Browns RB Nick Chubb (calf) will miss Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

Kareem Hunt is also dealing with his own injuries, making the Browns backfield suddenly thin. Hopefully Chubb only misses one game.

Rapoport: Saints appear poised to make QB change for Week 13

Sources: The Saints appear poised to make a QB change. Taysom Hill is taking first-team reps this week in practice.

Related players: Trevor Siemian

Fantasy Impact:

Hill is fresh off a strange, new contract that will see him earn money depending on what position he plays going forward, and now it appears he'll start at QB in Week 13 on Thursday night against the Cowboys. The tweet added Siemian is taking reps with the number-twos. Hill is best known for his running and with Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram battling injuries and missing Week 12, Hill probably gives the team their best shot at a win and a late push to the playoffs.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (toe) not planning on surgery 'at this time'

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers does not plan to have surgery on his toe at this time, per me and Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Impact:

As the tweet pointed out, "at this time" is the key. If Rodgers were to get surgery, he'd certainly miss games, and probably cost the Packers a shot at the top seed in the NFL. They currently sit in second behind the Cardinals, but do own the tiebreaker thanks to a 24-21 win earlier this season. The hope for Rodgers is the toe will heal and improve over the bye week, the tweet went on to say.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) out for season

An ankle injury suffered in Sunday's loss at Miami will cost Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey the rest of the season.

An MRI Monday morning revealed an injury severe enough to place him on injured reserve. Because of the time it would take to recover, and because it will be his second time on injured reserve this season, the news means McCaffrey will miss out on the Panthers' final five regular season games after the bye week.

Fantasy Impact:

It was reported earlier today that McCaffrey's ankle injury wasn't that serious and he could return after the bye week, but the MRI changed the mind of the team. It's certainly not a surprise as McCaffrey has found it hard to stay on the field this year. With the team in a freefall and the season winding down, there wasn't much incentive to bringing McCaffrey back after another injury even if he was healthy. Hubbard will now take over as the team's lead back and has flashed earlier this season as the RB1.
