There will be four teams on bye this week: the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles.
Here’s a look at key players from each team that you might have to replace in your lineup as a result:
Bengals: QB Joe Burrow, RBs Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard, WRs Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green.
Browns: QB Baker Mayfield, RB Kareem Hunt, WR Jarvis Landry, TE Austin Hooper
Rams: QB Jared Goff, RB Darrell Henderson, WRs Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp
Eagles: QB Carson Wentz, RBs Miles Sanders and Boston Scott, WR Travis Fulgham.
