As week 7 kicks off tonight with the Arizona Cardinals taking on the New Orleans Saints injuries will play a big role. The Cardinals are without WR Marquise Brown due to a fractured foot last weekend and may be looking to RB Eno Benjamin to tote the rock as RB James Conner is questionable as he continues to nurse his ankle injury.
On the other side of the ball, The Saints are still without WR Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry and Andy Dalton continues to lead the offense with Jameis on the sideline available but still recovering from his back and ankle injuries.
These teams aren't the only ones trying to capture wins with many of their stars on the bench. Offenses and defenses across the league will try to battle adversity this weekend and use the next man up mentality with decreased depth at many positions.

We are getting close to being halfway through the season and teams will start to pull away in their divisions over the next few weeks. Bye weeks will provide an escape to allow players to heal and teams will face more injuries as the NFL season pushes on. Good luck to your team and hopefully the odds will be in your favor!
