According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Minnesota Vikings will be looking to acquire a quarterback via trade before Tuesday's NFL Trade Deadline. Carson Wentz completed only eight of his 25 pass attempts on Monday Night Football against the Bills, totaling only 81 passing yards and throwing a pair of interceptions. The Vikings were held to two field goals in their 23-6 home loss. Minnesota's defense has been elite this year, and they have a strong group of pass-catchers led by Justin Jefferson. However, the offense has been held back by mediocre QB play from Wentz and Kyler Murray (hamstring). Murray is dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and could miss multiple games, and if a new QB came in and played well, he could earn the starting role for the rest of the season. Some of the potentially available options include Daniel Jones of the Colts and Kirk Cousins of the Raiders, who each have some history with the team and current coaching staff.--Zach Thompson

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz completed eight of 25 passes for 81 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions in his team's 23-6 loss to the visiting Buffalo Bills. He gained no yards on his sole rush and was also credited with a fumble lost. Wentz got the starting nod in relief of teammate Kyler Murray (hamstring), who was unable to go after a week of DNPs. The veteran was flat-out abysmal in this one, unable to orchestrate a single touchdown drive. Wentz was eventually benched for Max Brosmer late in the fourth quarter, though it's worth mentioning that the former did get checked out for an injury in the blue medical tent at one point. Either way, it was a forgettable performance that hurt the offense's output. This could be Wentz's last start, depending on Murray's status moving forward. Still, it's fair to wonder whether he'd be benched in favor of Brosmer after the dreadful outing anyway. Minnesota is slated for a road matchup with the Green Bay Packers next Sunday.--Alex Ciulla

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 21 of 31 passes for 234 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his team's 23-6 road win against the Minnesota Vikings. He added 15 yards on six carries. It may not have been the heroic effort fantasy managers have grown accustomed to, but Allen overcame one of the league's most formidable defenses. The California native was under duress all night, taking 11 hits and getting sacked four times. However, he logged his eighth straight game with at least 200 passing yards, and played well enough to get the job done. Unfortunately, Allen's fantasy output was his worst of the season, despite helping his team to a stellar 7-1 start. He figures to rebound in a slightly softer matchup next weekend when Buffalo takes on the New York Jets on the road.--Alex Ciulla

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck is expected to take over as the starter for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Gardner Minshew II (elbow) could miss the rest of the season following a torn UCL during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. There's a decent chance that Beck is going to be the starter for the rest of the season. The rookie quarterback will get his first taste of NFL action, but will have limited weapons to work with on offense. Lead back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is on the Injured Reserve, and the Cardinals lost top wide receiver Michael Wilson (neck) for the season on Monday. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should consider scooping up Beck right now. However, it's tough to imagine him having a ton of success given his limited options on offense.--Andy Webb

The Arizona Cardinals signed veteran quarterback Josh Johnson off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad on Monday to give them more depth at the position with veteran QB Gardner Minshew II (elbow) potentially out for the rest of the year with a UCL injury in his right elbow, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Cardinals will be Johnson's 15th NFL team in 14 NFL seasons. The Cardinals traded veteran Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens, so with Minshew potentially done for the year due to injury, the Cardinals need some insurance behind rookie Carson Beck, who will be making his NFL debut if he starts in Week 10 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. The 40-year-old Johnson did not play at all for the Bengals this year after appearing in five games (two starts) for the Washington Commanders in 2025, when he threw for 372 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on 54 pass attempts. The Cardinals will be hoping that Beck will get some good experience in the second half of the season without having to turn to Johnson at all.--Keith Hernandez

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said the team thinks that quarterback Sam Darnold (quadriceps, ribs) will be able to play coming out of their bye in Week 11 to start on Nov. 29 at the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, according to Gregg Bell. Macdonald said that Darnold's quad injury just needs more time to heal right now. Despite suffering a new oblique injury (in addition to right-elbow tendinitis), Drew Lock will start this Sunday at the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. The 29-year-old Darnold injured his quad and suffered a few cracked ribs in the Week 8 loss to the Chicago Bears last Monday night, and he will end up missing two straight games before hopefully returning for a crucial divisional battle in Week 12. Darnold led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl championship last year in his first season with the team, but things have not gone as well for him in the first half of 2026, as the two-time Pro Bowler has nearly as many interceptions (nine) as touchdown passes (10) in his seven starts. He is floating around on the waiver wire in many single-QB leagues, and an upcoming matchup against San Francisco in Week 12 (if he is cleared to return) will not be a good time to use him while coming off multiple injuries.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh announced on Monday that quarterback Justin Herbert's (finger) imaging came back "negative" and that he avoided a fracture on his left middle finger, according to Alex Insdorf. Herbert was injured in the team's 44-22 loss at home to the Houston Texans on Sunday in Week 9, but he should be good to suit up in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens next Monday night with an extra day off until then. The 28-year-old could be limited in practice this week, but it would be a surprise if he does not start against Baltimore as the Bolts search for their first victory of the 2026 season. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel was praising Herbert for his progress in learning the new offense back in training camp, but the Chargers have been a dumpster fire under McDaniel this year, with Herbert ranking as the QB24 in fantasy with 1,591 passing yards, six touchdowns, and a league-high 11 interceptions in eight starts. It is not all on his shoulders, though, with L.A.'s offensive line yet again being a major liability, while top wideout Ladd McConkey (back) has not really been healthy all year. Touted as a potential midrange QB1 going into the season, Herbert and the entire Chargers offense have been one of the biggest busts in 2026. He should only be started in superflex leagues in Week 10 against the Ravens.--Keith Hernandez

Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Gardner Minshew II (elbow) is feared to have torn the UCL in his right throwing elbow in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, according to Bo Brack of PHNX Cardinals. Rookie Carson Beck is now the likely QB1 for the Cardinals moving forward after they traded former starting QB Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. If the 30-year-old Minshew's torn UCL is confirmed, he will need season-ending surgery. Minshew predictably struggled in Seattle against the reigning Super Bowl champions in the 17-3 loss, going 21-for-30 passing for 166 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Not only are the Cardinals likely losing Minshew for the rest of the year, but they will also be without top receiver Michael Wilson for the remainder of the 2026 campaign due to a neck fracture. Beck, a third-round pick in April from the University of Miami, is going to be thrown into the deep end with limited receiving options available to him outside of All-Pro tight end Trey McBride, so fantasy managers considering using him in superflex leagues should expect a steep learning curve, especially in his NFL debut this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams.--Keith Hernandez

The Arizona Cardinals are doing tests on quarterback Gardner Minshew II (elbow, arm) on his right elbow/arm after he took a blow at the end of the first half in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that there is a chance that Minshew will miss Sunday's Week 10 contest against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Mike LaFleur. With Jacoby Brissett now in Baltimore, rookie QB Carson Beck would be next in line to start if Minshew is not cleared to play this weekend. The 30-year-old Minshew predictably fell flat on Sunday on the road in a hostile environment against one of the best defenses in the NFL, throwing for 166 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions on 21-for-30 passing. He will be a desperation option in two-QB superflex leagues again in Week 10 if he plays in another tough matchup against a Rams defense that now has All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett back. Lowering Minshew's fantasy value even further is the news that top receiver Michael Wilson is out for the year with a neck injury.--Keith Hernandez

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken is not naming a starting quarterback yet for Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans in Week 10, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "I really haven't thought through it other than getting through this morning's tape. We just got done meeting with the guys; they'll flush the game, and then we'll have a chance to meet offensively more extensively a little bit later today," Monken said. This is a direct contradiction to an earlier report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that suggested that Deshaun Watson (concussion) is expected to start against the Texans as long as he clears the league's concussion protocol. Watson was inactive on Sunday in the overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints, and second-year QB Shedeur Sanders had a mostly positive showing, throwing for 297 yards and two touchdowns on 19-for-31 passing in his first start in 2026. Watson threw for over 300 yards in each of his last two starts, but he has not thrown for a touchdown in his last three games and leads the league with 33 sacks taken. We might have a QB controversy brewing in Cleveland, with neither signal-caller registering as much more than a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues.--Keith Hernandez

When speaking to the media on Monday, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen would not confirm if the team has told quarterback Daniel Jones that he will not be traded, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. The Colts reportedly informed Jones on Saturday that he will not be moved by Tuesday's trade deadline, according to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero, but that does not mean that the 29-year-old signal-caller will not be on the move if the Colts receive an offer too good to pass up. Jones has been one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL through the first half of the 2026 season after coming off a torn Achilles tendon late last year. His disappointing second year with the Colts continued in the Week 9 loss in a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, as Jones went 20-for-34 passing for only 180 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. It has not helped Jones' cause that he has been without top wideout Alec Pierce (heel) for most of the year, and the receiver remains out for the foreseeable future. Still, Jones will have more QB2 streaming appeal this weekend if he remains with the Colts past Tuesday's deadline for a Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.--Keith Hernandez

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (elbow) is viewed as day-to-day after a scary-looking hit to his throwing arm had fantasy managers briefly holding their collective breath during the team's Week 9 win over the Jets. Mahomes left the field in obvious discomfort and was seen testing his elbow on the sideline, but ultimately completed the game, finishing the day with 242 passing yards and two touchdowns. While he does not appear to be in jeopardy of missing the Chiefs' Week 10 matchup with the Falcons, Mahomes' status will need to be monitored. If he is able to play without limitation, the current fantasy QB14 makes for a strong start against an Atlanta defense that allowed Joe Burrow to finish as the QB3 in Week 9 and recently traded away Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates.--Patrick McGrath

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (oblique) is dealing with an oblique strain that head coach Mike Macdonald believes is minor, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Sam Darnold (quadriceps) has already been ruled out for the Week 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, but tests on Lock's oblique injury that he suffered on Sunday in the Week 9 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals were "good," and they believe he can start against the Raiders. The 29-year-old's practice reps will surely be managed this week as he also battles through right-elbow tendinitis, but he is expected to play this weekend. In the 17-3 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, Lock did not have to do too much as a passer, going 19-for-28 with 175 yards and one touchdown. With a bye coming in Week 11, this Sunday in Vegas could be Lock's last chance to start for the Seahawks this year if Darnold is recovered in time for a Week 12 showdown against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Lock has done a good job of avoiding turnovers in his three games (two starts) in 2026 while throwing for 597 yards and five touchdowns on 76 pass attempts, however, he will be nothing more than a low-end QB2 streamer in superflex leagues in Week 10 against the Raiders.--Keith Hernandez

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on his radio show on Monday that quarterback Sam Darnold (quadriceps) will be out again in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Gregg Bell. Backup Drew Lock battled through elbow and oblique injuries to lead the Seahawks to a Week 9 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and tests on his oblique were "good," so he is expected to make a second straight start this Sunday in Vegas. Seattle has their bye coming in Week 11, so Darnold's next chance to return to the starting role will be in Week 12 on Sunday, Nov. 29, for a showdown with the division-rival San Francisco 49ers on the road. In addition to a quad injury, the 29-year-old Darnold is dealing with cracked ribs that he suffered in last Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 8. Getting Darnold healthy for the stretch run is the Seahawks' No. 1 priority. The former third overall pick in 2018 from USC has not been as good as he was in 2025 in his first year in Seattle, mainly due to turnovers. The two-time Pro Bowler is completing 60.2% of his passes for 1,478 yards, 10 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in his seven starts.--Keith Hernandez
