Theme of the Week: Always Explore Injuries

Nick Chubb's significant knee injury ripples through dynasty leagues this week. If Chubb is on a now 0-2 team, send offers for their notable players, as they could be looking ahead to 2024 already if Chubb is paired with other injuries or underperforming players.
