Tua Tagovailoa News
Wednesday, September 23, 8:29 AM
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) will serve as Michael Penix Jr.'s backup for the Thursday night game in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, a source told James Palmer of the NFL Network. Tagovailoa was all set to start in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers before he injured his oblique just days before in practice. He was eventually ruled out, and he also sat out of the team's Week 2 loss to the Carolina Panthers. There was a previous report that suggested that once Penix recovered from his partially torn ACL that he suffered last year, the Falcons could consider releasing Tagovailoa, but that apparently will not happen, at least not for now. After starting Cooper Rush in the first two games of the season, Atlanta's QB room is now fully healthy, with Penix set to make his season debut on Thursday Night Football, and Tagovailoa backing him up. As long as Penix stays healthy this season, Tagovailoa will most likely remain as the Falcons' backup, giving him little fantasy football appeal.

Caleb Williams News
Monday, October 5, 4:42 PM
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) will not practice this week, head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The head coach still believes that Williams is operating on a "week-to-week" timeline as he recovers from a Grade 2 right-hamstring strain that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Johnson said that Williams is doing well attacking his rehab, but he will miss a third straight game this weekend in a big divisional tilt in Week 5 at Lambeau Field against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The Bears already announced that backup Tyson Bagent will make the start this weekend in Green Bay after leading the team to victory over the New York Jets this past Sunday. Fantasy managers must remain patient with the former first overall pick from USC, but he will need to return to the practice field in some form next week if he is to have any chance of returning for a Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
