Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa to be emergency QB Wed Dec 17, 03:30 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will serve as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback in Week 16 with QB Zach Wilson being the primary backup during the game, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
| Footballguys view: Quinn Ewers gets to start in Week 16 against the Bengals. The Dolphins have gone with a run-heavy offense while Tagovailoa has been struggling. Expect that to be the case with the rookie QB Ewers getting the start. |

Raiders | Geno Smith could start Week 16 Wed Dec 17, 03:10 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (hand) could start Week 16, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: A clearly-not-100-percent Smith against the Texans elite defense is not good. Smith missed last week, and Kenny Pickett couldn't do much of anything against the Eagles. Downgrade all Raiders pass-catchers no matter who is starting. It's a little better with Smith over Pickett, but this matchup is just plain bad for the Raiders. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes placed on IR Wed Dec 17, 02:45 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Dec. 17.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes is on the long road back from his LCL/ACL injury. There's a chance he's ready for Week 1 of 2026, but that may be a bit too optimistic. He's already started his recovery, but this is an injury that might stretch into the 2026 season despite the positive reports. Updates next summer before training camp will be what Chiefs fans and Fantasy GMs are focused on. |

Jets | Brady Cook will start again Wed Dec 17, 02:21 PM
New York Jets QB Brady Cook will start again in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints.
| Footballguys view: That's not great Bob. It will be difficult to trust any Jets skill position player in Week 16 with Cook under center. Cook is a low-end QB2 from a fantasy perspective. |
Dolphins | Quinn Ewers takes over for Tua Tugovailoa Wed Dec 17, 10:05 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers was named the starting quarterback for Week 16 as QB Tua Tagovailoa has been benched.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa has been one of the most inefficient quarterbacks in all of football, so it's no surprise (especially after that game against the Steelers) this move is being made. There's a whopping $56.4 million cap hit in 2026, so Tagovailoa is likely sticking around whether or not he's starting. Ewers is a seventh-round pick (2025) out of Texas, and he looked good in the preseason. Expect a run-heavy offensive gameplan, which is something they've been doing recently anyway. |

Dolphins | McDaniel puts Tua Tagovailoa on notice Tue Dec 16, 02:26 PM
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said, 'Everything is on the table,' when asked about considering a change at the quarterback position from Tua Tagovailoa.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa was 6-of-10 for 65 yards and an interception through the first three quarters of Monday's 28-15 loss in Pittsburgh. He threw a pair of touchdowns and padded his stats once the team was down 28-3 in the fourth quarter, but the overall performance was a disappointing one, and the loss ended the Dolphins' chances of making it to the postseason. McDaniel said that he will spend the coming hours "trying to determine who gives us the best chance to win" and said he expects to have a decision on Wednesday. Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers are the other quarterback options in Miami. |

Link to story Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes undergoes successful surgery; rehab begins immediately Tue Dec 16, 02:17 AM
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes underwent successful surgery to repair his torn left ACL on Monday in Dallas, the team announced. Mahomes, who was injured during the Chiefs' loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, also had a torn LCL repaired during the procedure, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. "Patrick Mahomes successfully underwent surgery in Dallas this evening with Dr. Dan Cooper to repair the tear in his left ACL," the Chiefs statement read. "Mahomes will begin his rehab process immediately."
| Footballguys view: It's rare for a player to have such a major surgery the day after his injury is sustained. Still, as evidenced by Mahomes beginning his rehab immediately, the three-time Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl MVP is determined to be back on the field as soon as he can in the hopes of starting the 2026 season. While the LCL can complicate recovery, it doesn't necessarily extend his rehab longer than nine months or so. That would be the middle of September or right up against the start of the 2026 season. |

Colts | Philip Rivers to remain starter Mon Dec 15, 02:20 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers will be the starting quarterback for the Colts in Week 16, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: While Rivers threw a touchdown against the Seahawks Sunday -- in his first game action in five years, he also threw an interception and only managed to produce 120 passing yards and 6.3 fantasy points on the day. Things should get better as Rivers gets back into game shape, but SI.com's Nick Raducanu believes fantasy investors should be worried about Jonathan Taylor as defenses stack the box even more than they already were. The Colts play the 49erss this week. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy accounts for three TDs in Dallas Mon Dec 15, 12:06 AM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed 15 of 24 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. McCarthy also ran the ball four times for 15 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy was far from perfect, but he made more impactful throws than in any of his previous seven starts. As ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert noted, the Vikings' offense is built on chunk plays in the passing game, something McCarthy had not delivered in volume. But he completed five passes that traveled at least 15 yards in the air Sunday night, including a 58-yard throw to Jordan Addison and a 20-yard touchdown to Jalen Nailor. His 250 passing yards are a career high. The Vikings face the Giants in Week 16. |
