If you lost, that is okay; you still have a lot to play for to avoid whatever cruel punishment your kind and generous fantasy league manager conjured up during the draft. Ideally, your team is healthy at this point in the season, but in case it is not, here are some names to look for to help you out. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy (M
