Wednesday morning greeted the fantasy community with bad news. The Lions placed Ameer Abdullah on IR because of his foot injury. Doug Martin will miss the next three weeks with his hamstring ailment. Adrian Peterson will have surgery on his torn meniscus, according to multiple reports. Most early timetables suggested he would miss a few weeks, but if he goes through with the surgery, it could cost him the rest of the fantasy season.
Vikings backups Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata are likely on rosters in leagues where they should be owned. Charles Sims was drafted in all competitive leagues, so there’s no further pivot for owners to make in Tampa Bay.
