49ers | Brock Purdy to be limited Wednesday Wed Sep 17, 03:59 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder, toe) will be a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Sept. 17, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said it is possible that Purdy (toe) could serve as the No. 2 quarterback in Week 3 against the Cardinals. Turf toe injuries need to be managed properly, but it seems like Purdy is on the right track to return sooner rather than later. Keep him stashed on your bench. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (knee) may miss some practice time this week but should be ready to play in the Week 3 game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: We're feeling great here with the report Mayfield did not need to undergo any tests because of his injury. Against the Jets on Sunday, Mayfield should finish the week as a top-10 fantasy quarterback. |

Bengals | Window is open for a Joe Burrow return Wed Sep 17, 01:29 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (turf toe) will not be ruled out for the season, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
| Footballguys view: Burrow's surgery to repair this toe injury has yet to happen, but it should be sometime here in the near future. When the Bengals get to the end of the regular season, Burrow could be ready for a return. However, if they're out of the playoff picture then there would be no need for him to play in mid-to-late December. Jake Browning is the starter for most of his year and we'll see how quickly Burrow can recover from surgery after a few months. |

Commanders | Friday big day for Jayden Daniels Wed Sep 17, 12:36 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) had a good rehab session Wednesday, Sept. 17, and won't practice until Friday, Sept. 19, at the earliest, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Let's not get over the moon with this report. Daniels is unlikely to be ready to play for Week 3's contest against the Raiders. That means Marcus Mariota is next man up at the quarterback position. We've seen him look good in a Kliff Kingsbury offense, but it's likely to downgrade the numbers for Terry McLaurin, Zach Ertz, and Deebo Samuel. |
Jets | Tyrod Taylor to start in Week 3 Wed Sep 17, 12:33 PM
New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor will start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers present a tough challenge for the Jets this week. Taylor has a ton of experience and can use his legs to escape pressure. That makes him a consideration for Fantasy GMs in deeper superflex leagues. Adjust your expectations for WR Garrett Wilson this week as he might be best considered a WR2 with Taylor under center. |

Jets | Justin Fields ruled out Wed Sep 17, 12:31 PM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields (concussion) was ruled out for Week 3.
| Footballguys view: Fields sustained the first concussion of his pro career last week and is unable to get through the league's protocol in time to play in Week 3. That means the Jets turn to Tyrod Taylor as the starter. Taylor is a runner which makes him an option in deeper superflex leagues. Fantasy GMs with Garrett Wilson might think of him more as a WR2 with Taylor in the lineup. |

Vikings | Desmond Ridder signed to 53-man roster Tue Sep 16, 04:02 PM
Free-agent QB Desmond Ridder (Bengals) was signed by the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
| Footballguys view: By signing Ridder to the 53-man roster, not the practice squad, the Vikings gain flexibility to potentially have an experienced starter as QB2, rather than press an undrafted rookie, Max Brosmer, into action if something happens to Carson Wentz while a high-ankle sprain sidelines J.J. McCarthy. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow placed on injured reserve Tue Sep 16, 02:26 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (turf toe) was placed on injured reserve by the team on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
| Footballguys view: The move was expected after the turf toe injury Burrow suffered in Sunday's win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Monday, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Burrow will need surgery. The expectation is that Burrow will be out for a minimum of three months. Jake Browning will move into the starting lineup to replace Burrow. Brett Rypien was elevated from the practice squad to serve as Browning's backup. The team added quarterbacks Mike White and Sean Clifford to the practice squad. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts running plays coming Tue Sep 16, 12:41 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' lack of running plays or zone reads has been because of game flow or because of how they were defended, according to offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. 'Don't worry, they're coming,' Patullo said.
| Footballguys view: Hurts indirectly defended Patullo after the Week 2 win over the Chiefs by asking a pair of rhetorical questions: "Who knows who they are in Week 2? Who knows who they are in Week 1?" It's a fair point. We're early in the season, and Patullo is a first-year playcaller. Of course, all of this would be much less concerning to fantasy investors if Hurts weren't currently sitting as QB26. We'll continue to watch for the offense to come into focus as we get through September while acknowledging it's hard to sit Hurts as the Eagles sort through their issues. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy due back Oct. 19? Tue Sep 16, 11:55 AM
Updating previous reports, Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is expected to miss two to four weeks with a high-ankle sprain. ESPN insider Adam Schefter suggests that the Oct. 19 home game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6 is a plausible return date.
| Footballguys view: Carson Wentz is expected to start on Sunday against the Bengals. After that, the Vikings are scheduled to play against the Steelers in Dublin in Week 4. In Week 5, they face the Browns in London. One question is whether the Vikings will want McCarthy to travel overseas. As NFL Network's Tom Pelissero suggested, what you don't want to do with a high ankle sprain is get on an eight-hour flight that's going to cause swelling. So, missing the three-game stretch outlined makes a lot of sense. We'll continue to follow up. |
Jets | Justin Fields needs to practice to play Tue Sep 16, 11:24 AM
Updating previous reports, New York Jets QB Justin Fields (concussion) would need to practice no later than Thursday, Sept. 18, in order for head coach Aaron Glenn to be comfortable starting him in Week 3.
| Footballguys view: This was Fields' first documented concussion in the NFL, though he did have one at Ohio State. The NFL has a five-step protocol for concussions, and an independent neurologist must clear the player before returning to action. Tyrod Taylor, who missed the entire preseason due to arthroscopic knee surgery, has 58 career starts, but he hasn't started a game since 2023 with the New York Giants. He rode the Jets' bench last season, behind Aaron Rodgers, appearing only in mop-up situations. We'll be following Fields' progress closely in the coming days. |

Bengals | CIN adds two QBs Tue Sep 16, 10:10 AM
Free-agent QB Mike White (Bills) and QB Sean Clifford (Packers) signed with the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad Tuesday, Sept. 16.
| Footballguys view: The moves come in the wake of Joe Burrow's turf toe injury. Burrow is expected to miss at least three months. Jake Browning will replace Burrow as the starter, while Brett Rypien, who was signed on Aug. 27, is also on Cincinnati's practice squad. The Bengals typically carry two quarterbacks on the 53-player active roster while having another quarterback on their 16-player practice squad. "To me, you have to have three guys who are healthy and available to play," offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said Monday. Hopefully, the Bengals can avoid dipping into their newly-signed reserves. |
Raiders | Geno Smith endures brutal evening Tue Sep 16, 03:07 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith completed 24 of 43 passes for 180 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions in a 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith, who was sacked three times, also ran for 20 yards on five carries.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, Smith likely played his worst game since resurrecting his career with Pete Carroll in Seattle, throwing three picks and completing 24 of 43 passes for just 180 yards and a grimacing 37.0 passer rating. According to ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden, the QB was 0-for-12 on pass attempts for 10-plus air yards. That's a big difference from his performance against the New England Patriots in the season opener, when he went 9-for-14 on attempts for more than 10 yards. Smith and the Raiders will look to get back on track against the Commanders in Week 3. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert solid on Monday night Tue Sep 16, 01:53 AM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert connected on 19 of his 27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert also ran nine times for a team-high 31 yards.
| Footballguys view: Herbert has been excellent this season. He tossed a pair of touchdowns on Monday -- one to Keenan Allen and a 60-yarder to Quentin Johnston, for five in two games with no interceptions. Failing to salt away a win in the fourth quarter on three fruitless drives that added up to 11 plays for 29 yards and a lost fumble is troubling. Still, though, Herbert is playing arguably the best ball of his career and flourishing in a second year with offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Herbert is QB4 through two games. |

Texans | Another quiet outing for C.J. Stroud Tue Sep 16, 12:38 AM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 13 of 24 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown in a Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stroud added 27 yards on four rushes.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com noted, Stroud's accuracy was unquestionably an issue Monday night, but so was his lack of time in the pocket. Too often, Tampa Bay would dial up even the simplest of blitzes and earn quick pressures. It's entirely understandable that Stroud would struggle with accuracy under consistent pressure, but the real damage is done when the quarterback begins to miss throws when free from pressure. That is what happened far too often Monday night, a concerning sign for this offense even after just two weeks. We'll look for signs of improvement against the Jaguars in Week 3. |

Vikings | Coach expects J.J. McCarthy to avoid IR Tue Sep 16, 12:29 AM
Updating previous report, Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is not expected to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of his ankle injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: While the expectation isn't an IR stay, the team doesn't have an exact timeline for McCarthy's return yet. They'll see how he responds to treatment this week. "Hearing from our medical staff, it's one of those things that tends to be much worse today than it probably was in the moment for him, with adrenaline and everything," O'Connell said. The reported timeline is two to four weeks. Carson Wentz will start in McCarthy's absence. |
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield hangs tough in win Mon Sep 15, 11:01 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 25 of 38 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns against the Houston Texans in Week 2. Mayfield, who was sacked four times, had three rushing attempts for 33 yards.

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy expected to miss next game Mon Sep 15, 02:42 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is not expected to play in the Week 3 game because of a sprained ankle, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: The injury is not expected to be long-term, but it means Carson Wentz is Minnesota's likely starter for Week 3 against the Bengals. McCarthy played most of Sunday's game behind a patchwork offensive line after center Ryan Kelly and left tackle Justin Skule left Sunday's game early because of concussions, so that's worth watching as well. Wentz got starts with the Rams and Chiefs in Week 18 the last two years, with starters resting. Sunday, if McCarthy is out, will be Wentz's first start with a team at full strength since 2022 with the Commanders. |
49ers | Mac Jones elite on third down Mon Sep 15, 11:11 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones was 7-for-12 for 121 yards, three touchdowns and no INTs with a 132.3 passer rating on third down in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints.
| Footballguys view: To be fair, Jones was effective throughout. In particular, his ability to play the roll-out game fits well in Shanahan's system. Jones targeted the intermediate level of the field (10-19 air yards) on 35.9 percent of his attempts, his highest rate in a game since 2021. He completed 9 of 14 attempts when targeting the intermediate area for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Sunday marked only the second time in Jones' career he's thrown for 250-plus yards and three TDs (once in 2023). It wasn't all perfect, but Jones gives the 49ers a viable option when Brock Purdy can't go. |

Jets | Justin Fields in concussion protocol Mon Sep 15, 10:31 AM
New York Jets QB Justin Fields (concussion) is in the concussion protocol and out of practice Monday, Sept. 15. He will have to practice in order to play in Week 3, head coach Aaron Glenn said. QB Tyrod Taylor is being prepared to start this week in case he is needed.
| Footballguys view: Coach Aaron Glenn said Fields will continue to be evaluated. As previously noted, if Fields is unable to play Sunday at Tampa Bay, veteran backup Tyrod Taylor would start for New York. The Jets' next practice is Wednesday, and Glenn acknowledged Fields would need to be cleared from the concussion protocol and get in some time on the field if he's going to play against the Buccaneers. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow needs surgery, out three months Mon Sep 15, 08:58 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) will require surgery on his turf toe injury and miss a minimum of three months.
| Footballguys view: Burrow was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars. Backup Jake Browning has proven capable in the past. On Sunday, he was 21-of-32 passing for 241 yards, with three total touchdowns (and three interceptions). Adding optimism for fantasy investors, Ja'Marr Chase came through with 14 catches for 158 yards and a touchdown, and Tee Higgins broke free on a 42-yard score in the third quarter with Browning at the helm. The hope is that Browning can continue to drive and keep their values high over the next three months, and possibly more. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy has disastrous outing on SNF Mon Sep 15, 12:20 AM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed 11-of-21 passes for 158 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons, while running five times for 25 yards.
| Footballguys view: Six days after he erased three quarters of futility with three touchdowns in one quarter to lead the Vikings past the Bears, McCarthy had nothing to offer in this one. In the first half, he fumbled twice (both recovered by Minnesota), threw an interception, was sacked five times, and was pressured 11 times. While the Vikings' protection has to improve, so too does McCarthy's decision-making, accuracy, and overall play. He had an off-target rate of 24 percent; the league average in 2024 was 15 percent. McCarthy and the Vikings will try to regroup for Sunday's game against the Bengals. |
Panthers | Bryce Young goes over 300 yards Mon Sep 15, 12:19 AM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 35-of-55 passes for a career-high 328 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. He also ran twice for two yards, while he lost a fumble.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's David Newton notes, Young looked dreadful in the first quarter, committing two turnovers to give him five in his first five quarters this season. Then, in the second half, it all started to click. Young remained calm and steady, finishing with a career-high 328 passing yards and three touchdowns. Tetairoa McMillan posted six receptions for a game-high 100 yards, while Hunter Renfrow (2) and Chuba Hubbard had touchdown catches. The near comeback should provide some patience for Canales and Young. |
Bryce Young player page
Colts | Daniel Jones ends long drought Mon Sep 15, 12:18 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones topped 300 yards passing for the first time since 2023, completing 23 of his 34 passes for 316 yards and a touchdown in a 29-28 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. He also ran for a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Jones' skeptics were eager to see how he might handle the test presented by the Broncos' defense after he carved up Miami's unit in Week 1, and he thrived for a second straight week. Jones operated the Colts' attack comfortably, while avoiding major mistakes. As NFL.com suggested, we're starting to see why Shane Steichen chose Jones as his starter during the preseason. Steichen kept the pressure off Jones with a balanced approach, which leaned on Jonathan Taylor and his ever-present big-play threat. If Indianapolis can maintain this level of balance throughout the season, Jones could prove to be consistently effective. |

Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa goes over 300 yards Sun Sep 14, 09:14 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 26-of-32 passes for 315 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 2 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: After an abysmal performance last week, Tagovailoa threw for a pair of first-half touchdowns and looked more in sync with receivers Tyreek Hill (six catches, 109 yards) and Jaylen Waddle (five catches, 68 yards, TD). But Tagovailoa also badly overthrew a pass to Hill on Miami's potential go-ahead drive, was sacked on third down, and threw his third interception of the season on fourth down. It was an improvement over last week, but he faces a challenge against the Bills in Week 3. |
