's exacting a little revenge on the Chiefs last night. Not sure if everybody stayed up for that one because the weather delay pushed a little later than usual. But Buffalo got the win. They looked pretty good doing it. We are fired up today. And we're going to need that energy level because we got a lot of injuries to go over some big name players going down in week five we'll go over those

what it means for your fantasy teams then i want to hit on a couple by low running backs i think it could

either help you out over the next month or maybe later in the season and then we're going to turn our

games. 94 yards from

scrimmage and a touchdown in week three hundred twenty six yards and two scores in week four

and then absolute sadness suffers an ankle injury in week five and now the reports from

ian rapporte called it a low ankle sprain which that would be great news since we know the high ankle sprain

can be season killer especially for running backs can just totally sap their effectiveness low ankle

sprain though likely would only keep them out a couple weeks here ideally and we'll know more after

the swelling comes down and we get more tests in the next day or so but rap sheets saying two to four

weeks is the timetable. So Devante

Booker might get a starter too here and the rookie Gary Brightwell's behind him so he'd be the new

backup. But Booker saw all the snaps when Barkley went down yesterday and he wasn't bad. 16 carries,
