This week was rough concerning injuries. Vikings Wide receiver Justin Jefferson suffered a right hamstring injury that will result in him being put on IR and missing at least four games. Running backs James Connor and De’von Achane also suffered big injuries, putting them on IR as well.

Despite these players leaving the field for a time, there will also be a number of players returning to the field. Broncos running back Javonte Williams, quarterback Geno Smith and wide receiver Tee Higgins will be playing this week.

Before we go into this next week, let’s take a look at the standings:

Hunter – 48 points
