Player Outlook
Hoyer will back up Jimmy Garoppolo after signing with Las Vegas this offseason. Hoyer spent the past three seasons as a backup for the Patriots, where he barely played. He hasn't attempted more than 24 passes since 2019 when he was with the Colts, and the last time he had over 200 pass attempts was in 2017 with New England. Ignore Hoyer in all Fantasy leagues on Draft Day.

  • Raiders' Brian Hoyer: Will serve as No. 2 QB

    Hoyer will serve as the Raiders' backup quarterback over Aidan O'Connell ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. The 16-year veteran seems to have won the second-string quarterback competition, as O'Connell is inactive for the second week in a row. Hoyer most recently started a game for the Patriots in 2022.

  • Raiders' Brian Hoyer: Favorite for backup role

    Hoyer is the favorite to win the backup job to Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) and will be part of the team's quarterback rotation at OTAs, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. Hoyer signed a two-year deal with the Raiders in April with the expectation that he would earn the backup job. It's a role that could be fairly significant if Garoppolo is not recovered from foot surgery by Week 1, although he is expected to be. Hoyer played under head coach Josh McDaniels in New England and should be familiar with the team's offense.

  • Raiders' Brian Hoyer: Inks with Raiders

    The Raiders signed Hoyer to a two-year contract Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Hoyer spent the last three years in New England, and he now reunites with coach Josh McDaniels in Las Vegas. The 37-year-old quarterback looks primed to operate as the top backup to Jimmy Garoppolo, though that could potentially change depending on the team's actions in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft.

  • Brian Hoyer: Let go by Patriots

    The Patriots have released Hoyer, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Following the release of Hoyer, Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe are the two quarterbacks currently on the Patriots' roster. Now that he's presumably past the concussion that landed him on IR last season, the 37-year-old Hoyer could potentially land a backup gig ahead of the coming season.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Set to be cut

    Hoyer (concussion) is expected to be released by the Patriots before March 15, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports. It's a bit of a surprising move given the Patriots wouldn't actually save any money by releasing the long-time veteran. Given the relative youth of both Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe, the expected two remaining QBs on the roster, it's entirely possible New England could opt to add an additional veteran if Hoyer is released, as has been reported.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Headed to IR

    The Patriots have placed Hoyer (concussion) on IR, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Now that Hoyer is slated to miss the next four games, the Patriots approach Week 5 action with Mac Jones iffy with an ankle injury, with Bailey Zappe thus in line to start at QB in Jones' place if he's unavailable Sunday versus the Lions. Meanwhile, Garrett Gilbert is a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad in advance of the contest.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Not practicing Thursday

    Hoyer (concussion) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Mac Jones (ankle), who was limited Wednesday, was present for Thursday's practice, but his status for Sunday's game against the Lions has yet to be cemented. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Jones and/or Hoyer will head into the weekend with a chance to play Week 5, but if neither are available rookie Bailey Zappe would be in line to fill in as the Patriots' starting QB versus Detroit.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Not practicing Wednesday

    Hoyer (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Fellow quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) was present for the session, but it's unclear if he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Lions. Meanwhile, Hoyer's status for the contest is also uncertain, and if neither of New England's top signal-callers are available this weekend, rookie Bailey Zappe would draw the start against Detroit.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Won't return Sunday

    Hoyer (head) won't return to Sunday's game against the Packers. It remains to be seen if Hoyer will be placed in the NFL's concussion protocol, but his status will need to be monitored ahead of next weekend's contest against the Lions. With Mac Jones (ankle) inactive versus Green Bay, Bailey Zappe is slated to remain at QB for the Patriots for rest of the day Sunday.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Set to start Sunday

    With Mac Jones (ankle) ruled out, Hoyer will start Sunday's game against the Packers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Though Jones made progress throughout the week, a reported high-ankle sprain will force him to miss at least one game. Hoyer thus represents a Week 4 lineup option for those who roster Jones or are in need of short-term help in two-QB formats. That said, in the absence of their starting signal-caller, Lazar anticipates that the Patriots figure to lean on the running back duo of Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson this weekend, a plausible scenario that limits Hoyer's fantasy upside.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Week 4 Waiver Priority List

    Mac Jones (ankle) is likely out for several weeks, so you might want to consider adding Hoyer in deep Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. He isn't likely to be a difference maker for Fantasy managers, but he could be useful during the upcoming bye weeks, depending on how long Jones is out. In Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, Hoyer is worth up to 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Could fill in for Jones

    Hoyer is a candidate to start Sunday's game against the Pacers with Mac Jones dealing with a high-ankle sprain that is likely to keep him sidelined for the contest, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Though a timetable for Jones' injury recovery hasn't yet been outlined, Hoyer appears on track to fill in at quarterback for the team Week 4, at a minimum. If that's the case, the veteran signal-caller will be an option for those who roster Jones or who play in two-QB fantasy formats.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Staying with Pats

    Hoyer is signing a a two-year, $4 million contract to stay with the Patriots, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. The 36-year-old backup QB has played for seven NFL teams, but the Patriots are the only one he's spent more than two seasons with. Despite that, Hoyer has made just one start in a New England uniform, and each of his five appearances last season came off the bench behind Mac Jones, who will be back in 2022 as the team's starting QB. That leaves Hoyer as the favorite for the No. 2 job, though the Patriots could add some competition before camp.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Returns to active roster

    Hoyer was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Hoyer hit the list Tuesday but has cleared the necessary protocols. He'll be on the sideline for Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Promoted to active roster

    Hoyer agreed to a deal with the Patriots on Saturday that will promote him to the 53-man roster, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Hoyer will serve as the backup to Mac Jones under center, as Jarrett Stidham (back) remains on the reserve/PUP list. The journeryman Hoyer last saw action on the field in Week 4 of 2020. He completed 15 of 25 passes for 130 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the contest.

  • Brian Hoyer: Headed back to practice squad

    Hoyer reverted from the active roster back to the practice squad Monday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports. Hoyer was elevated to the active roster Sunday in order to serve as the team's backup quarterback. He's likely to return to the same role for the New England in its Week 2 matchup against the Jets, and he could be signed to the active roster with Jarrett Stidham (back) sidelined through at least Week 6.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Elevated from practice squad

    Hoyer was elevated from the Patriots' practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Since Jarrett Stidham (back) is on the reserve/PUP list to begin the year, Hoyer will join the active roster for the season opener to serve as the primary backup to Mac Jones. The 35-year-old Hoyer appeared in one game for the Patriots last year and completed 15 of 24 passes for 130 yards and an interception.

  • Brian Hoyer: Joins Patriots' practice squad

    Hoyer agreed Wednesday to join New England's initial practice squad, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. As expected, the veteran quarterback -- who was let go during the team's Tuesday roster cuts -- has returned to New England in short order. Once New England's roster shuffling settles down, look for Hoyer to rejoin the team's active roster in order to serve as Mac Jones' top backup heading into Week 1.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Returns to New England

    The Patriots are re-signing Hoyer, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports. Hoyer's return suddenly gives New England one of the deepest quarterback rooms in the league, as the veteran likely slots in as the No. 4 option behind all of Cam Newton, Mac Jones and Jarrett Stidham. Last season, Hoyer served as the Patriot's third quarterback and logged a single start. It's unlikely that the team carries more than three signal-callers onto the regular season roster, so Hoyer could compete with Stidham for the final spot.

  • Patriots' Brian Hoyer: Inactive Sunday

    Hoyer is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos. As a result, Jarrett Stidham will back up Cam Newton, who is returning to action Sunday following a one-game absence.
