Thanks for reading this list in its entirety and not just scrolling down really fast to see if there’s extra jokes at the end! It took a really long time for our unpaid interns to manually type these out and hyperlink them to each player’s page on ESPN. They haven’t eaten or slept in days.

Remember fantasy players, RB injuries are extremely easy to predict.

Every RB that got hurt last year will get hurt again in the exact same way! RBs with no history of serious injury are guaranteed to play all season. That’s why I drafted Breece Hall over Christian McCaffrey in 2022 and took 11th in my league!
