Patching Holes After an Injury-Filled Week of Fantasy Football; Waiver Wire; Droppables

The SI Fantasy Football Newsletter hits inboxes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Injuries were the headline this week. We see them every week, every year, but we saw more than a normal helping in Week 2. So the story in Week 3 is how to replace them.

Whether you have a QB out for the season, a wide receiver out for an undetermined amount of time or a running back hitting the MRI machine this week, we all have to move forward with our rosters.

So, Mason Rudolph or Teddy Bridgewater? If you’re stuck having to choose between the injury replacements for future Hall of Famers Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees, at least one of our writers is picking Mason Rudolph. But there are other options available on the wire too.

Whatever holes your team has, we’re here to help.
