There's some big time injuries on Thanksgiving that you need to know about next on fantasy football today in five.

0:11.8

Welcome to fantasy football today in five. I'm Chris Towers and I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

0:16.9

Not so great for some of the fantasy players on Thanksgiving, unfortunately. On today's

0:21.0

episode, we're going to talk about a few start sickalls for week 12. But first, some big news

0:25.0

coming out of Thursday's trio of games, including a couple of injuries that could loon large

0:29.8

with the fantasy playoffs upcoming. First one was Darren Waller leaving with a knee injury in Thursday's

0:36.0

game, while DeAndre Swift was also forced out with a shoulder injury. The's game while D'Anne D'Awhip was also forced out with a

0:39.3

shoulder injury.

0:40.0

The good news is, of course, both players have an extra few days to get healthy before their

0:43.7

week 13 games, but obviously right now, we don't really know what their statuses are.

0:49.4

If they can't play, Jamal Williams probably becomes an RB2.

0:52.9

He had 13.3 pPR points in Thursday's game

0:56.2

would be a viable RB2, especially in PPR leagues. And Foster Moreau, you know, we saw him

1:01.5

earlier on in the season, fill in for Darren Waller when he missed a game with, I believe, an ankle

1:06.0

injury. He had 18 ppr points. So I think he could be probably a top 12 tight end in the rankings, probably top 15 at the very least.

1:14.5

So I think, you know, if D'Andre Swift and Darren Waller are forced to miss time, at least we do have, you know, viable fantasy relevant replacement options for them.

1:24.2

I'll be, you know, I don't think Jamal Williams would be as good as DeAndre Swift or

1:27.9

Foster Moreau as good as Darren Waller, but, you know, at least those guys would be big time

1:33.1

waiver wire targets for week 13. And another guy who might be a big time waiver wire target,

1:38.3

or at least a, you know, low end waiver wire target. Someone we should be looking to add, though,

1:43.1

is Bill's running back

1:44.6

matt bretah you know zach moss was uh inactive he was a healthy scratch for this game and that's
