  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Getting first-team snaps

    Brissett took most of the first-team snaps during the media-access portion of practice Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    The implication is that Brissett is preparing for a third straight start in place of Kyler Murray (foot), although gamesmanship by coach Jonathan Gannon can't be ruled out at this point. Whatever the case, it's a tough situation for fantasy managers with the Cardinals facing the Cowboys on Monday Night Football this week. Gannon said Thursday that he was preparing Murray to start, while reports from Thursday's practice suggested Murray mostly worked with backups (the same thing was reported Friday).

  • Joe Flacco QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Flacco: Questionable for Sunday

    Coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Flacco (right shoulder) will be questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Taylor noted that Flacco looked good at Thursday's practice, but he added that the Bengals will "see where it goes" in terms of the veteran QB's ability to start versus Chicago. Fortunately for those considering Flacco in Week 9 fantasy lineups, Cincinnati kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. In the event that Flacco isn't available, the team would turn to Jake Browning, who Flacco supplanted as the team's top signal-caller not long after being acquired in a trade with the Browns on Oct. 7.

  • Andy Dalton QB | CAR

    Panthers' Andy Dalton: Questionable for Week 9

    Dalton (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Dalton came out of last Sunday's spot start against the Bills with a right thumb injury that limited his practice reps this week. Hendon Hooker or Mike White will handle backup duties behind Bryce Young if Dalton isn't available.

  • Joe Flacco QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Flacco: Feels good, Week 9 status TBD

    Flacco, who is dealing with a right throwing shoulder issue, noted Friday that he feels "pretty good," Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    According to Baby, Flacco's injury is described as sprained AC joint, but the QB was able to log a limited practice Thursday. Unless he's able to work fully Friday, however, Flacco figures to carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, but at this stage it appears as though he has a chance to avoid missing a start due to his shoulder concern.

  • Bryce Young QB | CAR

    Panthers' Bryce Young: Cleared to play

    Young (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    He'll return to the starting job after missing just one game with a high-ankle sprain. Even if Young is back at full strength, he's looking at an uphill battle to post strong numbers for Week 9, playing behind an injury-riddled offensive line as a 12.5-point underdog against a top defense.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Named as Week 9 starter

    Daniels will start Sunday's game against the Seahawks,

    He returned to full practice participation Wednesday after missing the loss at Kansas City on Monday. Daniels made it through the week without any setbacks and will now return to the starting lineup, leading an offense that won't have WR Terry McLaurin (out - quadriceps) in Week 9.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Can't produce points in loss

    Tagovailoa completed 25 of 40 passes for 261 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding one rush for one yard in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Tagovailoa's completion percentage and passing yardage numbers weren't objectionable from a fantasy standpoint, but his real-world impact on the Dolphins offense was middling. To be fair, Tagovailoa also was victimized by a couple of fumbles -- the second by Malik Washington early in the fourth quarter on the Ravens' 11-yard line to short-circuit a 12-play, 81-yard drive -- as well as a missed field goal by Riley Patterson. Tagovailoa now has sandwiched a pair of games with zero touchdown passes around the four scoring tosses he recorded against the Falcons in Week 8, and he's up to 11 interceptions on the campaign heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 9.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Four TD tosses in return

    Jackson (hamstring) completed 18 of 23 passes for 204 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding five rushes for 14 yards in the Ravens' 28-6 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

    Making his return from a three-game absence, Jackson turned in one of his signature efficient performances in front of his hometown crowd. The two-time MVP didn't show any evidence of rust, throwing a two-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews to cap off a short second possession for Baltimore set up by a Tahj Washington fumble. Jackson connected with Andrews again from 20 yards out in the second quarter before launching scoring strikes to Charlie Kolar (three yards) and Rashod Bateman (nine yards) in the third quarter on the way to a comfortable win. The game marked Jackson's second of four touchdown passes this season, as well as his fourth with a 70.0 percent or better completion rate. Apparently back to full health, Jackson regains his status as an elite fantasy option heading into an intriguing Week 10 road interconference matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 9.

  • Quinn Ewers QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Quinn Ewers: Emergency QB vs. Baltimore

    Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback against the Ravens on Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Ewers will serve as the QB3 behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson for a second consecutive game. Ewers will not be allowed to play Thursday unless Tagovailoa and Wilson are both removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Cooper Rush QB | BAL

    Ravens' Cooper Rush: Emergency QB for TNF

    Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Dolphins but will serve as the Ravens' emergency third quarterback.

    Rush was the Ravens' starting QB for Weeks 5 and 6 but was demoted to backup duties behind Tyler Huntley for Week 8 against the Bears. With Lamar Jackson cleared to return from a three-game absence Thursday, Huntley will operate as the backup while Rush serves as the emergency third quarterback. As such, Rush will be permitted to see the field Thursday only if Jackson and Huntley were both removed due to injury, illness or ejection.
