Hello, my name is Frank Torres and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. This segment
is all about injuries in Fantasy Football. Football is a violent game; players get injured
all the time. You will want to make sure that you are prepared when one of your players
gets injured. The biggest enemy to a Fantasy Football owner is, the one that has carried
me to a loss or two, is the last minute scratch. The last minute scratch is when the coach
decides that the player isn't healthy enough to play. And so at the very last minute he
will bench him and favor another player. Now of course, this is going to happen fifteen
minutes before a game starts and you already have your line-ups adjusted to accompany a
player that got scratched. That's why you will constantly want to be monitoring his
situation to see whether he's going to play or not. While you are monitoring the situation,
look at possible free agents you could pick up. Look at possible substitutes. Always have
a contingency plan for that player that goes down. Now injuries are a very serious part
of the game, they can cost you an entire weekend. Make sure that you know what the deal is with
your star player, especially when you get to the playoffs. Nothing knocks a top team
off the top worse than injuries.
