Author: Yahoo Sports October 6, 2020 Duration: 52:53

As more and more injuries pile up in the NFL, Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski are here to get you back on track to a league title.

Sony Michel, Nick Chubb and Austin Ekeler are the latest star running backs to get banged up. Should you turn to Damien Harris, D’Ernest Johnson, Justin Jackson or Chase Edmonds?

It remains to be all about the rookies at wide receiver on the waiver wire. Will Tee Higgins replace A.J. Green as the Bengals top target? (34:47)

And at the tight end position, Scott and Andy each give you a streaming option ahead of Week 5.
