    Show notes

    Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season, Davante Adams faces a six-to-10-week absence, and Cam Skattebo’s workload has disappeared. Judy Adabie breaks down Monday’s NFL news, fantasy news, and NFL injury news as fantasy managers prepare for Week 7.

    We discuss Tanner McKee as a Hurts replacement, Demario Douglas after Romeo Doubs lands on injured reserve, and Washington’s backfield following Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s move to IR. Plus, the Giants’ quarterback uncertainty with Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy—and why their crowded running back rotation is difficult to trust.

    Get updates on Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Rashod Bateman, and Josh Jacobs, along with Tank Dell’s planned return and Jordan Mason’s practice window. We also cover the Rams’ need for a new kicker after Blake Grupe’s season-ending injury.
