Get an early start on your preparation for the upcoming week with the RotoViz Monday Review tool. In this weekly article, Blair Andrews reviews some of the most interesting observations from the tool and the last week in fantasy football.

Week 8 brought with it a number of depressing injuries and inactives. Derrick Henry is probably lost for the season.
