It's impossible to get through a week of football without some big names going down. A player getting injured is simply part of the game. Knowing this info is pivotal to the success of your fantasy football team so that you don't sink your squad with a wounded duck or become the joke of your league for starting a dude that got hurt the previous week. Below are a few of the injuries from Week 4 that may have an impact for next week, a few games, or the entire season.
Who's Out: Patrick Cowan (pic left), QB, UCLA
What Hurts: Knee
How Long: At Least 1 Week
Who's In: Ben Olson - The timing couldn't have been better for Olson who is just returning from an injury of his own. If Olson plays well, expect a QB controversy when both players are healthy.
Who's Out: Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State
What Hurts: Left Ankle
How Long: Back Next Week
Who's In: Chris Wells - Wells will be back next week, but he gave Buckeye fans a scare when he rolled his ankle. Maurice Wells filled in for him the rest of the game.
Who's Out: Austin Collie (pic left), WR, BYU
What Hurts: Ankle
How Long: 1 Week?
Who's In: Matt Allen, Michael Reed - Collie tried to play against Air Force, but had his 14-consecutive game streak with a catch broken after the coaches held him out. Collie will hope to play this Saturday.
Who's Out: Anthony Brodell, WR, Iowa
What Hurts: Hamstring
How Long: Indefinitely
Who's In: Derrell Johnson-Koulianos - Here's a name that's probably available in your league. Iowa's WR corps has been decimiated by injuries and suspensions. Trey Stross hasn't played since the opener because of a hamstring pull, and Dominique Douglas and Anthony Bowman are serving indefinite suspensions because of their arrests for unauthorized use of a credit card.
Who's Out: Tony Moeaki, TE, Iowa
What Hurts: Dislocated Elbow and Broken Wrist
How Long: Season
Who's In: Brandon Myers - Another tough break for the Hawkeyes as they lose their premiere starting TE as well.
