Preseason Injury Watch: The Only Stat That Matters
The best outcome of any preseason game is to emerge with as few injuries as possible. Fantasy managers should stay vigilant as teams navigate the exhibition slate.
Look, we all know preseason is basically organized chaos with pads on. But here's the thing: The best outcome of any preseason game is to emerge with as few injuries as possible. That's not just coach-speak. That's the actual reality check for your roster.
While teams are grinding through these early games, your studs are one awkward landing away from the injury report. The Broncos had a rough outing in their preseason home opener against the Packers, and you better believe Sean Payton was sweating bullets about his depth chart, not the scoreboard.
Fantasy managers need to keep one eye on the injury wire and one eye on who's actually staying healthy. Because when Week 1 hits, you want your guys fresh, not dinged up from some meaningless August game.
