Some of the toughest situations to deal with as a fantasy football manager involve late-week injury news. You know, like Tyler Warren and Jeremiyah Love this past week. Or recall the Christian McCaffrey Week 1 debacle last season.
Of course, those are frustrating and cause roster scrambling well after the weekly waiver period has come and gone.
Don’t worry. It can get worse! Now we can add late-week benchings to the mix.
A moment to clarify: Giants coach John Harbaugh expressly said running back Cam Skattebo was not “benched.” And technically, that is true. Skattebo did play, he just didn’t get any carries and didn’t get on the field the entire second half.
