Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

0:16.9

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

0:20.4

Thanks for joining me here on Monday afternoon. Plenty to go over from the injuries in week 11 to all these waiver wire players. And I'm going to recommend that you add before week 12. And not a long intro today. We're going to get right into it. And we're going to start with the injured running backs because we had a few ones there.

0:55.0

Devon A. Chan, he came off I.R. after dealing with the knee injury, we had very high hopes for this matchup. We thought he was going to come through for us, but he hurts his knee again and he didn't return. And now after the game, we had Mike McDaniel say that somebody fell on A. Chan's knee and that it was painful for him,

1:00.0

that A. Chan was trying to get back in the game, but they held them out to be safe. So that sounds good.

1:04.6

And then today, McDaniel, he had a couple things a note. He said it's not going to require surgery.

1:28.4

So that's positive for sure. But it also makes it sound like it's at least a little more serious than them just playing it cautious on Sunday. Now, McDaniel talked about the fact that it's going to be a short week for them because they play the Jets on Friday. And you're going to have to keep that in mind this week. We're going to have a few players like that because we have three games on Thanksgiving as usual. And then we have this new Black Friday game. So not a normal week for fantasy. And that makes some of these injuries a little harder to assess. And it means that you're

1:33.1

going to have to remember to set those lineups early too. But my take on Achan is that he probably

1:38.0

won't play in this game on Friday. And then he might make a return for week 13. So that would turn Rahim Moster into a very strong play this week. We've seen him produce when A. Chan hasn't been out there. We've seen him produce when A. Chan's been out there as well. But we've certainly seen him have a higher ceiling when A. Chan's not also occupying that backfield. And then Jeff Wilson, he was a healthy scratch on Sunday. you would expect that he would be active now and he'd be sharing the backup duties to some extent with Salvin Ahmed.

2:06.2

And we'll see if McDaniel gives us some insight into how those two will be used as the number two and number three backs.

2:11.7

But at the moment, I would project that Wilson will get more touches and he'll be a risky flex option.

2:18.6

We also lost Aaron Jones to a knee injury this week and he needed help coming off the field

2:22.6

and then he got carted to the locker room and he had a towel over his head. I was

2:26.1

kind of worried because when that happens that often means that it's going to be a

2:29.8

season-ending injury that the players gotten some bad news on the field and after the

2:34.0

game Matt Lefleur said that he doesn't think this is a long-term issue, which you can interpret a couple ways, right? You could say, okay, not a long-term issue. That means it's not season-ending, but it could still suggest that he's going to miss a few weeks here, right? It depends how you want to define long-term. but Lefleur also said that Jones was in good spirits. And Jones himself actually said that the early test showed that his ACL was intact. So small sire relief there, but we will get an MRI today. There hasn't been an update on it as of the time we're recording here. But I'd expect that he's going to be out at least a couple of weeks with this one. and after he left, the Packers third string running back, Emmanuel Wilson, he suffered a shoulder injury.

3:12.0

He had to be carded off.

3:13.2

So I highly doubt that he's going to be able to play this week.

3:16.3

And Green Bay, another team playing on a short week here.

3:19.2

They got the Lions on Thanksgiving.

3:21.0

So A.J. Dylan is going to get the start.

3:23.3

He projects to be an RB2 and fantasy for that
