Who should you be adding to replace Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook on the Waverwire

0:07.2

in week 13? We'll talk about it next on Fantasy Football Today in 5.

0:12.7

Welcome to Fantasy Football Today in 5. I'm Chris Towers here with Dan Schneier to talk about

0:17.5

what actually might end up being arguably the most important

0:21.2
