Another week, another collection of injuries in a year full of them. This week, not one but two Packers running backs went down, while Texans playmaker Will Fuller was removed from the game with a rib injury, and Falcons RB Devonta Freeman entered concussion protocol. With bye weeks behind the teams affected, fantasy football managers need to do their best to survive the coming weeks, which won’t be easy to do.
In addition to the injuries, which we’re all used to now thanks to an accumulation of scar tissue upon our fantasy football brains, Week 10 saw a strange amount of duds from studs, which in itself, sounds like a phrase that could launch its own standalone column, but Fantasy Football Heartbreak paints just as good of a picture if you ask me.
So now we look back on Week 10, a make or break week for many fantasy managers, and one that likely finally sunk the hopes and dreams of many as they witnessed Antonio Brown put up a shockingly weak performance. There’s someone in my personal league that rolled out both Devonta Freeman and Aaron Jones, getting a combined 2.5 points out of the two men. In a game that’s wrought with disappointment and terror, this is Fantasy Football Heartbreak, Week 10.
Me: I just need Abdullah and Antonio Brown to combine for 120 yards and I win my fantasy game, shouldn’t be that hard!

Aaron Jones and Devonta Freeman hurt in the first quarter. And the week Zeke finally serves his suspension. My fantasy team might be screwed. 😑

TFW your fantasy football fortunes for the week are dependent upon Cam Newton playing as poorly against the Dolphins as Tyrod Taylor played against the Saints. pic.twitter.com/gPwBLvYjEG

Was I being held against my will when I decided to start Tyrod Taylor instead of Tom Brady in fantasy this week? Even now when I read this tweet in my head, I can not think of any reason why I would do something that dumb…
