Week 9 CFB injuries — how to translate statuses into prices
- QBs/OL: Confirmed QB returns can move 2–5 points; OL cluster absences suppress efficiency and red-zone finish.
- WR/DB rooms: Multiple DB absences raise explosive-pass risk; WR attrition concentrates targets rather than moving spreads alone.
- Totals first: Clearance of skill/QB often hits totals and 1H numbers before full-game sides fully adjust.
