Rand Paul Out 3-6 Weeks, Expected To Return To Senate After Bye Week

Editor’s Note: The following was written by Harold Leeder, editor-in-chief of The New Circle Circular, Lexington’s #1 source of fake news you can’t count on.

Reports of Senator Rand Paul suffering an injury had been popping up all weekend but it has now been confirmed that the senator is expected to miss 3-6 weeks as he recovers from broken ribs. The doctor that made the tackle on Paul was in fact penalized for targeting and will have to sit out the first half of the next congressional session. The Senate announced that they would not be putting Paul on the IR and expect him back this season. Many political reporters have been calling for the Senator to slide more to avoid risking injuries and you can expect those calls to be louder than ever now, but Paul has insisted that this won’t change his governing style.

The injury has sent many Fantasy Senate Managers scrambling to the waiver wire to pick up a replacement. While the fringe senator is droppable in most leagues, savvy managers will want to pick him back up in a couple weeks to make a push for the playoffs as Paul carries value in both standard scoring leagues as well as PPR (Point Per Rand) leagues.

The senate will have to rely on a heavy dose of discussing tax reform during Paul’s absence. Paul, however, has said he plans to return to Capital Hill as soon as possible to begin rehabbing the injury.
