What's Happening?
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray missed practice on Thursday, raising doubts about their availability for Week 6 games. Jackson is dealing with a hamstring injury, while Murray is managing a foot injury sustained in Week 5. Both players are considered fantasy football starters, and their absence could affect fantasy lineups. If Jackson and Murray are unable to play, Cooper Rush and Jacoby Brissett are expected to start for the Ravens and Cardinals, respectively.
Why It's Important?
The potential absence of Jackson and Murray could significantly impact fantasy football managers who rely on these quarterbacks for their weekly lineups. Jackson's hamstring injury and Murray's foot injury could lead to changes in team strategies and affect the performance of their respective teams. Fantasy managers may need to explore alternative options, such as picking up Trevor Lawrence, Sam Darnold, or Spencer Rattler from the waiver wire to fill the quarterback position.
What's Next?
Fantasy football managers will need to monitor the injury status of Jackson and Murray closely as the week progresses. With only one day of official practice left, their participation in Sunday's games remains uncertain. Managers should be prepared to make last-minute adjustments to their lineups and consider backup options if Jackson and Murray are ruled out.
