And you thought Peyton Manning was bad. High first round draft pick (#1 in some leagues) Jamaal Charles is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Owners may be quick to pick up Cheifs backup RB Thomas Jones, but I would recommend the other available RB, Dexter McCluster, an up-and-coming player who can be slotted in both RB and WR in most leagues. In just 12 carries this season he is averaging 7.8 yards per carry, and looks to get around that many touches per game with Charles now out. This guy has Charles-like upside.
Other notable injuries: Michael Vick suffered a concussion Sunday night in Atlanta and may miss next week's game against the division rival Giants. Owners may want to look into picking up Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatick, who is likely still available, but with the way he's been playing (7 TD 1 INT), won't be for long.
