Fantasy managers cope with injuries to key running backs in Week 4

Fantasy football managers are facing significant challenges as De'Von Achane, Breece Hall, and Travis Etienne Jr. suffered injuries during Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season. Achane is out for the season with a torn ACL, while Hall's thigh injury and Etienne's hamstring issue will also keep them sidelined. With the running back position already thin, finding reliable replacements is crucial for fantasy teams. Many will be tempted to acquire injury replacements, but expectations should be tempered as these players may not perform at the same level. As the NFL season progresses, careful assessment of waiver wire options will be essential for success in fantasy football.
