Stefon Diggs added to the Bills’ injury report. Limited today with a back injury. They play Monday, so his game status won’t be listed until tomorrow.

Related Players: Gabe Davis, Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield, Deonte Harty

It would be a bummer if he were to miss this game ahead of a cushy matchup against the Broncos' defense. If he's out, both Gabe Davis and Khalil Shakir should be thrust into respective WR2 and WR3 considerations.

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson says Zay Jones is a longshot to play Sunday. Tyson Campbell and Andre Cisco look ready.

Related Players: Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Evan Engram

Jones has only been involved in three games this season, opening the door for Jamal Agnew and Tim Jones to log more snaps. Kirk and Engram have continued to thrive in this offense after their respective breakouts in 2022.

The Giants are signing QB Matt Barkley from the practice squad to the active roster, source said. No surprise. He’ll take Daniel Jones’ roster spot as Jones heads to Injured Reserve.

Related Players: Tommy DeVito

DeVito still looks like he'll be the short-term starter, but that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Barkley could end up with the job at some point this season.

The Giants signed QB Jacob Eason and RB Hassan Hall to the practice squad.

Normally a practice squad QB signing isn't always fantasy-worthy news, but considering DeVito and Barkley are the QBs ahead of Eason, who knows what could happen for the rest of the season.

An MRI confirmed the Giants’ fears: QB Daniel Jones suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, per coach Brian Daboll.

Taylor is currently on IR with a rib injury and will miss at least three more weeks. So, the Giants will go with either DeVito or Barkley, or, it's possible they start - or eventually start - another QB who is not yet on the team. DeVito is likely to get the start in Week 10 until the Giants can figure out this mess. DeVito wasn't impressive in his debut when Taylor went down, throwing for -1 yard on seven attempts. He did rush for a TD. DeVito did throw for 175 yards and a TD this past week after Jones went down, but added two INTs in the loss.

The #Patriots waived QB/WR Malik Cunningham.

It's a bit of a shocker as Cunningham was recently the team's QB2 and seemingly a step away from starting with Jones struggling. Jones is coming off a good game against Buffalo and now Zappe or Grier look to be back in line as the backup to Jones.

Jaguars will work out quarterback Trevor Lawrence before tonight’s game to determine whether or not he can play versus the Saints with his knee sprain, per source. “It could easily be a game-time decision,” the source added. If Lawrence cannot play, C.J. Beathard would start.

Beathard is a capable backup, with 12 starts under his belt dating back to the 2017-2020 seasons with the 49ers. While you shouldn't feel compelled to put him in any fantasy lineups, he would hopefully not sink the pass-catchers too far if he is called upon for Week 7. Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk can still be considered low-end WR2s, while Evan Engram is a low-end TE1.

Jaguars’ QB Trevor Lawrence told reporters today that he’s “optimistic” he will play. Lawrence is dealing with a knee sprain.

Of course the timing for Lawrence is against him because of a Thursday night game against the Saints. He was listed as limited on Tuesday and was spotted wearing a knee brace, according to other reports, so it's at least a good sign for a Tuesday report.

As the Patriots try to avoid falling to 1-6 on Sunday against the Bills, Mac Jones will once again be the starting quarterback.

Via Dakota Randall of NESN.com, offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien told reporters on Tuesday that Jones will retain his job.

“Yes,” O’Brien said in response to the question of whether Jones will continue to start.

Related players: Malik Cunningham, Bailey Zappe, Will Grier

The story went to say O’Brien said Cunningham’s role will be determined on a “week to week” basis. Cunningham has leapfrogged Zappe, who served as the emergency quarterback on Sunday. Cunningham played on just six snaps last week.

The Giants worked out Matt Barkley. This is possibly a big development related to Daniel Jones’ timeline.

Duggan thinks if the Giants sign a vet QB, that would seemingly signal they’re expecting Jones to miss extended time. Jones is dealing with a neck injury and started trending in the wrong direction late last week, with the team saying he was more sore. We'll likely know more Wednesday when the injury report comes out, or if the Giants sign another QB before that.
