Patriots | Drake Maye off the injury report, no game status for Sunday Fri Oct 16, 03:34 PM
Patriots QB Drake Maye is no longer on the injury report and carries no game status for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Maye has been on the injury report with a right shoulder injury for a few weeks, but it hasn't kept him from being the top-scoring fantasy quarterback for back-to-back weeks. Plug him into your lineup as an elite QB1. |

Bears | Caleb Williams questionable for Week 6 after full practice Fri Oct 16, 02:51 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game at the Falcons. Williams was a full participant in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Williams practiced in full all week. Ben Johnson doesn't like showing his cards when he doesn't have to. We expect that, barring a huge setback, Williams will be the Bears' starter on Sunday against the Falcons. |

Ravens | Tyler Huntley to start at Browns, Ravens 'won't bat an eye' Fri Oct 16, 01:30 PM
Ravens QB Tyler Huntley will start Sunday at the Browns, and head coach Jesse Minter said on Friday that the team "won't bat an eye" with Huntley under center. Huntley threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday's win over the Falcons.

Ravens | Lamar Jackson ruled out for Week 6 at Cleveland Fri Oct 16, 01:24 PM
The Ravens ruled out QB Lamar Jackson for Sunday's game at Cleveland because of his ankle injury. Jackson missed practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. QB Tyler Huntley is likely to start again in his place.
| Footballguys view: No shock here, as Jackson missed last week's game and all week of practice. Tyler Huntley will start in his place. He has high-end QB2 value and is a viable streamer, especially in two-quarterback leagues. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. off injury report, 'good to go' vs. Bears Fri Oct 16, 01:13 PM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (ribs) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's game against the Bears. Penix was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Penix exited late in last week's game after taking a shot to the ribs. Tua Tagovailoa came in and quickly ended the game with a horrific interception. Falcons fans will hope that's the last time they'll see Tagovailoa this season. Penix isn't much of a rusher, so this injury shouldn't impact his fantasy projection. He'll have a great matchup against a Bears secondary that's been getting gashed all year. He sneaks into the streamer discussion this week for managers with quarterbacks on bye. |

Seahawks | Macdonald says 'No. No.' to considering QB change from Darnold Fri Oct 16, 12:44 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Friday that he is not considering a change at quarterback, answering "No. No." when asked on Seattle Sports radio. Macdonald said he knows the team has a starting-caliber backup in QB Drew Lock but believes they can find solutions with QB Sam Darnold as their starter.
| Footballguys view: Benching a Super Bowl-winning quarterback after four full games the following season would be unheard of. Darnold hasn't recaptured the magic we saw last year, and he looked especially bad Thursday night, throwing two awful interceptions late in the game. But asking whether he should be benched is just local radio looking for a story. Darnold should start next week against the Chiefs. If he loses a few more games, the team may have to make difficult decisions. But it's too early now to worry about a benching. |

Panthers | Bryce Young carries no game designation, good to go Sunday Fri Oct 16, 12:26 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young carries no game designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles and is good to go. Young was a full participant in practice all week.
| Footballguys view: Young has been on the injury report with a knee issue since the lead-up to Week 4's game. It hasn't affected him, and he had last week's bye to rest. Young has been lights out to start this season. Get him in your lineup as a back-end QB1. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson misses third straight practice, Huntley likely to start again Fri Oct 16, 12:19 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was not present during the media viewing portion of Friday's practice, marking the third straight day this week he has not practiced, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported. Hensley said that indicates QB Tyler Huntley will likely start for the second straight week, with Baltimore at the Browns on Sunday. Jackson has not played since spraining his left ankle in an Oct. 4 win over the Titans. Huntley has won his last three starts as a fill-in for Jackson, with Baltimore averaging 33.7 points in those games.
| Footballguys view: The expectation is that Jackson will not play this week. While Huntley lowers projections a tad for the Ravens' pass catchers, his ability as a rusher makes him a very fantasy-friendly streamer. He'll be in the high-end QB2 discussion, and his upside was evident just last week. |

Eagles sign QB Joe Milton III off Cowboys practice squad with Hurts sidelined Fri Oct 16, 11:04 AM
The Eagles are signing QB Joe Milton III off the Cowboys practice squad to their 53-man roster, according to sources. With QB Jalen Hurts dealing with a superficial blood clot in his calf, Philadelphia now has Tanner McKee, rookie Cole Payton and Milton on the active roster.
| Footballguys view: Tanner McKee is set to start in Week 6, but Milton could quickly push for a start as soon as next week if Jalen Hurts remains sidelined. Milton brings a similar skill set to Hurts, possessing a big arm and rushing ability. He hasn't had much opportunity so far in his young NFL career, but his rushing upside would immediately make him a fantasy-viable quarterback if he gets the nod. It's too early to pick him up in most redraft leagues, but dynasty managers, especially in superflex leagues, should make him a priority addition. |

Bears | Caleb Williams 'do not know if I'm playing,' says hamstring was 'a pretty serious' tear Thu Oct 15, 07:31 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams said on Thursday, "Before you start asking, I do not know if I'm playing yet," despite two full practices this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, The Athletic's Dan Wiederer reported. He still has checkpoints to clear and a "stress test" to pass before he can play. He has missed the past three games since injuring his hamstring on a fourth-quarter scramble in the Week 2 loss to the Vikings, and he disputed reports of a strain: "It was a hamstring tear, and a pretty serious one." Williams declined to reveal the grade of the tear.

Broncos | Bo Nix's ankle 'healthy and good to go' but return from injury not complete Thu Oct 15, 04:49 PM
Broncos QB Bo Nix's ankle is "healthy and good to go" ahead of Thursday night's game against the Seahawks, but that "doesn't mean a return from an injury is complete," as mentally trusting it and taking hits take time. Nix needs to "let it rip" and also use his legs, while remaining in the pocket for the offense's concepts to work, especially with WR Jaylen Waddle, who "takes a second to get himself open."

Bears | Caleb Williams full again, 'on track to start' vs. Falcons Thu Oct 15, 03:31 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday for a second straight day, putting him on track to start Sunday's game against the Falcons. Williams missed Sunday's game against the Packers with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Bears here. The offense can be one of the most dangerous in the league when Williams is out there running the show. Hamstring injuries are tricky to deal with, but Williams is on track to start. If he practices fully on Friday with no setbacks, we've got him as a mid-range QB1 in Week 6. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. on the practice field again Thursday Thu Oct 15, 01:24 PM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. was on the practice field on Thursday. Penix is dealing with a rib injury but was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, and head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Penix will likely start, barring setbacks.
| Footballguys view: Penix is practicing in full as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Bears. It's good news for the Falcons, but Fantasy GMs should look at Penix as a QB2 or option in superflex formats. |

Buccaneers | OC Zac Robinson confirms Baker Mayfield won't play vs. Steelers Thu Oct 15, 01:19 PM
Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson confirmed on Thursday that QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) won't play this week. Mayfield attempted to get back for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Once again, we'll see QB Jalon Daniels starting in place of Mayfield. Daniels can keep plays alive but is limited as a passer. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts out with blood clot, Tanner McKee in line to start 'moving forward' Thu Oct 15, 01:07 PM
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers after a follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night revealed movement in a small, superficial blood clot, the team announced. The clot was found on an ultrasound in London before the Week 5 game against the Jaguars, after Hurts sought treatment for a calf injury he said came from being cleated in the Rams game. Doctors cleared him to play, and he played without limitation and practiced in full on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles said Hurts is out "as we determine the appropriate course of treatment." Hurts is expected to be out until the medical situation is resolved, with QB Tanner McKee taking over "moving forward." This team could have McKee as their starter for the foreseeable future. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson not present at start of Thursday's practice Thu Oct 15, 01:04 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was not present at the start of practice on Thursday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.

Eagles | Jalen Hurts out Sunday vs. Panthers with 'superficial blood clot' Thu Oct 15, 01:00 PM
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers because of a superficial blood clot, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday. According to a team statement, Hurts said he was cleated in the calf during the Rams game. An ultrasound in London last Saturday found the clot, but doctors concluded he could safely play, and he "played without limitation" Sunday against the Jaguars. A follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night "revealed movement in the small blood clot," and the team said Hurts will be out "as we determine the appropriate course of treatment."
| Footballguys view: Blood clots are nothing to mess around with. According to reports, the clot moved and that should be setting off alarm bells for team doctors. He will undergo treatment and has to be considered out for an undetermined amount of time. Tanner McKee is the starter while Hurts is recovering. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not practicing Thursday, Jalon Daniels to start vs. Steelers Thu Oct 15, 11:38 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) did not practice on Thursday, and rookie QB Jalon Daniels "will start vs the Steelers barring something unforeseen" in Sunday's Week 6 game. Daniels also started in Mayfield's place in Week 5 against the Cowboys. "Another week as the starter for Jalon Daniels," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport posted.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield is down this week, and he may not even return next week. We'll have to see what he can do in practice a week from now. Daniels can move around a bit, but his lacking of production as a passer makes him a streaming option in start-2QB/superflex leagues. |

Steelers | Aaron Rodgers has 'a lot of trust' in WR options amid injuries Thu Oct 15, 08:18 AM
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers said he has "a lot of trust in our options" at wide receiver as Pittsburgh deals with injuries at the position.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers are heading into Week 6 short on healthy wide receivers. Roman Wilson (finger) is expected to miss a couple of weeks, and Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said Ben Skowronek (leg) has been ruled out for Week 6. Rookie WR Germie Bernard is a player we like as a flex play with upside in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. |

Cardinals | Brissett says McBride's frustration was 'about the double-team stuff' Wed Oct 14, 05:48 PM
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett said on Wednesday that TE Trey McBride's frustration was "about the double-team stuff." "I had to bring the tablet over, and I'm like, 'Look, bro, I don't know what you want. I can't force that in and put the team in jeopardy,'" Brissett said. "He understands that. It's the competitor in him."
| Footballguys view: McBride is one of the most competitive players in the league, and that's why he's one of the best tight ends in the game. Brissett won't be too risky with the ball, and that has to be frustrating for a guy like McBride who feels like he can make a play regardless of the coverage... and he's not too far off in that sentiment. |

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Coach Jesse Minter said after practice that Jackson is considered day-to-day.

Cardinals | Cardinals not expected to turn to Carson Beck until 'late November' Wed Oct 14, 02:32 PM
The Cardinals are not expected to switch to rookie QB Carson Beck until late November, when their schedule eases, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported. "I absolutely expect the Cardinals to take a look at Beck at some point this season, though I've been told it might not happen until late November," Graziano said, pointing to a stretch of at Rams, vs. Broncos, at Cowboys, at Seahawks, vs. Rams and at Chiefs as "a bit of a gauntlet for a rookie QB." Graziano added that Beck could play sooner "especially if Brissett gets traded at the deadline," but "I don't get the sense the Cardinals are planning to rush this." Weinfuss echoed the report, saying he had said the same thing.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Miami, Beck could be a player you'd want to build around. They're good with Brissett as their starter for now, but it only makes sense to take a look at a young quarterback when the team is going nowhere in 2026. When Beck takes over, it would likely ding the fantasy value of Cardinals skill-position players. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson not present at start of Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 14, 01:20 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was not present at the start of the media viewing portion of practice on Wednesday.

Bears | Caleb Williams a full participant on Wednesday's estimated report Wed Oct 14, 12:09 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) will be listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, head coach Ben Johnson said.
| Footballguys view: Williams missed Sunday's loss to the Packers with the hamstring injury after being listed as questionable following a limited practice on Friday. He's getting closer to a return, and we should see the Bears' franchise quarterback in action on Sunday. If he plays against the Falcons, Williams should be considered a QB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. set to practice Wednesday despite rib injury Wed Oct 14, 11:59 AM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. is set to practice on Wednesday despite a rib injury. Rapoport called it "a good sign for his availability this weekend" for Sunday's game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Potentially good news for the Falcons here. Well, anything to keep Tua Tagovailoa off the field. Penix's rib injury was described as "not considered serious" on Monday after he left Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Penix is feeling better and will likely start Sunday against the Bears, assuming no setbacks, Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Wednesday. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders hires an agent while stuck behind Deshaun Watson Wed Oct 14, 11:25 AM
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders has hired an agent, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Sanders is the backup behind starting QB Deshaun Watson. WR Marvin Harrison Jr. hired a pair of agents last month to seek and facilitate a trade and has since been dealt from the Cardinals to the Texans. Earlier this month, the Browns were reported to "welcome a deal at the right price" for Sanders or QB Dillon Gabriel.
| Footballguys view: Even though he fell to the fifth round a year ago, there should be teams interested in Sanders. The Ravens did like him before the draft, so perhaps he could go there and learn behind Lamar Jackson. Sanders has talent as a passer, but so long as Watson is playing good ball, he won't get an opportunity to showcase his talent. We'll see if someone like the idea of adding Sanders as a developmental prospect. |

Giants didn't trade for McCarthy to supplant Winston or Dart; Dart 'long-term guy' Tue Oct 13, 01:32 PM
The Giants did not trade for QB J.J. McCarthy with the intention of supplanting QB Jameis Winston or QB Jaxson Dart, NFL insider Jordan Schultz said on Tuesday. Schultz said Dart remains the team's long-term quarterback.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy, according to Schultz, is additional insurance in case the injury bug hits the Giants' quarterback room again. However, the league insider acknowledged that if the wheels fall off on the Giants offense with Winston under center, things could change. For now, the Giants are simply evaluating what they have in McCarthy, who has a positive relationship with OC Matt Nagy. |

Malik Willis 'not seen throwing' at Dolphins bye-week practice Tue Oct 13, 10:53 AM
Dolphins QB Malik Willis was not seen throwing at the team's bye-week practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Willis took snaps and handoffs and performed an easy throwing motion with the ball in hand without releasing it. The bye-week day of drills is largely meant for players who have had limited playing time, so the fact that he's on the field is worth noting. That's especially true after coach Jeff Hafley gave the QB a vote of confidence when asked about Willis' job security on Monday. |

Rams | Stafford throws for 383 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Bills Tue Oct 13, 12:04 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 40 of 54 passes for 383 yards with 3 touchdowns in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 19.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.3.
| Footballguys view: Stafford couldn't quite pull out the win, but he still left SoFi Stadium with a historic NFL milestone under his belt. Stafford threw his 150th career touchdown with the Rams in the second half. That made Stafford the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 150 touchdown passes with two different franchises. He also finished Week 5 as the QB5 overall. |

Bills | Allen throws for 210 yards, a touchdown in win over Rams Tue Oct 13, 12:02 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception and added 10 carries for 121 yards and another touchdown in Monday's 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 22.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.5.
| Footballguys view: With DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer ruled out with shoulder injuries, the Bills passing attack was muzzled for most of the game. This wasn't much of a surprise. The same sort of thing happened in the second halves against Detroit and New England without Moore. Still, with Allen's receivers consistently unable to pop open downfield, the quarterback incorporated more scrambles into his repertoire than he has since Week 2. Allen ranked third among all Week 5 QBs. |

Bears | Ben Johnson won't commit to Bagent as backup: 'three guys that can win games' Mon Oct 12, 04:20 PM
Bears head coach Ben Johnson did not commit to QB Tyson Bagent as the starter if QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) can't play this week against the Falcons.
| Footballguys view: Asked on Monday whether Bagent is still the QB2, Johnson said, "We have three guys that can win games in this league." Bagent was benched during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Packers after throwing for 87 yards. He was replaced by Case Keenum, who didn't fare any better. Ideally, Williams returns, and the QB2 isn't an issue. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr.'s rib injury 'not considered serious', could play vs. Bears Mon Oct 12, 03:13 PM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.'s rib injury is not considered serious. Penix might be able to play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Bears, but the team wants to be cautious and see him practice this week before determining whether he will be able to play.
| Footballguys view: Penix said he expects to be "ready to go [this] week" after leaving Sunday's loss to the Ravens, and QB Tua Tagovailoa finished the game in overtime. Penix is obviously the preferred option. We'll continue to monitor his progress throughout the week. |

Dolphins | Hafley: 'Malik is our quarterback,' no thought of benching Willis Mon Oct 12, 02:53 PM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday there is no thought of benching QB Malik Willis at this point. "We've played five games, and Malik is our quarterback," Hafley said.
| Footballguys view: Sunday was Willis' 11th career start, so it's fair to say he's still developing at this level. According to ESPN.com's Marcel Louis-Jacques, Willis' willingness to extend every play for as long as he can doesn't always help the QB's cause. At the same time, his receivers struggled to create separation, and the offense doesn't seem comfortable when Willis is buying time. There was an expected learning curve this season, but the Dolphins enter the Week 6 bye with little to hang their hats on from the first month. Nonetheless, Hafley plans to stay the course. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. to undergo imaging Monday, expects to be 'ready to go next week' Mon Oct 12, 01:10 AM
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. will undergo further imaging on Monday after injuring his ribs on a big hit in the final moments of regulation in Sunday night's overtime loss to the Ravens. He does not believe the injury will keep him out long term: "Knowing me, I am going to be ready to go next week because I've sat out enough in my career."
| Footballguys view: Penix tried to work through the pain on the sideline but could not return for overtime, saying, "I did not feel like I was going to be able to give our team what we needed to be able to win that football game because of the pain that I was feeling." Tua Tagovailoa replaced Penix and threw an interception two plays into Atlanta's final drive. |
