  Giants | Tommy DeVito gets the Week 14 nod    Tue Dec 5, 03:38 PM

New York Giants QB Tommy DeVito will remain the starting quarterback in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers despite Tyrod Taylor's return to practice this week following his stint on the Reserve/Injured list due to multiple broken ribs.

Footballguys view: DeVito has looked better as he gets more time under center. Tyrod Taylor is coming back from his ribs injury, but for Monday night in Week 14 against the Packers we'll see DeVito as the Giants' starter once again.

New York Jets QB Tim Boyle was released Tuesday, Dec. 5. The Jets signed QB Brett Rypien off the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad to their 53-man roster.

Footballguys view: Boyle was terrible as the Jets' starter, which everyone could have guessed... except the Jets who wanted to get away from Zach Wilson as their starter. Now, the team has reportedly asked Wilson to be their starter again. We can only say, sorry Jets fans.

  Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence not done    Tue Dec 5, 11:16 AM

Updating previous reports, Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) did not suffer a season-ending ankle injury.

Footballguys view: We'll see CJ Beathard as the team's starter while Lawrence is on the mend. Lawrence reportedly has a high-ankle sprain, and that type of injury can linger. It could keep him out a month, but perhaps Lawrence could return sooner than that. Stay tuned.

  Saints | Jameis Winston may start in Week 14    Tue Dec 5, 10:43 AM

New Orleans Saints QB Jameis Winston will be the starting quarterback in Week 14 if QB Derek Carr (concussion, ribs) is not able to play, according to head coach Dennis Allen.

Footballguys view: Carr could play, but we are not sure yet if he can make it through the league's concussion protocol. With two concussions in a month, it's likely best for Carr to miss some time. In start-2QB/Superflex leagues, go ahead and add Winston as a streaming option.

  Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence on crutches after game    Tue Dec 5, 12:22 AM

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) was using crutches and he had his injured right ankle in a walking boot after the Week 13 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Lawrence was able to stand on the ankle, but he was trying not to put a lot of pressure to walk on it.

  Steelers | Kenny Pickett not practicing    Mon Dec 4, 03:03 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 4. The Steelers held a walkthrough Monday so participation levels are estimations.

  Jets | Zach Wilson 'reluctant' to play?    Mon Dec 4, 01:37 PM

New York Jets QB Zach Wilson is 'reluctant to stepping back in' as the starter, according to sources Monday, Dec. 4.

Footballguys view: Wilson was benched for Tim Boyle, and it was a surprise to no one that Boyle is not good either. The team has turned to Trevor Siemian, and he's not a great option either. If Wilson is 'reluctant' then he will be earning a reputation that he does not want in this league. His play was already bad enough, but in his second stop - which should be coming in 2024 - it would benefit him if he had a reputation as a 'team first' guy.

  Steelers | Trace McSorley joins Pittsburgh    Mon Dec 4, 01:22 PM

Free-agent QB Trace McSorley (Bears) is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad, according to sources Monday, Dec. 4.

Footballguys view: With Kenny Pickett (ankle surgery) out of action for around a month, the Steelers need more depth at the position. Mitchell Trubisky will be the team's starter, and McSorley will compete in a reserve role/scout team quarterback.

Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol Monday, Dec. 4.

Footballguys view: Thompson-Robinson was knocked out against the Broncos in Week 12, and he missed Week 13 while in the league's protocol. We'll see what he looks like this week if he's allowed to practice. For now, Joe Flacco is the Browns' starter.

  Steelers | Kenny Pickett ruled out    Mon Dec 4, 12:41 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) had surgery on his ankle Monday, Dec. 4, and has officially been ruled out for Thursday, Dec. 7, against the New England Patriots.

Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Pickett is out for at least a month, but the full extent of the injury is not known. There's a chance we won't see Pickett the rest of this season.

  Jets | Tim Boyle not sharp before getting benched vs. ATL    Mon Dec 4, 10:50 AM

New York Jets QB Tim Boyle finished 14-of-25 for 148 yards and no touchdowns with one interception before he was replaced by Trevor Siemian in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. Boyle ran for two yards on his only carry.

Footballguys view: The guy who was not good in college is not good in the pros. In other news, water is wet. The Jets should have known better, but they wanted to get away from Zach Wilson as their starter. Now, rumblings have surfaced that Wilson is 'reluctant' to get back out there as the top quarterback. We could see Trevor Siemian as the starter unless Aaron Rodgers makes his miraculous comeback.

  Steelers | Kenny Pickett to have ankle surgery    Mon Dec 4, 10:29 AM

Updating earlier reports, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) is scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure on his injured right ankle on Monday, Dec. 4.

Footballguys view: Pickett is expected to miss two to four weeks, though the full extent of the injury won't be known until the surgery is completed, so he could be out longer. There is a possibility we won't see Pickett for the rest of the 2023 season.

  Giants | Tyrod Taylor's window opens    Mon Dec 4, 10:15 AM

New York Giants QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 4.

Footballguys view: We'll know see if the Giants make a change at the starting quarterback spot. Tommy DeVito has filled in with flashed of both good and bad while Taylor has been out. Taylor is the better player, and he's certainly more experienced, but the Giants may want to stick with DeVito.

  Steelers | Kenny Pickett to avoid IR    Mon Dec 4, 08:41 AM

Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) is not expected to go on the Reserve/Injured list after ankle surgery.

Footballguys view: There are only five weeks left in the regular season. Injured Reserve would shut him down for at least four weeks. The extent of his ankle injury is not known, but he's already had surgery and now is out for at least two weeks. Pickett could be out four weeks, and there's a chance we don't see him again in 2023 as the Steelers may get bounced from the playoff hunt with Mitchell Trubisky as their starter.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray completed 13-of-23 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while adding nine runs for 20 yards.

Footballguys view: Murray was quiet for fantasy in part because the Cardinals surprising controlled this choppy game that was marred by two weather delays. He had two deep connections with Rondale Moore, one was dropped and the other was nullified by penalty, and he was without #1 receiver Marquise Brown for most of the game. Hopefully he'll be throwing to a healthier set of receivers after the bye next week.

  Texans | C.J. Stroud throws for 274 yards    Sun Dec 3, 04:55 PM

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud went 16-for-27 for 274 yards and one touchdown against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He also rushed for 11 yards on six carries during the game.

Footballguys view: The Broncos defense is for real after having 70 points hung on them by Miami earlier this season. Stroud was contained except on big passes downfield to Nico Collins and he lost Tank Dell during this game. With the pesky Jets defense up next, Stroud might not be a fantasy QB1 for Week 14.

  Commanders | Limited passing yardage for Sam Howell    Sun Dec 3, 04:38 PM

Washington Commanders QB Sam Howell completed 12-of-23 passes for 127 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, although he did salvage the stat line with four runs for 21 yards and two touchdowns.

Footballguys view: Howell's two rushing scores saved anymore who started him, because the passing game was sporadic and ineffective against the Dolphins. Howell has been good for a third day pick, but hasn't been consistent enough to be considered a possible franchise quarterback this year. The Commanders play out the string in what might be the end of the Ron Rivera era after a bye next week.

Footballguys view: Most of the Broncos offense fell on Wilson's shoulders in this one, and he got the team within one play of beating the Texans on the road. He'll be a viable QB2/Superflex against the Chargers next week.
