Eagles QB Jalen Hurts out for season with blood clots in lungs

Oct 19, 2026

Jalen Hurts will be out for the season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in his lungs.

Related players: Tanner McKee, Joe Milton

Fantasy Impact:

Hurts's agent released a statement that Hurts will continue to be around the team and get blood thinners, and has no function limitations. He'll have to avoid football activities. She added she expects Hurts to make a full recovery and it will have no long-term effects, which is obviously great news. From a fantasy angle, McKee should remain the starter for at least the short term. While he flashed at times in a loss to the Panthers, overall it wasn't a great performance. The Eagles signed Joe Milton away from the Cowboys last week, and with Hurts now out for the year and the Eagles sitting at 2-4, it wouldn't be a surprise for the Eagles to see what they have with Milton. The team has not signed Hurts to an extension at this point and those who follow the team will say there is a chance the Eagles move on from Hurts after this year. GM Howie Roseman has set the team up with several early draft picks over the next two seasons so it's also possible they make a move for a QB in the draft.

Colts fire GM Chris Ballard

Pro Football Talk

3 minutes ago

The Colts have made a major change in the wake of Sunday’s loss to the Titans.

Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon announced that they have fired General Manager Chris Ballard. Ballard had been in the job since 2017 and made the playoffs twice in his first four seasons, but have not been back since 2020 while cycling through a number of different quarterbacks.

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts dropped to 1-5 after a bad loss to the Titans on Sunday. Head coach Shane Steichen remains, but as the story points out he’s clearly on thin ice moving forward with Ballard already gone.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo surprised by lack of touches

Call him “Cam Skattebooooo” because the Giants turned him into a ghost.

Cam Skattebo knew ahead of Sunday’s game that he was not going to start and that his playing time would be diminished as a result of four fumbles in the first five games, but he wasn’t expecting to be limited to six offensive snaps (all in the first half) and no touches in the 34-27 loss to the Saints.

Related players: Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary

Fantasy Impact:

Skattebo fumbled with the Giants in field-goal range in overtime at the end of last week’s tie against the Commanders, we all remember. HC John Harbaugh, according to the story, said they did not bench Skattebo. However, as the story added, Skattebo went from 18.2 touches per game to zero. Harbaugh added it wasn't by design that Skattebo didn't get any touches. As the story also pointed out, the Giants buried Tracy on the depth chart after his mistakes, including fumbles, in the preseason and Week 1, and he led the backfield in touches this week and scored two touchdowns. Fantasy owners can't really trust Skattebo in lineups until we see his playing time increase. The good news is Tracy carried six times for 18 yards and Singletary had four carries for 14 yards, so it wasn't a successful day running the ball for the Giants without Skattebo.

Colts sticking with QB Daniel Jones

The Colts signed Daniel Jones to a two-year, $88 million extension in the offseason, even though he was returning from a torn right Achilles. It does not currently look like a good decision, but coach Shane Steichen is not wavering on Jones as his starter.

“I love Daniel, but we have to clean up the turnovers,” Steichen said after the 26-20 loss to the Titans, via Stephen Holder of ESPN.

Steichen, though, said the Colts are not making a change.

Related players: Anthony Richardson, Riley Leonard

Fantasy Impact:

Jones has multiple turnovers in three games this season and nine total turnovers after throwing two interceptions against the Titans, the story pointed out. Leonard has been inactive for games leaving Richardson as the backup. Jones owners may want to think backing themselves up with Richardson - just in case, especially in deeper leagues where there may not be better options on the wire.
