Major Training Camp Injuries to Monitor and the Top Four Hottest NFL QBs With Mina Kimes
The Ringer Fantasy Football ShowShow Notes
Training camp is underway, and the guys are digging through the biggest stories out of the first week of practices. Are the 49ers cursed (02:58)? How much impact is the substation (which looms over every 49ers practice) having on these injuries? After they break down Ricky Pearsall’s season-ending surgery, Heifetz expresses his concerns about the 2024 wide receiver class (16:14). Then, it looks like Aaron Donald is trending toward returning to the Rams to play alongside Myles Garrett this season (30:59). Is Los Angeles ruining sports? Michael Penix Jr. could be out for another month (39:22). What would a Tua-led Falcons team look like for fantasy? Then, at long last, the guys are joined by ESPN’s Mina Kimes to reveal the top four in the Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:01:30). After they reveal the winner of the rankings and thank Lorne, Heifetz reveals a new theme month after the triumph of Millennial Bangers.
