The final games of a mostly positive Sunday in Week 14 dealt fantasy owners a few harsh blows, as two fantasy fixtures were injured in separate games, and in each case those owners will likely need to look elsewhere. First, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings, who entered Week 14 as fantasy's No. 4 wide receiver for the season, suffered a sprained knee and perhaps worse in a late afternoon victory over the Oakland Raiders. He'll be examined further Monday. As for Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray, he fractured his ankle early in the Sunday night tilt against the New York Giants, and his season is unfortunately over.
For more of Eric's thoughts on the fantasy impact of the Greg Jennings and DeMarco Murray injuries, you must be an ESPN Insider!
