Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. officially named starting QB for Thursday night vs. Packers Mon Sep 21, 04:29 PM
Michael Penix Jr. has been named Atlanta's starting quarterback for Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.
| Footballguys view: Penix, who tore his ACL in November 2025 and missed the final seven games of last season, will make his first start of 2026 after being cleared for full practice work in the preseason. Cooper Rush started the last two games in place of Tua Tagovailoa, who has been out with an oblique injury since Week 1, but Penix is now ready to take over under center. Drake London and Kyle Pitts investors have reason for optimism. |

Browns | Monken signals Watson remains starter Mon Sep 21, 03:31 PM
Despite reports on Sunday that Cleveland would evaluate the quarterback position after Week 2 with an eye toward starting Shedeur Sanders in Week 3, Browns HC Todd Monken indicated Watson will start Cleveland's home opener against Carolina on Sunday, saying, "I still see him as a very young player that is going to continue to grow."
| Footballguys view: Monken named Watson the offensive player of the game after Sunday's 23-19 win over Tampa Bay, in which Watson went 24-of-30 for 238 yards with two touchdowns and added 22 rushing yards. Monken said, "I was happy for Deshaun. He made a number of plays with his legs. Played with confidence. He let it rip." It looks like Watson will get a chance to build on that in Week 3. |

Falcons | Stefanski could announce Week 3 starting QB today Mon Sep 21, 12:54 PM
Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday, "I have a decent idea of where we're going, but I've not yet talked to the players," regarding the team's Week 3 starting quarterback ahead of Thursday's game at Green Bay. Stefanski did say QB Michael Penix Jr. is "getting closer" and that an announcement on the starting quarterback could come as soon as later Monday after he addresses the team.
| Footballguys view: QB Cooper Rush has started the first two games while QB Tua Tagovailoa recovers from an oblique injury. Rush lost a fumble and threw an interception on the Falcons' first two drives against the Panthers. It was the first time the Falcons had two turnovers on back-to-back series to begin a game since 2007. Rush was later pulled for undrafted rookie Jack Strand, who threw a pick-six on his first attempt. ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Penix could start in Week 3, but it wouldn't be ideal. So we'll watch for more. |

Bears | Caleb Williams avoided serious injury, considered 'week-to-week' Mon Sep 21, 12:01 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams did not suffer a major hamstring injury, despite the injury initially appearing serious. Williams is not being ruled out for the Week 3 matchup against the Eagles on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: While he's not ruled out, Ben Johnson left plenty of wiggle room, characterizing his QB as "week-to-week" and suggesting Williams "will likely miss some time." So while he's not ruled out yet, Tyson Bagent seems more likely to be under center against the Eagles. We will, however, continue to watch Williams closely this week. |

Broncos | Waddle erupts for 138 yards in home debut, 'only the tip of the iceberg' Mon Sep 21, 12:15 AM
Broncos.com reports that Denver WR Jaylen Waddle caught eight of 10 targets for 138 yards, including a 49-yard catch, in the team's win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Head Coach Sean Payton called Waddle's impact "significant," noting "you can see the explosiveness, the run after the catch, all of those things. I'm glad he's ours." Waddle was awarded a game ball following the win. Waddle was WR9 overall through Sunday's late afternoon games. |

Cowboys | Prescott sets Cowboys franchise TD record with 4-TD game in Week 2 Mon Sep 21, 12:13 AM
Yahoo Sports reports that Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions in Week 2. The performance pushed Prescott past Tony Romo for the franchise's all-time career passing touchdown record.
| Footballguys view: Prescott needed to be everything for Dallas, completing better than 80 percent of his passes, throwing the four scores and running for 26 yards. The Cowboys want to be a team that relies on the running game to get things going. Through two games, that has not happened. Fortunately, Prescott can help fill that void. |

Chiefs | Mahomes throws for 382 yards, 3 TDs as Chiefs edge Colts 33-30 in OT Mon Sep 21, 12:02 AM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns as Kansas City defeated the Indianapolis Colts 33-30 in overtime. The win, which required every second of regulation and overtime, improves the Chiefs to 2-0 on the season.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes proved he's capable of carrying the Chiefs yet again to another dramatic win. In just his second game after recovering from the torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, Mahomes' totals are impressive. His 29 fantasy points against the Colts make him QB4 overall through Sunday night. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow; timetable to be determined Sun Sep 20, 08:14 PM
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left (non-throwing) elbow during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, with X-rays showing no fracture and further imaging planned for Monday.
| Footballguys view: Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota finished the game and is expected to start next week for Washington. It marks the second consecutive year Daniels has dislocated the same elbow; last season's injury cost him four games before a setback led to four more missed games. How much time Daniels misses now remains to be seen, but Quinn summed Daniels' injury up by saying, "It sucks." |

Seahawks | Smith-Njigba catches 9 for 155 yards, 3 TDs as Lock throws for 235 in rout Sun Sep 20, 07:52 PM
Seahawks.com reports that WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns, including an 82-yard score on Seattle's second offensive play, in a 31-7 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Starting in place of injured QB Sam Darnold, QB Drew Lock completed 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 139.1 passer rating. RB Emanuel Wilson led Seattle's rushing attack with 21 carries for 91 yards, while RB Jadarian Price added 52 yards on 13 carries before exiting with a chest injury. Seattle plays the Commanders in Week 3. |

Cowboys | Prescott throws 4 TDs, breaks Cowboys record as Daniels hurt in loss Sun Sep 20, 07:47 PM
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes, going 26-of-31 for 279 yards, as Dallas beat the Commanders 37-20.
| Footballguys view: Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk reports that Prescott passed Tony Romo for the franchise record with his 249th career touchdown pass, a 24-yard toss to WR CeeDee Lamb with 3:07 remaining, and now has a 23-2 record in division home games. Lamb caught eight passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys play the Ravens in Brazil next week. |

Raiders | Cousins throws three TDs as Raiders start 2-0 under Kubiak Sun Sep 20, 07:33 PM
Yahoo Sports reports that Raiders QB Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes as Las Vegas defeated the Chargers 26-14 to move to 2-0 on the season.
| Footballguys view: After Cousins raised concerns about his ability to generate explosive passing plays, he let the ball fly at SoFi. On attempts of 10-plus air yards, Cousins completed 8 of 12 passes for 181 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. He had two completions for more than 40 yards each, including a 40-yard touchdown pass to Tre Tucker. As ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden suggested, Cousins might not sling the ball like this every week, but at least he showed that he's still capable. |

Chargers | Herbert, Chargers fall apart in 4th quarter again, drop to 0-2 Sun Sep 20, 07:33 PM
Yahoo Sports reports that Chargers QB Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles offense unraveled in the fourth quarter of a 26-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com noted, Herbert disappointed yet again, throwing multiple interceptions for only the fifth time since the beginning of 2022. He seems out of sync with McDaniel's offense thus far, and he has a tough upcoming schedule (at the Bills, the Seahawks, and the Broncos). It would be wise to have a viable alternative on your roster in the short term. |

49ers | Purdy 'nearly perfect' as Niners score TD on all five red zone trips vs. Dolphins Sun Sep 20, 07:13 PM
Yahoo Sports reports that 49ers QB Brock Purdy was nearly perfect in San Francisco's blowout win over the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers offense rolled, scoring a touchdown on all five of their red zone trips during the game. Purdy's efficient performance helped power the lopsided victory. As ESPN.com noted, Purdy has back-to-back games with at least 20 fantasy points, and he's doing an excellent job spreading the ball around. After Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. starred in Week 1, it was George Kittle's turn today. The 49ers host the Cardinals next Sunday with Purdy locked in as a QB1 without reservation. |

Bears | Caleb Williams' hamstring injury 'could be better than expected' after scary run Sun Sep 20, 07:04 PM
The Athletic reports that QB Caleb William hamstring injury could have been worse, potentially involving his knee or Achilles, but preliminary indications point to a hamstring issue instead.
| Footballguys view: Bears coach Ben Johnson said after the game that they will know more about the injury on Monday, when Williams has an MRI. But Adam Jahns of CHGO_Sports reports that Williams (who didn't speak to reporters after the game) came through the locker room with media present. Per the report, Williams "was walking under his own power, no crutches or anything, maybe a slight limp." Williams was said to be in good spirits and ready to attack the recovery process. The Bears host the Eagles next Monday night. |

Jets | Smith: 'We had opportunities to close out the game' in OT loss to Packers Sun Sep 20, 06:58 PM
Jets.com reports that QB Geno Smith and the Jets blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday, September 20, as Green Bay's Trey Smack hit a 26-yard field goal to win it. Smith completed 27-of-41 passes for 247 yards and a 5-yard touchdown to WR Garrett Wilson, but was sacked four times and hit ten times. RB Breece Hall caught five passes including a 43-yard gain, while the Jets' run game was held to just 67 yards on 27 carries as Green Bay stacked the box. "We had the game right in our hands, and we didn't finish," Smith said. "There's tons of room for improvement, but the time is now, so we got to get it done." HC Aaron Glenn said, "I trust Geno... I think Geno was doing a solid job." The Jets, now 1-1, next travel to face the Lions in Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Adonai Mitchell played a big role in the passing game in the silver lining for this offense in fantasy circles, but Breece Hall was vultured in the red zone by Braelon Allen, although his passing game contributions helped him from being a bust. The Packers offense recovered from their collapse against Carson Wentz in Week 1 and will get the Falcons on Thursday. Geno Smith and the Jets offense will get a favorable matchup against the reeling Lions defense next week. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels suffers elbow injury vs. Cowboys in Week 2 Sun Sep 20, 05:59 PM
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered an elbow injury during the second quarter of Washington's Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Yahoo Sports. The injury was described as appearing gruesome on the play. Further updates on Daniels' status and the severity of the injury were not yet available.
| Footballguys view: Daniels' elbow bent backwards as he was bracing himself while falling on a goal line snap at the end of the first half because one of his guards stepped on his foot. This will almost certainly be a multi-week injury as it was the same elbow he dislocated last year. The injury takes the wind out of the sails of a Commanders offense that was outperforming expectations. Marcus Mariota will replace Daniels, and 2026 seventh round pick Atham Kaliakmanis will back him up against the Seahawks next week. |

Bears | Caleb Williams carted off with hamstring injury in loss to Vikings Sun Sep 20, 04:08 PM
Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk reports that Bears QB Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings. Williams pulled up while running and did not put weight on his right leg as trainers helped him off the field before he was taken to the locker room on a cart, though he gave the crowd a thumbs up. At the time of his exit, Williams was 15-of-26 for 138 yards with an interception and had rushed for 42 yards on five carries; backup QB Tyson Bagent replaced him and nearly led a comeback before being sacked on fourth-and-2 to end the game.
| Footballguys view: Judging by the reports of Williams in the locker room after the game, it doesn't sound like this is going to be a serious injury, but it will probably sideline him for multiple weeks. "We'll know tomorrow," Johnson said. "He's in good spirits. He's a team player... I'm actually happy it's nothing with the knee -- that was my first inclination. But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we'll see. We'll see how bad it is tomorrow and we'll go from there." Bagent can be a functional quarterback, but the upside for the Bears offense is greatly reduced without Williams mobility and playmaking threat. The Bears have a tough matchup against the Eagles next week, so the Bears passing game could be a Week 3 avoid. |

Steelers | Rodgers admits Steelers offense isn't playing 'winning football' in loss to Patriots Sun Sep 20, 03:58 PM
Jason Owens of Yahoo Sports reports that Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers acknowledged after Sunday's 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots that his offense isn't playing 'winning football.' New England QB Drake Maye wasn't great for the second straight game in 2026, but the Patriots' defense dominated Rodgers and the Steelers offense throughout the contest. The Patriots' defensive effort was enough to secure the win despite Maye's uneven performance.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers offense only putting up 13 points on the Falcons defense in Week 1 looks like a sign that they were in trouble in hindsight. Rodgers reunion with Mike McCarthy is more about how the game has passed him by than their ability to rekindle some magic. The Bengals D/ST is a better start than any Steelers offensive player in their matchup next week. |

Texans | Stroud throws for 353 yards in loss to Bengals Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 30 of 55 passes for 353 yards and added 3 times for 29 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.0.
| Footballguys view: The Texans offense was stopped at the one on fourth down and had multiple field goal attempts come up empty, so 55 passes attempts didn't result in a single touchdown or a close game even though the Texans defense did their part and held Joe Burrow to 20 points. Stroud isn't an attractive streaming QB1 against the Colts next week unless Nico Collins (who is clearly sorely missed) returns. |

Panthers | Young throws for 287 yards, three touchdowns in win over Falcons Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 23 of 36 passes for 287 yards with 3 touchdowns in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 17.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.1.
| Footballguys view: Young is usually a great fantasy play in Atlanta, and this game was no exception to that rule. The Falcons defense is not as good as the Steelers offense made them look in Week 1, so expect a big game on Thursday night from Jordan Love and the Packers passing game. |

Browns | Browns to re-evaluate QB after Week 2, could pave way for Sanders' home start Sun Sep 20, 10:14 AM
Chris Cwik of Yahoo Sports reports that the Cleveland Browns plan to re-evaluate their starting quarterback situation after Week 2, which could set up Browns QB Shedeur Sanders to start in Week 3. Cleveland's first home game of the season comes in Week 3, potentially providing the stage for a Sanders debut as the starter.
| Footballguys view: This should come as no surprise, both considering Watson's play so far this season and how the home crowd received him in the preseason. Sanders would boost the value of the whole offense simply because he is willing to hang in and throw downfield. The Panthers defense would be his first matchup if he starts in Week 3. |

Falcons | Michael Penix could return as Falcons' starting QB as soon as Week 3 vs. Packers Sun Sep 20, 09:08 AM
Yahoo Sports reports that Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. could take over as the team's starting quarterback as soon as Thursday night's Week 3 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Penix had previously been ruled out for Week 2, with Cooper Rush starting in his place for a second straight game. Penix has reportedly been nearing a return from his injury.
| Footballguys view: Penix's return can't come soon enough for Falcons fans and anyone who has a Falcon on their fantasy team. With Atlanta playing on Thursday, we should get an update on this situation early in the week. |

Bengals | Zac Taylor 'feels good' about Burrow's status for Houston matchup Sat Sep 19, 04:14 PM
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said he "feels good" about QB Joe Burrow's availability heading into the Week 2 matchup against Houston. Burrow, who is officially listed as questionable, practiced fully on Friday, September 18, and is expected to play. The Bengals travel to Houston with lingering questions surrounding the roster.
| Footballguys view: Burrow called the idea of him missing Week 2 "ridiculous," and now Taylor backs up those sentiments. A back injury is something to keep an eye on, but it sounds like Burrow is good to go. He's a QB1 as per usual. |

Seahawks | QB Sam Darnold ruled out for Week 2 Sat Sep 19, 02:15 AM
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) is listed as out on the Week 2 injury report. Darnold did not participate in Saturday's practice.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Darnold was always likely to miss Week 2, but there's been optimism since he sustained the injury that he could be back within a month. Reports indicate Darnold might also miss Week 3, but if he does, he shouldn't be out much longer than that. We'll see Drew Lock get the start for the Seahawks with Jalen Milroe as the No.2 quarterback. |

Falcons | Penix Jr. officially out, Tagovailoa doubtful; Rush confirmed as Week 2 starter Fri Sep 18, 05:52 PM
Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk reports that, with Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) ruled out for Sunday's game and with QB Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) listed as doubtful, Cooper Rush is officially set to start, with Jack Strand as his backup.
| Footballguys view: Penix has practiced in full for back-to-back weeks, but he still seems to have some mental hurdles as he recovers from his third ACL tear. Last week's showing with Cooper Rush starting was abysmal. Drake London and Kyle Pitts were consistently open, and Rush couldn't get them the ball. Kyle Pitts is unstartable this week, and London can be played as a shaky WR2. Bijan Robinson should run all over a defense that the Bears just carved up for 291 yards last week, and he's an elite RB1. Managers who drafted London or Pitts can only hope Penix is back in Week 3. |

Yahoo Sports reports that Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy has been demoted to third string on Minnesota's depth chart.

Jets | Cade Klubnik the backup Tue Sep 1, 09:43 AM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik will be the backup quarterback to QB Geno Smith to start the season, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik, a fourth-round pick from Clemson, is the only backup on the 53-man roster. Geno Smith, 35, will start the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Bailey Zappe, released Sunday, is expected to return to the practice squad. Ostensibly, Klubnik, Zappe, and Brady Cook competed for the No. 2 job, but it was clear from the outset that it was Klubnik's job to lose. The Jets believe Klubnik will benefit from being the No. 2 quarterback because of the extra practice reps. |

Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck (rib) will participate in practice Monday, Aug. 31, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Beck, who suffered a rib injury in the team's first preseason game, has been sidelined since then -- but is trending in the right direction. Asked if Arizona would look to add another quarterback to the roster after keeping three on the active roster in Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, and Beck- LaFleur said Beck would be "full go." The coach added, "I mean, obviously we're not tackling or anything like that, but he'll be ready to roll." The Cardinals do not have a game this week, though Arizona will be practicing with the regular season just around the corner. |
Vikings | Max Brosmer off roster Mon Aug 31, 03:38 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Max Brosmer was waived Monday, Aug. 31.
Link to story Vikings | J.J. McCarthy may miss a few weeks Mon Aug 31, 01:40 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) will likely be sidelined for several weeks because of his ankle injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Despite rumblings that suggested McCarthy could be cut or traded by Sunday's roster deadline, the former first-round pick made the Vikings' initial 53-man roster. McCarthy opened camp with a chance to compete with Kyler Murray for the starting job, but never managed to make the battle interesting. As preseason progressed, reports suggested Minnesota might move McCarthy to an interested suitor (like the Los Angeles Chargers, led by McCarthy's collegiate coach, Jim Harbaugh) by the end of the month. But for now, McCarthy is QB3 in Minnesota behind Murray and Carson Wentz. |

Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel (back) was placed on the reserve/injured list Sunday, Aug. 30, with a designation to return. He must miss the first four games of the regular season. As such, rookie QB Taylen Green opens the season as the No. 3 quarterback.
| Footballguys view: We wouldn't be surprised to see one or both Green and Gabriel to start at some point this season. The Browns solved the problem of how to keep four quarterbacks on the roster, but they will need to open up a roster spot for Gabriel during the season if they plan on using him. |
Browns | Taylen Green makes 53-man roster in Cleveland Sun Aug 30, 04:52 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Taylen Green made the initial 53-man roster Sunday, Aug. 30, and he will serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind starter QB Deshaun Watson and backup QB Shedeur Sanders, with QB Dillon Gabriel (back) on the reserve/injured list to start.
| Footballguys view: Green is a size/speed freak athlete in the mold of Terrelle Pryor. He is probably even more raw than Pryor was coming into the league, but the Browns may want to see what they have in him before they inevitably take a quarterback in the first round next year. Green should be on a roster in superflex dynasty leagues. |
