Fantasy Football Injury Updates: Week 6

Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Derek Carr is expected to miss multiple weeks after sustaining an oblique injury during Monday’s loss to the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact

After two stellar weeks leading the Saints’ offense, Carr’s performance fell off significantly in the last three weeks. When Carr exited Monday’s game, quarterback Jake Haener replaced him. However, rumors are circulating that the Saints are considering starting rookie Spencer Rattler instead. In the meantime, neither Haener nor Rattler will be comfortable starts in fantasy.
