As the fantasy football playoffs are about to get underway, we're now looking at two more QBs who started in Week 1 being forced to mi s time. Last Sunday wasn't kind to Justin Herbert or C.J. Stroud, who are both facing an uphill battle heading into their teams' next games. Both left early and did not return, leaving fantasy owners scrambling for replacements on the waiver wire ahead of Week 15.Below, we'll give you the latest news on these key QBs and break down how their injuries could potentially affect the Week 15 fantasy landscape.For news on ailing RBsAlexander Mattison,Jerome Ford, andJosh Jacobs,. For the latest on Zac Grotz Jersey injured WRsJustin JeffersonandNico Collins,. For more on injured TEsDarren Waller, Taysom Hill, andDalton Schultz, . For more on injured RBs Jonathan Taylor, Isiah Pacheco, Brian Robinson Guillermo Heredia Jersey Jr., Rhamondre Stevenson, and Aaron Jones,. For updates on more banged-up WRs Christian Watson, Demario Douglas, and Marquise Brown,.WEEK 15 FANTASY: | UPDATE:It was announced Tuesday that Herbert .Herbert (finger) left Sundays lo s to the Broncos in the second quarter and did not return. The QB was revealed to have departed with a , according to HC Brandon Staley. It's something that will not only threaten Herberts Week 15 status but also his availability for the rest of the season. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, . The Chargers currently sit at 5-8 with their playoff hopes e sentially nonexistent, leaving them to play out the remaining games of a disappointing year. Former North Dakota State signal caller Easton Stick would be in line to start without Herbert as L.A. marches toward a top-10 pick in Aprils draft and an offseason of sweeping changes to an organization that can never seem to get over the hump.We know by now that Herbert typically plays through injury, notoriously suiting up with an injury to his non-throwing hand earlier this season. The current situation is bad news for those who were relying on Herbert in the fantasy playoffs, and its even worse news for those who were counting on Keenan Allen. The WRs value certainly plummets with Stick under center, but it doesnt bottom out given Allen's ability. However, potential waiver pickups Gerald Everett and Josh Palmer (knee) Shed Long Jersey lose quite a bit of luster with the downgrade from Herbert to Stick.More important, Herbert owners don't have many viable options, as Joe Flacco (vs. Bears) and Jake Browning (vs. Vikings) are the best Week 15 options available in over 50 percent of Yahoo leagues. Drew Lock (vs. Eagles) would also have some appeal if he starts again, but Seattle doesn't play until Monday night, limiting Lock's appeal.WEEK 15 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Stroud Domingo Santana Jersey (concu sion) on Sunday in a game that saw the Texans lose more than once. The rookie struggled to find a rhythm in the pouring rain against the Jets, throwing for just 91 yards and completing 43.5 percent of pa ses en route to a 30-6 lo s. It was on a day that saw Houston also have Nico Collins exit with a calf injury, further depleting an already banged-up group of pa s-catchers. Strouds injury came late in the fourth quarter of a game that was no longer in doubt and was the result of a big hit from Quinnen Ken Griffey Jersey Williams. The QB will have to clear the five-step protocol now in order to play in Week 15 against the Titans.WEEK 15 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Players have managed to clear the protocol faster as the season has gone on, but head injuries are difficult to project, meaning we should expect Stroud to be sidelined until evidence suggests otherwise. If Houston is without Stroud, it will turn to Davis Mills to keep the teams fading playoff hopes alive as injuries take their toll.Stroud owners will need to look to guys like Joe Flacco (vs. Bears), Jake Browning (vs. Vikings), or Mills (@ Titans) if they don't have another QB on their bench.
