To recap week six next on fantasy football today in five.

0:09.7

Welcome to FFT and five. I'm Chris Towers. I'm here with Adam Azer and we are recapping week

0:13.6

six and unfortunately Adam we got a lot of injuries to talk about. We had four different

0:19.7

starting quarterbacks leave games with what looked like,

0:24.3

at least three of them look like they could be fairly serious injuries.

0:27.0

Trevor Lawrence left that game late with a knee injury.

0:29.9

I don't know if that one was serious because it was like two minutes left in the game

and CJ Bathord just came into kneel on the ball.

1:15.8

But Titans are on a buy in week seven.

1:18.1

So Tanna Hill will have an extra week to get ready.

1:21.3

But yeah, none of these are are super impactful, except for Justin Fields, obviously.

1:25.6

And we wouldn't have any interest in

1:28.3

Tyson Badgant as his backup next week, right? No, no, I think really what you're talking about

1:35.3
