Dolphins to stick with QB Malik Willis

Oct 12, 2026

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley says there's no thought of benching Malik Willis at this point.

"We've played five games, and Malik is our quarterback."

Fantasy Impact:

Furones went on to post Hafley did not rule out the possibility of other major, wholesale changes on the bye. He didn't want to say yes or no as things will continue to be evaluated over the idle week. McCord is the backup. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 6 but Willis seems like he should survive any changes even after the bye as McCord won't necessarily give the Dolphins a better chance.

Saints: QB Tyler Shough has 'protective layers' on left hand

Kellen Moore was asked directly whether Tyler Shough's hand is broken: "It got banged two weeks ago and he's just wearing some protective layers there."

Fantasy Impact:

Shough put up his first clunker of the season in Week 5 throwing for just 96 yards and two interceptions. He did throw for 286 and a TD in Week 4. It remains to be seen how this affects Shough when he's back in action for Week 6. Owners may want to temper expectations for now and hopefully we get more information about the injury.

There is optimism in Atlanta that QB Michael Penix Jr. (ribs) will be able to play Sunday against the Bears, sources tell The Athletic. Penix missed overtime last night as the injury worsened as he sat.

Fantasy Impact:

Penix said after last night's game he didn't think the injury was serious or would be long term, which we cautioned against taking for certain. But it's good to see another report backing Penix's claim and it looks like he has a real chance to go in Week 6.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) day to day

Browns LB Carson Schwesinger and RB Quinshon Judkins, are day-to-day.

Related players: Raheim Sanders, Jaleel McLaughlin

Fantasy Impact:

Judkins walked out of the Jets stadium in right walking boots, the post went on to say. The good news is Judkins hasn't been ruled out for the Ravens game. The team is trying to get Judkins the ball but it's been a struggle. He's averaging just 3.03 YPC but does have 18 catches for 102 yards on 20 targets. His status will be worth monitoring heading into this week's game. Owners may want to make sure to grab Sanders just in case.
