The Omicron CoVid surge came at the worst possible time for fantasy managers, as several big stars are on the CoVid list right in the middle of fantasy playoffs. Rather than a start sit, we are compiling a list of solutions for various problems the exemptions may cause you. These are suggestions off the waiver wire, available in at least 50% of ESPN and NFL leagues, and are for desperate situations only of course. Many of us are desperate, however, and some of these subs could save your week.

Justin Jackson and Antonio Brown profile to have the greatest chance at breakout games because of their matchups, and the fact that Jackson has currently been taking on more of a role in LA regardless of Ekeler being active or not, and AB is finally back on the field as the only familiar target Brady has out there other than Gronk. Jared Cook could also benefit from a lack of pass catchers in LA, and Zach Wilson has the best matchup out of the waiver QBs if you are super desperate.
Good luck and hopefully we see you in the Super Bowl!
