Horror movies have jump scares. It is just a fact of life. If you’re watching a horror movie, and it hasn’t had a jump scare yet, just wait. One is coming. It always is.
Those jump scares are as unavoidable as football injuries. And those injuries can be alarming for your fantasy team. Some might make you leap out of your seat and dash to the waiver wire. Others might be so dangerous, your team gets slayed before the season is over.
This season certainly had its share of jump scares. So hold your breath as we navigate this haunted house of fantasy horrors.
Even if you can see some scares coming, it doesn’t mean they aren’t scary. Like Christian McCaffrey. His injury wasn’t a shocker. He was hampered in the preseason, so smart managers handcuffed him. He wasn’t expected to miss much time, yet he began the season as just a whisper on a cold wind, a phantom in the fantasy moonlight, a campfire legend, until he finally stepped out of the shadows and onto the field in Week 10.
