Mason Rudolph Earns the Start in Week 12

Sunday, November 23, 10:56 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph will earn the start against the Chicago Bears in Week 12 after Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was ruled out pregame, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rodgers was pushing to play, but the team decided to hold him out. This will be Rudolph's first start of the season, but he also earned significant snaps after Rodgers exited last Sunday. In that game, he completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 127 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. This week, the veteran will face off against a Bears defense that leads the league in interceptions but has also allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. He's a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes.

Diego Pavia Waived by Ravens Before Training Camp

Thursday, July 23, 12:38 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Diego Pavia was waived before training camp, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The undrafted rookie had been in a three-player competition with Skylar Thompson and Joe Fagnano for the No. 3 job behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Pavia arrived with more name recognition than the average camp arm after finishing second in the 2025 Heisman Trophy voting at Vanderbilt, but Thompson's strong minicamp appears to have put him in front. Baltimore made the move to open a roster spot for veteran center Ethan Pocic, leaving Thompson and Fagnano as the remaining candidates for a third quarterback spot the Ravens may not keep on the initial 53-man roster. Pavia has no immediate redraft value and is only worth monitoring in the deepest Superflex dynasty leagues if another team claims him.
