The New York Giants are signing free-agent quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad on Tuesday to add more QB depth after he worked out for the team, according to a source. The move comes a day after the Giants announced that they are benching Daniel Jones in favor of Tommy Devito coming out of their bye week. Drew Lock will serve as the backup to DeVito, with Jones sliding all the way down to third on the depth chart. Boyle was with the Houston Texans during training camp before joining the Miami Dolphins, where he went 15-for-26 for 153 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in two games when Tua Tagovailoa was on Injured Reserve. The 30-year-old has completed only 61.7% of his passes with four TDs and 12 interceptions in 22 games (five starts) in his five-plus years in the NFL. It would take injuries to DeVito and Lock for Boyle to get any run in New York.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tim Boyle completed 8-of-13 passes for 74 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He gained four yards on the ground on his only attempt. Boyle entered the game in the second half after starting QB Tyler Huntley (shoulder) picked up an injury and was deemed out for the remainder of Week 7. It was another disastrous day for the Dolphins' offense, who have yet to find their footing since Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) went down with a brain injury. Of the team's 12 possessions in the contest, just two went for ten or more plays, and it's the fourth time in the last five matchups that they've failed to score more than ten points. With Tagovailoa potentially returning to action in Week 8, Miami's fortune may swiftly change.

Quarterback Tim Boyle was released by the Miami Dolphins on Friday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 30-year-old operated as the No.3 QB through the early part of the season. However, the Dolphins recently brought in Tyler Huntley, which pushes Boyle to the No.4 spot on the depth chart. This move also suggests that Skylar Thompson (ribs) could be cleared to return this weekend and serve as Huntley's backup. Boyle made a brief appearance this season in Week 3 against Seattle and went 7-for-13 with 79 yards and no scores. Last season with the New York Jets, Boyle went 48-for-77 with 360 yards and a 1:4 TD:INT ratio. Fantasy managers in superflex leagues should drop Boyle from their roster and instead look to stash Thompson, as he should operate as the No.2 QB for the time being in Miami.

The Miami Dolphins will square off against the Tennessee Titans as part of a second consecutive Monday Night Football doubleheader. Ahead of the matchup, head coach Mike McDaniel has yet to decide whether Tim Boyle or Tyler Huntley will be his starting quarterback. McDaniel and the Fins are having a rough start to the season, with quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) out for a few more weeks and Skylar Thompson (ribs) unlikely to suit up this Monday. Boyle -- initially the team's third-string option -- presents with the lower floor of the two potential signal-callers and, at this point, looks less likely to get the start. On the other hand, Huntley, who was recently acquired off the Baltimore Ravens practice squad, is a more enticing option for the team as he brings a dual-threat element to his game. Despite the latter garnering a higher fantasy ceiling, neither quarterback will be a recommended option in Week 4. The 26-year-old Huntley could be an exciting addition in superflex and 2QB formats, so an empty roster spot could be used on him in case he performs better than expected. However, fantasy managers will want to exhibit caution when slotting him into their lineups in his first week of action. The two backups are both low-end QB2s.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tim Boyle completed 7-of-13 passes for 79 yards in Sunday's 24-3 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Skylar Thompson (chest) got the start but took a hit early in the third quarter after a short completion to De'Von Achane that sent him to the sideline -- effectively ending his day. Miami couldn't get anything going with Thompson manning the helm, and that didn't change when Boyle entered the contest. The Fins were stifled by Seattle on Sunday, coming away with just three points on 12 drives. Miami had an opportunity for one more score when they were deep in Seahawks territory early in the fourth quarter, but Boyle could not convert on 4th-and-goal. There has been no update on the severity of Thompson's injury, but the team may look to sign veteran QB help if it is deemed serious. We'll know more over the coming days as Miami gears up for a Monday night home matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

The Miami Dolphins have decided to sign quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad on Thursday. Boyle was released by the Houston Texans after they opted to keep C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills as their two quarterbacks. The 29-year-old journeyman has appeared in 20 games with four different teams over the last five seasons. During that time, Boyle has thrown for 934 yards with four touchdowns and 12 interceptions, so don't expect any fantasy value for Boyle if he's asked to take over under center at some point. He figures to serve as depth on the practice squad and will be the third option behind Tua Tagovailoa and Skyler Thompson.

Houston Texans quarterback Tim Boyle stepped up effectively in relief during the team's final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Boyle took over after the starter Case Keenum was injured. He showcased his skills, leading the Texans to a 17-15 victory. Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud was rested for the game as he prepares for the September 8 season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. Davis Mills has secured the backup role behind Stroud. Boyle, who previously filled in for Zach Wilson with the New York Jets, threw for 142 yards and two touchdowns in the game. As the Texans finalize their roster, Boyle will be vying with Keenum for the third-string quarterback spot.

Houston Texans quarterback Tim Boyle (finger) was back on the practice field at organized team activities on Thursday after missing time last week after getting stitches for a finger cut while taking a snap. Boyle will be competing for a roster spot this offseason and in training camp this summer. He's currently listed as the No. 4 QB on the Texans' depth chart behind C.J. Stroud, Davis Mills and veteran Case Keenum. It will be an uphill battle for the 29-year-old former undrafted free agent. Boyle has already served as a backup option for five different teams since entering the NFL with the Green Bay Packers in 2019. In his five years in the league, Boyle has completed only 62.3% of his 183 pass attempts for 934 yards, four touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 20 games (five starts). He's not anywhere near the fantasy radar in any format.

The Houston Texans signed former New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. The Texans made the move to add Boyle as QB depth after working him out earlier in the day. Boyle comes to Houston as more depth at the QB position behind veteran Case Keenum and Davis Mills after rookie first-rounder C.J. Stroud missed last week's overtime win over the Tennessee Titans due to a concussion. It's unlikely the 29-year-old will see the field for the Texans the rest of this season. Boyle played in three games (two starts) for the Jets this year before getting cut, going 48-for-77 for 360 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions.

The Houston Texans worked out former New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle on Tuesday after they attempted to claim quarterback Nathan Rourke on Monday. Rookie first-round QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) missed the first game of his career in the Week 15 overtime win over the Tennessee Titans. The Texans are merely looking for added QB insurance behind veteran Case Keenum and Davis Mills. Boyle landed on the free-agent market after the New York Jets cut him loose. The 29-year-old started for the Jets in Weeks 12 and 13 and went 41-for-63 for 327 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. Boyle is merely searching for a depth role with another organization to close out the 2023 season.
Dec 19, 2023 6:38 PM EST
The New York Jets released quarterback Tim Boyle on Tuesday and signed quarterback Brett Rypien off the Seattle Seahawks practice squad in a corresponding move, according to a source. Boyle started for the Jets in their Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and is now a free agent. The 29-year-old went 14-for-25 for 148 yards, no touchdowns and an interception before being benched for Trevor Siemian in the second half. He wasn't any better in the Week 12 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Jets want to go back to Zach Wilson as their starter in Week 14 against the Houston Texans, but head coach Robert Saleh hasn't made anything official. It remains unlikely that Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is going to save the Jets at the end of the regular season.
Dec 5, 2023 12:54 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle is set to make his second start of the season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The 29-year-old struggled for much of his Week 12 performance but did manage to connect with wide receiver Garrett Wilson for a touchdown. He does have a favorable matchup this week with the Falcons surrendering the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. Still, it's extremely difficult to trust Boyle and the Jets' offense at the moment. Fantasy managers should view him as a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues.
Dec 1, 2023 8:00 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the team is going to stick with Tim Boyle as their starting quarterback after a poor performance in the Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Friday. "Yeah, we're giving Timmy a chance to roll again next week," Saleh said. Boyle went 27-for-38 for 179 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the 34-13 loss to Miami. One of the 29-year-old's interceptions came on a Hail Mary attempt just before halftime that was returned 99 yards for a touchdown. It wasn't really an upgrade over Zach Wilson, but the Jets aren't going to pull the plug just yet, so Boyle will make another start on Dec. 3 against the Atlanta Falcons, where he'll be a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues. The good news is receiver Garrett Wilson scored his first TD since Week 2 with Boyle under center on Friday.
Nov 25, 2023 12:16 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle completed 27 of his 38 pass attempts for 179 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in a 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Boyle had just 43 passing yards entering the fourth quarter but managed to sustain a few drives with the game already out of reach. He connected with wide receiver Garrett Wilson for a one-yard score to give the Jets their only offensive touchdown of the contest. Head coach Robert Saleh was non-committal on a Week 13 starter following Friday's loss as New York's offense did not look improved with Zach Wilson on the bench. Fantasy managers will need to consider removing all Jets from their starting lineups should Boyle get the nod next week against the Atlanta Falcons.
Nov 24, 2023 8:30 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle will make his first start of the 2023-2024 campaign in a Week 12 divisional showdown with the Miami Dolphins. Boyle replaced Zach Wilson in the second half of last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills and completed seven of 14 pass attempts for 33 yards and an interception. The Dolphins have been vulnerable to quarterback production this season, but the 29-year-old Boyle has shown very little over his 18 career appearances since 2018. He cannot be relied upon for fantasy purposes and unfortunately makes it difficult to trust New York's offensive weapons such as Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall.
Nov 23, 2023 6:25 PM EST
The New York Jets will start Tim Boyle at quarterback for their Week 12 matchup with the Miami Dolphins this Friday, according to a source. The Jets have seen enough of Zach Wilson, at least for the time being. Wilson flopped yet again in the team's 32-6 beatdown at the hands of the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 on Sunday, with Wilson going 7-for-15 for just 81 yards, one touchdown and an interception for a QBR of 3.8. Boyle wasn't much better when he replaced Wilson in the second half, going 7-for-14 for 33 yards and a pick. The 29-year-old could easily be just as bad as Wilson or worse against Miami, and all of New York's offensive skill players -- mainly Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson -- could suffer as a result. Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) remains a long shot to return in 2023 after tearing his Achilles in Week 1.
Nov 20, 2023 1:08 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle completed seven of his 14 pass attempts for 33 yards and an interception in a 32-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Boyle replaced starter Zach Wilson late in the third quarter with the contest already well out of reach. Although he didn't do much to impress in his time on the field, Boyle apparently has a chance to start in Week 12. Following the loss, head coach Robert Saleh told reporters that he is undecided about who will handle QB1 duties against the Miami Dolphins. The 29-year-old Boyle has just three career touchdowns to seven interceptions, so it will be difficult to consider him an upgrade for New York's fantasy-relevant weapons.
Nov 19, 2023 8:33 PM EST
New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. With Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) sidelined, the Jets needed someone to back up Zach Wilson, who is expected to remain under center. But Boyle hasn't seen much action since entering the league in 2018, appearing in 17 games and throwing three touchdowns and eight picks off 62.3% passing. It seems New York won't sign a veteran free agent, at least at the moment. However, Boyle hasn't proven he can be trusted, so that may change if Wilson gets injured moving ahead.
Sep 16, 2023 9:52 PM EST
Boyle completed six of 11 passes for 61 yards in Thursday's 21-16 preseason loss to the Browns.
Aug 4, 2023 10:37 AM EST
Boyle (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Packers.
