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.
The CoVid Kids
TE Travis Kelce KC
WR Cole Beasley BUF
RB Austin Ekeler LAC
WR Mike Williams, LAC
WR Jalen Guyton, LAC

Here's the guys who have either good matchups, or increased opportunity due to injury or CoVid inactives that could boost your roster after reading that depressing (and long) list.
RB Solutions
RB Justin Jackson, LAC
RB Jeff Wilson Jr, SF
RB Ronald Jones, TB
RB Rex Burkhead, HOU
RB Jamaal Williams, DET
WR Solutions
WR Antonio Brown, TB
WR Allen Lazard, GB
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET
WR Byron Pringle, KC
WR Josh Palmer, LAC
WR Josh Reynolds, DET
TE Solutions
TE Jared Cook, LAC
TE Harrison Bryant, CLE
TE Gerald Everett, SEA
QB Solutions
QB Josh Johnson, BAL
QB Zach Wilson, NYJ
QB Nick Foles, CHI
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!
