Week 3: Injuries Abound

I had a much better gif of a dude on a four wheeler riding a wheelie in the road before getting hit head-on by a car. Unfortunately uploading large files seems to include problems with different hosting sites, and I don't feel like dealing with them at this late hour.

I don't know if it's because I'm dealing with it on a personal level this season, or I just finished playing against Rob, but it seems there have been a lot more injuries than normal this year.

I've lost Adrian Peterson and Ameer Abdullah for a good chunk (if not all) of the season. Gronk has been injured for the first three weeks and has yet to record a single point. And Spencer Ware has been dealing with a toe injury.

Linhart has it worse with four high quality starters all with asterisk's next to their names; Shane Vereen, Sammy Watkins, Doug Martin, and Arian Foster.

Vic has been struck by the injury bug as well. First losing Kennan Allen during the first game of the season, then Jonathan Stewart, Rashad Jennings, and Delanie Walker all getting hurt.

Devin has five players marked with an asterisk: Thomas Rawls, Tyler Eifert, Antonio Gates, C.J. Prosise, and Kenneth Dixon. And I'm not even including the fact that Le'Veon Bell has missed the first three games due to suspension.

Rock's got Donte Moncrief, Zach Ertz, Corey Coleman, and Danny Woodhead injured. Plus, Dez Bryant is getting an MRI on his knee after having to leave the game Sunday night, and Jarvis Landry is being held out of practice with a shoulder injury.

T-Smoke's got Jeremy Langford & Deion Lewis. Not much concern there.

Joe Pro's only dealing with Willie Snead being out.

Spae: Jamaal Charles, & Virgil Green. Don: Jordan Cameron.

Urgie, B-Shorts and Davie's teams don't seem to have any significant injuries so who knows what their excuse is.

The point is, that this year seems to be hinging on depth more than any other season in the past. If you're lucky enough to have the core of your team remain relatively healthy, you've got a better shot than the rest of the league who seems to be facing more than their fair share of health issues.
