An apple a day...

Injuries happen. That's a given in any fantasy sport. What's not a given, though, is how hard you will get hit by the injury bug. And what's not a given is which players go down.

In our league, a team's keepers are usually his best players. Losing a keeper, in most cases, is the worst injury. Well this year keepers have gone down quite often. Of the league's 36 keepers, 15 have spent time on the disabled list this season (41.7%). Of those 15, 10 have spent an extended amount of time on the DL (at least a month).


Let's take a more extensive look at who has and who hasn't been fortunate when it comes to keeper injuries this season.

Hit the hardest? Adam, Andy and Jack, who each have had all three keepers on the DL. Adam has had all three out for extended periods of time.

Not affected by injuries (yet)? Bob, Joe and Rick - none of their keepers have been on the DL. Below, a look at each person's breakdown.
