Marcus Mariota placed on IR with quad injury

Sep 18, 2021

After running 31 yards on a designed quarterback keep in his only snap of Monday's showdown against the Ravens, Mariota will sit on IR for the next 3 weeks. He will be eligible to return Week 5 against the Bears. Expect Jon Gruden's golden boy, Nathan Peterman, to slide in as David Carr's primary backup.

49ers GM John Lynch with the biggest endorsement of QB Brock Purdy as a starter yet: "I think Brock has earned the right with the way he played that he’s probably the leader in the clubhouse at that...if we were to line up, he’d probably take that first snap."

Related Players: Trey Lance

Fantasy Impact:

Purdy performed admirably when given the chance last season, but this is far from the last we are going to hear about the 49ers' quarterback situation. Stay tuned.

Sean Payton pointing to Jarrett Stidham being an "important signing" AND saying the team believes he can become an NFL starting QB.

Related Players: Russell Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

It seems like Payton is already planting seeds in case Russell Wilson duplicates his 2022 performance. It's worth keeping an eye on, and Stidham should be on Dynasty Superflex rosters.

The Panthers aren’t done adding on offense, agreeing to terms with WR D.J. Chark on a 1-year deal. A complete remake of the Carolina offense is underway, and Chark will be a big part. As will their new rookie QB.

Related Players: Adam Thielen, Terrace Marshall

Fantasy Impact:

This signing immensely helps in shaping the team's three-wide sets with Chark, Thielen and Marshall. None of the three are necessarily fantasy targets until we see how the market for them plays out, but it's looking better for the soon-to-be rookie quarterback.
