We’re almost a third of the way through the 2026 season, and this season has been about as unpredictable and injury-riddled as I can remember. Jalen Hurts is the latest big-name player to find himself on the injury list (get well soon, Jalen), and last week we were without Lamar Jackson. Hopefully, neither injury keeps them out long. Whether you’re trying to find your replacement QB or looking for a bye week fill-in, as always, the DFF Crew has you covered. Let’s get after it!
