Coming off a horrible week for quarterback injuries, fantasy football managers could be scrambling (pun intended) to fill those lineup holes. And don't forget about an early kickoff for the Dolphins and Chiefs in Germany.
ON BYE: Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers
