Huntley completed 15 of 28 pass attempts for 146 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 40 yards on eight attempts in Saturday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.

The veteran backup made his first start of the season with the AFC's No. 1 seed opting to rest superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson for an inconsequential Week 18 matchup. Huntley was harassed in the pocket by T.J. Watt (knee) and Co. to the tune of four sacks for a combined loss of 28 yards. Huntley wound up throwing the Ravens' only touchdown in Saturday's defeat, adding 40 rushing yards with no turnovers to produce a modest fantasy score. The 26-year-old will report back to the sidelines when Jackson starts for Baltimore in the AFC divisional round.

Keenum (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Saturday's game against the Colts, but he will serve as the emergency third quarterback, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

Keenum will the the QB3 for the second straight week after starting in Weeks 15 and 16. He'll only enter Saturday's game if both C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills are forced to leave due to injury.

The Giants signed Eason to their active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Easmon rejoined the Giants' practice squad Thursday after being cut from the team Dec. 4. He'll likely operate as the QB3 behind Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Wilson (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

It's an uneventful end to what could realistically be Wilson's final season with the Jets. The third-year quarterback missed the final three games of the 2023 campaign due to a concussion, but given how Wilson was yo-yo'd in and out of the starting lineup since Week 11, it's fair to question if the team had whittled away the 24-year-old's confidence to the point of no return. With Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) set to start next season, it's unclear what the future holds for Wilson in a Jets uniform.

Lawrence (right shoulder/left finger) is listed as questionable but is pushing to play in Sunday's contest against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rapoport relays that Lawrence isn't at risk of further injuring his throwing shoulder, so his availability boils down to pain tolerance. The fact that the Jaguars can win the AFC South with a victory Sunday is another factor that would seemingly point toward Lawrence playing this week, though fantasy managers won't get official confirmation on that front until Jacksonville releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pickett (ankle) is listed as active Saturday at Baltimore, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

This marks Pickett's first game in which he'll be active since sustaining a high right-ankle sprain Week 13 against the Cardinals and undergoing surgery to repair it Dec. 6. However, he won't be the Steelers' starting quarterback, with Mason Rudolph handling those duties. Rudolph has fared fine in back-to-back starts, but it remains to be seen if he'll be on a short leash with the team seeking a playoff berth.

Trubisky (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Ravens, but he will be available as an emergency option, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official website reports.

Trubisky will only see the field if both Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett happen to get knocked out of the game. The veteran Trubisky started for a three-week stretch before getting demoted the previous two games.

The Rams elevated Winn to their active roster Saturday.

Winn's elevation will add some extra depth to Los Angeles' quarterback room due to Matthew Stafford (coach's decision) being likely missing the team's regular season finale. The UT Martin product is expected to serve as the Rams' No. 2 QB behind Carson Wentz in Week 18.

The Chiefs elevated Oladokun to their active roster Saturday.

The South Dakota State product is joining the Chiefs' active roster to ensure depth at quarterback, with Patrick Mahomes (ankle) likely missing the team's regular-season finale. Oladokun has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he's spent the entire year on Kansas City's practice squad and is expected to back up Blaine Gabbert in Week 18.

Hall has been demoted to third on the depth chart at quarterback for Sunday's game against the Lions, Jonathan Harrison of SI.com reports.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Thursday that Hall would be denied a second straight start in the regular-season finale, with Nick Mullens picking up the starting nod in his stead. O'Connell wouldn't initially commit to whether Hall or Joshua Dobbs would serve as Mullens' backup in Week 18, but the coach clarified following Friday's practice that Dobbs had moved up to the second spot on the depth chart. Hall is thus likely to be inactive Sunday as an emergency third quarterback and won't be eligible to play unless the Vikings lose both Mullens and Dobbs to injury.
