Fantasy football managers received bad news on quarterback injuries this week.
Ben Roethlisberger will undergo season-ending elbow surgery, and Drew Brees will miss six weeks with a torn ligament in his thumb, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. On a brighter note, two rookie wideouts reached the end zone for the first time, and both have significant upside.
If you're preparing to scramble for a replacement QB, consider a signal-caller who can add points with his legs. Most leagues won't have a high-end pocket passer available.
Coaching staffs can shift running back workloads at any time, but one ball-carrier doubled his rush attempts between the first two weeks and took 20 handoffs Sunday.
