🏈 Matchup Notes

Week 6 took a quarterback and a receiver off the board for a while. Jalen Hurts is on IR with a blood clot in his leg, and will miss the remainder of the season. Davante Adams ruptured his hamstring and is expected to miss 6 to 10 weeks. Monday night piled on, with Terry McLaurin carted off early and Mike Evans heading to the locker room with an Achilles issue. And if you rode the Rams in survivor, Arizona's 18-16 upset may have ended your run.
