Several players important to fantasy owners were injured last week; hopefully, none of them cost you a spot in your league’s finals.  Here’s a list of the players who were hurt during Week 15 action or were surprising scratches:

QB

• Brady Quinn (inj, IR) 
• Ryan Fitzpatrick (inj?)
• Charlie Frye (inj?)

RB  

• DeAngelo Williams (inj?) 
• Michael Turner (inj?) (seems like he’s been on this list every week for the last month or so)
• Correll Buckhalter (inj)
• Reggie Bush (inj?)
• Justin Fargas (inj?)

WR 

• Devin Hester (inj?)
• Pierre Garcon (inj?)
• Hakeem Nicks (inj?)
• Devin Thomas (inj?)
• Sammie Stroughter (inj, IR)

TE

• Zach Miller (inj?)
• Jeremy Shockey (inj?)

K - Nick Folk (cut) 

So, who are some players at each position who should be on your radar screen if you need a replacement?  The following list contains players who may not be available in your league, depending on the number of teams in your league and your roster requirements.   

Quarterbacks

Chad Henne, Alex Smith, Jason Campbell, Josh Freeman, Derek Anderson.

Running Backs

Jerome Harrison, Maurice Morris, Jerious Norwood, Michael Bush, Darren McFadden, Jason Snelling, Shonn Greene.

Wide Receivers

Kenny Britt, David Anderson, Andre Caldwell, Greg Camarillo, Josh Cribbs, Davone Bess, Brian Hartline, Justin Gage, Chaz Schilens, Demetrius Williams, Josh Morgan, Malcom Floyd, Laveranues Coles, Donnie Avery, Brandon Gibson, Torry Holt.

Tight Ends

Fred Davis, Jermichael Finley, Dustin Keller, Marcedes Lewis, Bo Scaife, Anthony Fasano, David Thomas.

Kickers

Shayne Graham, Dan Carpenter, Kris Brown, Joe Nedney, Shaun Suisham.

Defenses

Atlanta, Cleveland, Oakland, New York Jets.

I’ll post my analysis of the Week 16 games Thursday.  If your league requires you to set your lineup before the first game of the week, there’s no Thursday night game this week, but there is a Friday night game featuring San Diego at Tennessee.

Until then,
