Sam Darnold News
Wednesday, November 4, 12:51 PM
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold (quadriceps, ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals after injuring his quad late in Monday's loss to the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike Macdonald described Darnold as week-to-week and said the team does not plan to place him on injured reserve. Macdonald also revealed that Darnold suffered a cracked rib on Seattle's second offensive play against Chicago but remained in the game. The injuries add to a difficult stretch for Darnold, who has thrown nine interceptions across his last six starts. Drew Lock is expected to start against Arizona despite dealing with a right elbow injury, with Jalen Milroe preparing to serve as his backup. Lock threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns against the Cardinals in Week 2, with all three scores going to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. That previous connection provides some reassurance for Smith-Njigba's fantasy outlook despite the quarterback change.

Daniel Jones News
Wednesday, November 4, 4:49 AM
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Baltimore Ravens could have quarterback Daniel Jones on their radar as a short-term option. The Ravens lost star quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) for the foreseeable future and backup Tyler Huntley (toe) for the season. The team could trade for Jones as a stopgap amid quarterback injuries. Jones signed a two-year, $88 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason but has struggled immensely in his second season with the team. The Colts have already traded franchise cornerstones Quentin Nelson and DeForest Buckner and appear likely to move Jonathan Taylor and Josh Downs as well. While it's unclear where Jones stands and how Baltimore will target their quarterback openings, keep an eye on both situations before this year's deadline.
