Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Appears primed for Week 5 start
Rotowire
Huntley took the reps with the first-team offense Wednesday and could be trending toward the start Sunday against the Falcons with Lamar Jackson (ankle) appearing unlikely to play, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
After Jackson sustained a left ankle sprain late in the second quarter of this past Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans, Huntley directed the offense for the entire second half, finishing with eight completions on nine attempts for 63 yards while adding 16 yards on four carries. While the Ravens haven't officially ruled Jackson out from playing against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed Tuesday that the two-time MVP has "only an outside chance" of suiting up this weekend. Jackson's absence from practice Wednesday is another strong sign that Huntley will be called upon to make the Week 5 start.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
If Lamar Jackson (ankle) can't play in Week 5 at Atlanta, then Huntley will start in his place, and he should be added in all Superflex and two-quarterback leagues for at least 15 percent of your remaining FAAB. Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Monday that Jackson's absence shouldn't be "crazy long-term," but you never know with ankle sprains. Huntley filled in for Jackson in Week 4 against Tennessee and was 8-of-9 passing for 63 yards and added 16 rushing yards. He appeared in five games for the Ravens in 2025 when Jackson was injured, but Huntley had just one outing with at least 20 Fantasy points (26.2 in Week 17 at Cleveland). He did rush for at least 20 yards in three of five games.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Needed in relief in Week 4
Rotowire
Huntley completed eight of nine passes for 63 yards while adding 16 yards on four carries in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans.
Lamar Jackson was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury on the Raven's final offensive play of the first half, putting Huntley under center for the final two quarters to protect a 24-7 lead. Given the circumstances, the veteran backup wasn't asked to do too much, but he was efficient when called upon to air it out and didn't commit any turnovers. Jackson was seen in a walking boot after the game, but per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, coach Jesse Minter isn't overly concerned about the issue and might have considered putting him back in had the score been closer. If Jackson isn't cleared to suit up in Week 5, Huntley will be running the offense on the road in Atlanta.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Perfect on only drive Friday
Rotowire
Huntley completed all four of his passes for 61 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 rushing yards on two carries in Friday's 41-3 preseason win over the Commanders.
The veteran backup QB was under center for only one possession, but Huntley set the tone for the night by leading an eight-play, 69-yard drive that culminated in a 25-yard TD strike to Chris Moore. Lamar Jackson is the undisputed starter under center for Baltimore, but he missed four games last season due to injury and dealt with significant absences in 2021 and 2022 as well. If Jackson gets banged up again, Huntley offers a reliable fallback option after completing 77.6 percent of his pass attempts (52-for-67) and committing zero turnovers in five appearances last year.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Crisp performance in preseason opener
Rotowire
Huntley completed six of seven passes for 76 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Ravens' 24-7 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday.
With Lamar Jackson inactive Saturday, Huntley started the game and was highly efficient during his time in the game. The veteran did take sacks on back-to-back plays during the opening possession, but he also recorded 29- and 18-yard completions in the contest. Huntley is seemingly locked in to serve as Jackson's primary backup again in 2026, so it's uncertain how much more action he'll see in the Ravens' final pair of exhibitions.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Huntley is expected to start Saturday's preseason opener against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran signal-caller returned to Baltimore last season after a one-year stopover in Miami in 2024, and Huntley is once again set to serve as the primary backup to Lamar Jackson this season. Huntley will likely see at least a couple of series Saturday before giving way to Joe Fagnano and potentially, the recently signed Austin Reed.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: To remain Jackson's backup
Rotowire
Huntley and the Ravens agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After rejoining the Ravens in October, Huntley served as the direct backup to Lamar Jackson most of the rest of last season, making five appearances (two starts) en route to completing 52 of 67 passes for 426 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushing 24 times for 151 yards and no scores. With this new deal, Huntley will remain the No. 2 QB in Baltimore the next two campaigns.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Manages Baltimore to win
Rotowire
Huntley completed 16 of 20 passes for 107 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 41-24 win over the Packers. He added eight rushes for 60 yards.
Derrick Henry powered the Baltimore offense, but Huntley did a passable job filling in for Lamar Jackson (back). He attempted passes almost exclusively in short areas of the field, with only three of his completions going for double-digit yards. Huntley did manage to connect with Zay Flowers for a 10-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter and also picked up 25 yards on a drive just before halftime to help set up another score. Overall, Huntley helped keep the offense on schedule, and he could be under center again for a potentially pivotal Week 18 matchup against Pittsburgh, pending the health of Jackson.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: In line to start for Jackson
Rotowire
With Lamar Jackson (back) inactive, Huntley is slated to start Saturday night's game against the Packers, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Huntley will be making his second start of the season, with Cooper Rush in line to back him up Saturday. While filling in for Jackson in Week 8, Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown and added 53 yards on eight carries in a 30-16 win over the Bears. This time around, in a game the Ravens need to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, the veteran signal-caller offers an alternative for those who would normally rely on Jackson in their fantasy lineups, are in Superflex formats or are otherwise in need of QB help in Week 17.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Fills in for Jackson
Rotowire
Huntley completed nine of 10 passes for 65 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added two rushes for two yards.
Huntley took over for an injured Lamar Jackson late in the second quarter and managed the team to a pair of scoring drives in the second half. While he passed for a modest yardage total, he kept the offense on schedule, showing strong rapport with DeAndre Hopkins in the process. It's unclear if Huntley will be called upon for Baltimore's Week 17 matchup against the Packers on Saturday night, though the offense may struggle to move the ball in a tough matchup if Jackson remains sidelined.

Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Starter for Week 8
Rotowire
Huntley will serve as the Ravens' starting quarterback against the Bears on Sunday after Lamar Jackson (hamstring) was ruled out, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed Saturday morning that Jackson's work with the scout team during Friday's practice indicated that he wouldn't be ready to return from a hamstring injury for Week 8. Jackson's practice participation Friday was downgraded from full to limited, and now that he's been officially ruled out, Huntley will get the start while Cooper Rush serves as the QB2. With Huntley under center, the Ravens may lean more heavily on Derrick Henry and Justice Hill to establish the running game.

Tyler Huntley: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Huntley reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Huntley appeared in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams, completing 10 of 15 passes for 68 yards. The quarterback also added 39 rushing yards on three rushes in the contest. Huntley replaced Cooper Rush in the fourth quarter, which appeared to be a benching of the latter, but head coach John Harbaugh clarified that the team planned to use both quarterbacks in the game, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports. With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) expected back following the team's Week 7 bye week, Huntley will likely remain with the practice squad moving forward.

Rotowire
Huntley completed 10 of 15 passes for 68 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams. He added three rushes for 39 yards.
Huntley took over for the benched Cooper Rush early in the fourth quarter and led a pair of lengthy drives, each of which stalled deep in Rams territory. While he was far from efficient, Huntley took care of the ball and also showcased some mobility, both of which could give him an advantage to serve as Lamar Jackson's (hamstring) backup in Week 8.

Tyler Huntley: Lands on Baltimore's practice squad
Rotowire
The Ravens are signing Huntley to the practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Huntley was cut by Cleveland on Sunday and now returns to a familiar situation as an emergency quarterback for the Ravens, for whom he handled a depth role from 2020-2023. Cooper Rush has operated as the top backup to Lamar Jackson throughout the offseason, but Huntley competing for that role as the season progresses wouldn't be inconceivable.

Tyler Huntley: Cut loose by Browns
Rotowire
Huntley was let go by Cleveland on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Huntley is the odd man out in the Browns' crowded QB room. The 27-year-old backup landed with Cleveland in early August as the team sorted through its options at signal-callers this preseason, joining at a time when both Kenny Pickett (hamstring) and third-round pick Dillon Gabriel were sidelined by injuries. Huntley then filled in as the backup quarterback during two preseason games -- once behind Gabriel and once more behind fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders. Joe Flacco since has been named Cleveland's starting QB, and, while the No. 2 quarterback spot still is up in the air, this job likely will go to either Pickett or Gabriel. Huntley has extensive experience as a backup quarterback who's filled in for injured starters over the past few years, including his time in Baltimore from 2021-2023 and in Miami last season. He'll look to catch on in a similar role elsewhere ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Browns' Tyler Huntley: Finishes up Saturday
Rotowire
Huntley completed 10 of 13 passes for 71 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Eagles.
For the second straight preseason game, Huntley backed up one of the Browns' rookie quarterbacks. Last week against Carolina, he entered following Shedeur Sanders (oblique), and then on Saturday, Huntley played the second half after rookie Dillon Gabriel, who overcome a hamstring injury during the week to start. That's all one needs to know regarding Huntley's chances of claiming a roster spot. Injuries have shaped Cleveland's quarterback competition this summer, but conventional wisdom suggests Joe Flacco, who is not injured, will start Week 1 of the regular season with Kenny Pickett (hamstring) the main backup and Gabriel or Sanders the third QB in the room.

Browns' Tyler Huntley: Another QB lands in Cleveland
Rotowire
Huntley signed with the Browns on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The signing comes as Kenny Pickett (hamstring), Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) and Shedeur Sanders (shoulder) are all dealing with injuries, per Schefter. In 2024, Huntley spent time with the Browns and appeared in five games with the Dolphins, recording 829 passing yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions. The quarterback would likely need a long-term injury to one or more of the Browns' current QBs to have a chance to stick with the team, as Joe Flacco appears to be the leader in the clubhouse for the starting role, and Gabriel and Sanders were both selected by Cleveland in the 2025 Draft.

Dolphins' Tyler Huntley: Set to start Sunday
Rotowire
With Tua Tagovailoa (hip) inactive, Huntley is slated to start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets.
While filling in for Tagovailoa in Miami's 20-3 win over the Browns in Week 17, Huntley completed 22 of his 26 pass attempts for 225 yards and a touchdown in addition to rushing seven times for 52 yards and another score. With Tagovailoa sidelined once again, Huntley will continue to helm the offense of the 8-8 Dolphins, who need a win (combined with a Denver loss) in order to qualify for a playoff spot. With that in mind, Huntley offers a lineup option for fantasy managers dealing with QB injuries or signal-callers resting in Week 18.
