Top Waiver-Wire Fantasy RBs to Target with Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook Injured

Two of the top running backs in the league suffered injuries Sunday, which could have fantasy football managers scrambling to the waiver wire.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Carolina Panthers star Christian McCaffrey is done for the year because of an ankle injury he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Rapoport also reported Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook suffered a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum during his team's loss to the Minnesota Vikings but could return as soon as a Week 15 matchup with the Chicago Bears.

That means any fantasy football manager fortunate enough to land Alexander Mattison on the waiver wire will have a running back who can immediately help replace the lost production of Cook or McCaffrey.
