NFL Players Leaving the League Due to Fantasy Draft

Several players in the NFL have left the game. Each of them had concerns about future injuries. However, they were drafted by fantasy football teams and immediately added to rosters. The issue now is they didn’t realize that they still need to be active in the NFL to be part of these teams.
