Always Double Check Your Daily Fantasy Sports Roster, Here Comes the Injuries!

Professional American Football is not a game for the faint of heart and body. In this game, muscular men use brute force to outbalance the opponent in order to prevent the specific play to be completed. There are other factors in the game that can contribute to victory such as speed (on RB) and accuracy (on QB) but power is such an important factor that it can single handedly dictate the game's outcome.

Because players in the NFL use force, injuries should be expected. Everyone is hoping that the injuries will just be a simple sprain that just needs a couple of ice packs but there will be injuries that can be fatal. This is a very scary situation but it's the truth.

Fantasy players for NFL are not just affected by injuries because they are fans. They will be affected in their numbers as their player goes down and did not show signs of stability when standing up. The fantasy player has to make some changes on their roster immediately.
Without much ado: here are the players that immediately became candidates for wavier:

Matt Stafford

(QB) for the Lions - this is a very scary situation for Detroit fans. They are all rooting for this amazing rookie and he has performed just fine in his first few games as a professional. But he went out near the end of the game due to a knee problem. The injury is not just a simple strain but on the kneecap. Fans have to wait until next week if Matt Stafford will be back in the game.

Correll Buckhalter

(RB) for the Broncos - Buckhalter provides the much needed passing threat for Denver. But something bad happened against Dallas that he was unable to walk without assistance last Sunday. Official word was that it was "only" a sprained ankle but no date was set on when he will be back. A strain without a definite return date is a bad sign.

Darren McFadden

(RB) for the Raiders - the big man for Oakland injured his right knee. To be specific, he had a torn cartilage which immediately placed him on the injured list. Waive him as he will never see action for at least two weeks. Experts extended the recovery time to four weeks which could be very devastating to Oakland.

Devon Hester

(WR) for Bears - Devon Hester is one of the special athletes of Chicago. With that said, his injury this week can cause damage for the Bears in their offensive end. As of this writing, the injury of Hester is on the neck which could take time to heal. No additional word yet on the seriousness of the injury.
