This might be the toughest week of the season to date. Some have nicknamed it Byepocalypse for a reason, as there are six teams that are on their bye week. That means the waiver wire is thin and any injuries can be tough to find replacements. That’s where the Fantrax NFL Injury Report comes into play, as knowing who to start is as crucial as ever. Stick with Fantrax to help you win your week.
