Ryan Grant and Tony Romo done of the year. Matthew Stafford missing half the season. Ryan Matthews not getting touches because of injury.

Also have had to deal with Pierre Garcon, Michael Turner, and Steven Jackson fighting injuries all year.

This is, of course, my BetJam team. The best part might be that I have Hakeem Nicks but never seem to start him. Had Mark Clayton go down at WR too. And Anthony Gonzalez was originally around before getting hurt.

My current lineup:

QB: Stafford, Alex Smith
RB: Turner, Matthews, Brandon Jackson, Marion Barber, Javon Ringer
WR: Randy Moss, Driver, Nicks, Garcon, Crabtree
TE: Greg Olsen, John Carlson

Injuries have crushed this squad.

Yikes @ QB/RBs

I think RBs will be just fine as long as Turner and Matthews stay healthy. I have lots of faith in Matthews being a top fantasy RB the 2nd half of the year. QBs are another story. I'm just hoping Stafford stays healthy. He could be big... Hopefully. It's all I got anyway.

I think my team is much stronger, and I am 5-2, someone in my league is 7-0! I am in second place overall and in points.

QB: Orton/Ryan
RB: D. Williams, AP, Pierre Thomas, Bush, Barber
WR: White/Driver/Steve Smith (CAR)/Maclin/Mike Thomas/Lee Evans
TE: Cooley/Miller [had Finley but lost him for the year]
K: Bironas
DEF: matchup/new defense every week basically

Turner is good but Matthews isnt getting many yards of carries. Hopefully it changes.

Who have you been starting instead of Hakeem Nicks? He's a top 3 WR this season.

I'm lucky to be 5-2 with all these injuries, I got absolutely smashed this past week. Here are mine, ryan grant, j. Finley, reggie bush, malcolm floyd and d. Jackson. I also have a couple of backups that are banged up like, eddie royal and vince young. It seems like I'm the only team going through this.

He seems to come into every game with an injury though and I have other decent options. Usually decide to play it safe. It is then announced 5 minutes before game time that Nicks will play and he then goes crazy. My luck.

I have had season close to that in the past, but I think you would still have me beat on this bad luck

I have him on 2 teams as well, but i've had him start every game. I've had the same issue with McFadden. Ended up with 0 points in his spot 2 weeks ago. Luckily, I started him this past week.

It's not an injury, but Spiller is killing me. Drafted him as RB3 on two of my teams and he barely touches the ball.

My first three picks in a yardage league were A Johnson, Grant, P Thomas. Totally relate Jake.
