Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Monday that the team would evaluate its options at quarterback after Jake Browning’s struggles while filling in for the injured Joe Burrow.

According to multiple reports, the Bengals have agreed to acquire Joe Flacco from the Browns.

Fantasy Impact:

Cincinnati will receive Flacco and a sixth-round pick in exchange for a fifth-round pick to complete the rare intra-AFC North trade. We just reported a story earlier today saying if the Bengals do make a change, it will be a QB from outside team who gets the start. Flacco should give the Bengals a steadier option at the position until Burrow is able to return in December. The story pointed out, it's unclear just how long it may take Flacco to get up to speed and if the team will push him to start this week. We'll likely learn more about that as the week goes on.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley expected to play despite 'general soreness'

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley popped up on Monday’s practice report with a knee injury and was estimated as a non-participant.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Barkley has “general soreness” and expects to play in Thursday Night Football against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact:

Barkley was listed as a DNP for Monday ahead of Thursday night's game against his former team, the Giants. Ironically, Barkley's snap percentage has been down from last year. The story pointed out Barkley played 85% of the snaps through this point last year compared to 72% this season.

Cardinals will monitor QB Kyler Murray's foot injury

Kyler Murray (foot) will be monitored.

Related players: Jacoby Brissett

Fantasy Impact:

Murray was seemingly injured on the play where the snapped ball hit him in the face and the Cardinals lost possession. Murray was shown heading for the locker room but was able to return for the team's next possession after missing a couple of plays. One would assume Murray will be good to go for Week 6, but since the team is monitoring him, we will as well.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (knee) listed as DNP Monday

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was listed as DNP Monday with a knee injury.

Related players: Will Shipley, A.J. Dillon, Tank Bigsby

Fantasy Impact:

This will be one to watch on a short week against the Giants. Barkley hasn't been much of a factor in the run game this season after going over 2,000 yards last year. He did catch a TD pass in Week 5's loss to the Broncos. We'll keep an eye on this one. If Barkley can't go on a short week, Dillon and Shipley will likely split the workload and Bigsby could be a factor as well.
