SI Fantasy Podcast: All the Stars Are Hurt + Early MVP Candidates

On the latest episode of the SI Fantasy Podcast, Dr. Roto, Michael Fabiano, and yours truly, "The Fantasy Executive" break down the injury-riddled Week 2 in the NFL.

Saquon Barkley was the biggest fantasy football-related injury that took place in Week 2. Barkley's torn ACL will end his season but fantasy managers still have to set their lineups with someone to take his place. Dr. Roto doesn't think Wayne Gallman will add anything to your fantasy roster while Michael Fabiano doesn't believe his backfield mate Dion Lewis will be anything special.

We also discuss the Giants potentially adding former Atlanta Falcons Pro-Bowl running back Devonta Freeman, but the guys worry about Freeman getting up to NFL game speed and are concerned about his past injury issues.
