The fantasy season is nearing an end, but COVID isn’t going anywhere. Three games have already been moved and over 100 NFL players are now in the league’s protocol. Plus, we still have a ton of injuries to consider. Here’s a look at some of those situations in our weekly Injury Report.
With more than 100 COVID cases across the NFL, the league has moved three Week 15 games off their original dates to be played on Monday and Tuesday.
The Cleveland Browns vs. Las Vegas Raiders matchup will be moved from Saturday to Monday while the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Football Team and Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Rams matchups will be moved from Sunday to Tuesday.
