Ravens | Tyler Huntley done for the day after Fagnano enters as emergency QB Sun Nov 1, 02:12 PM
Ravens QB Tyler Huntley (toe) is done for the day in Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bills. His questionable-to-return tag was more an update on his condition than on his chances of returning. Rookie QB Joe Fagnano entered as the emergency quarterback, which rules Huntley out for the rest of the game. RB Justice Hill is now the backup to Fagnano, per the broadcast.

Ravens | Tyler Huntley injures toe, out for the game Sun Nov 1, 02:09 PM
Ravens QB Tyler Huntley has a toe injury and will not return to Sunday's game against the Bills. Huntley entered the game after QB Lamar Jackson hurt his thumb on the first play.
| Footballguys view: Huntley was 2-4 for zero yards and coughed up the ball on a sack for the short time that was he in against the Bills. UDFA Joe Fagnano is in and will be a 2QB/Superflex league pickup unless we get better than expected news about Huntley and Lamar Jackson (thumb) injuries from Week 8. Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry values take big hits in fantasy leagues for any games that Fagnano starts. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson ruled out vs. Bills with thumb injury after first pass attempt Sun Nov 1, 01:35 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills with a thumb injury. Jackson went to the locker room after injuring his throwing hand on his first pass attempt of the game, and his return might have lasted just a single play.
| Footballguys view: Jackson's return was all too brief. We saw Baker Mayfield miss three games with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand earlier this season. Expect a multi-week absence for Jackson as we wait for more specific news on the nature of this injury. This whole offense takes a big hit for as long as Jackson is out. Tyler Huntley replaced him and promptly left the game with a toe injury. UDFA rookie Joe Fagnano replaced Huntley as the Ravens season has taken a turn for the worse in Buffalo. |

Bengals | Burrow says replacing All, Hudson at TE will 'have to be by committee' Sun Nov 1, 11:27 AM
Bengals rookie TE Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick from Texas with 10 NFL scrimmage snaps, and blocking TE Cam Grandy, who was signed off the Vikings practice squad last week, will supplement Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample in Sunday's game against the Titans following the year-ending losses of TEs Erick All Jr. and Tanner Hudson. "Those are two huge losses for us that you can't really replace with just two guys. It's going to have to be by committee," QB Joe Burrow said. Burrow said of Endries, "All the things that we talk about in the pass game, Jack seems to see it and feel it like a quarterback does," adding that he "also brings some toughness, I think, in the run game as well."

Raiders | Raiders plan to play Kirk Cousins 'as long as possible', don't blame him for slide Sun Nov 1, 07:07 AM
The Raiders' plan continues to be to play QB Kirk Cousins as long as possible, and the team does not believe he is to blame for its recent struggles after a 3-0 start. Cousins leads the NFL with 16 touchdown passes, ranks third in the league with 1,817 passing yards and has thrown only five interceptions through seven games.

Colts | Colts haven't discussed benching Daniel Jones, but 2027 injury guarantee could factor Sat Oct 31, 08:49 AM
The Colts haven't discussed benching QB Daniel Jones, who is still working back from a torn Achilles and has been playing with depleted weapons. However, a $10.51 million 2027 injury guarantee in Jones' contract could become a factor if and when Indianapolis is out of playoff contention.
| Footballguys view: Colts HC Shane Steichen said this week that he has a 'ton of faith' in Jones. That's a great sentiment, but most feel that a switch to Anthony Richardson could be coming in the near future. Once the 2-5 Colts are officially eliminated from playoff contention, Jones could find his way to the bench. |

Patrick Mahomes II off injury report, set to play Sunday Fri Oct 30, 03:44 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II (knee) is off the injury report and set to play Sunday against the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes has been on the injury report every week this year since last year's season-ending ACL tear, but it hasn't impacted his ability to practice or play. Despite two down games, he's a high-end QB2 this week, with Rashee Rice expected back in the fold. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson set to return Sunday at Bills: 'We do think we will have Lamar' Fri Oct 30, 01:29 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is set to return for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bills after missing the last three games with a high ankle sprain. "We do think we will have Lamar this game," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said on Friday. Jackson was a full participant in practice again Friday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.
| Footballguys view: Jackson looked close to returning last week and logged full practices all of this week. The Bills have found themselves in plenty of barn burners this year, and this matchup against a potent Ravens offense could be another. Get Jackson in your lineup as an elite QB1. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson a full participant for second straight day Thu Oct 29, 04:40 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was a full participant in practice on Thursday. It was his second straight full session after he also practiced fully on Wednesday.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Mayfield was also a full participant on Wednesday. He wore a glove on his dislocated thumb in last Sunday's win over the Panthers. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Mayfield throws it more than 11 times this week. Against the Falcons in Week 8, Mayfield should be a QB2. We like Egbuka in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins wants to give Jalen Nailor more opportunities: 'He's separating' Wed Oct 28, 05:33 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins said on Wednesday that WR Jalen Nailor has been getting open and needs more chances in the offense. "When you watch the tape, you see him separating. I've told him you're doing a lot of good things. I need to give you opportunities to make it right," Cousins said, pointing to a late route against the Bills on which he overthrew Nailor and to "a couple of other examples" in Sunday's loss to the Rams. "He's beating his guy. That's all he can do. And then it's our job to give him opportunities to make plays," Cousins added.
| Footballguys view: He's running the routes, but the Raiders aren't getting him the ball much. Nailor caught 2-of-5 targets for 14 yards in the Raiders' Week 7 loss against the Rams. He's yet to be a waiver-wire addition, but that could change if Cousins starts sending it in his direction. |

Chargers | Chargers sticking with Mike McDaniel as play-caller coming out of bye at 0-6 Wed Oct 28, 05:29 PM
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Wednesday that offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will continue calling plays after the team's 0-6 start and Week 7 bye. "We're very confident in Mike and his talent, his work ethic and his ability," Harbaugh said, per The Athletic. "We continue to be." QB Justin Herbert has completed 59.4% of his passes with five touchdowns and eight interceptions, tied for the league high, and has been sacked 21 times, while the Chargers rank last in the NFL in points per game (15) heading into Sunday's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers want to simplify some things on offense coming out of the bye. We imagine the team will use less pre-snap motion, and they should emphasize the rushing attack. These things are part of what can get Herbert looking good again. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson a full participant in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 28, 05:21 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Jackson has been dealing with an ankle injury and was expected to return for the Ravens' Week 8 game at the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Jackson should be back in Week 8 against the Bills. He has missed time with this ankle injury, but the hope is that he's as close to 100% healthy as possible. In what could be a shootout against Josh Allen, Jackson is a must-start QB1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 8. |

| Footballguys view: Mayfield completed 7-of-11 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs' 43-13 Week 7 win over the Panthers. They should have him throwing a bit more this week, and we've got him in the QB2 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 8. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins remains starter; Mendoza will play 'at some point,' not this week Mon Oct 26, 03:54 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak opened his press conference on Monday by saying, before anyone could ask, that QB Kirk Cousins is the team's starter. "Fernando is going to play at some point, but it's not going to be this week," Kubiak said of QB Fernando Mendoza. Kubiak also said Cousins is playing at a very high level.
| Footballguys view: Through seven games, Cousins has thrown for 1,877 yards, a league-leading 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He has thrown seven TDs in the past four games (all losses) after nine in the first three (all wins). But Cousins is not this team's biggest problem, and Kubiak knows that. It doesn't mean the Raiders won't make a switch at some point. But all indications are that the team would like to hold off on throwing Mendoza into the fray as long as possible. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson in 'decent spot' to play Week 8 at Bills, more known Wednesday Mon Oct 26, 03:08 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Monday that QB Lamar Jackson will be in a "decent spot" as far as playing Sunday in Buffalo, but the team will know more about Jackson's status on Wednesday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.
| Footballguys view: Jackson, who's missed the last three games, returned to work on a limited basis last week. After Friday's practice, Jackson didn't look like a quarterback who was close to full strength, limping to the lectern for his media session. He was also not seen as players walked off the field Friday, which suggests he did not finish practice. Jackson said Friday that he was "heading in the right direction" and the decision would come down to pain tolerance. It's reasonable to hope the improvement continues as preparations to take on the Bills begin. Expect regular updates all week. |

Texans | Caserio on Stroud contract: 'Couldn't quite come to agreement,' 'nobody is discouraged' Mon Oct 26, 11:20 AM
Texans GM Nick Caserio said Monday that the team and QB C.J. Stroud "couldn't quite come to agreement" on a contract extension. "There wasn't any reluctance," Caserio said. "Nobody is discouraged. Have a lot of respect for C.J. and David (Mulugheta). At some point, it will take care of itself."
| Footballguys view: The 25-year-old Stroud is playing out the season on the final year of his four-year, $36.28 million rookie contract, and Houston already picked up his $25.9 million fully guaranteed fifth-year option for 2027. While Stroud has been great for fantasy managers, he's currently QB7 with 1,867 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and one interception; Houston is just 2-5 after entering the season considered to be among the Super Bowl favorites. Stroud and the Texans will use the bye week to regroup before returning in Week 9 to try to get their season back on track. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins on possible Mendoza switch: 'If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there' Sun Oct 25, 10:13 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins addressed the possibility of being replaced by rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, saying, "If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there."
| Footballguys view: After three straight wins to start the season, the decision to ride with Cousins was looking like the wise choice. Now that the Raiders have lost four in a row, it's fair to wonder whether the time for Mendoza, the first-pick overall in April's draft, to take over the starting job is coming. The Raiders play the Jets in Week 8. |
