Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Hendon Hooker

Saturday, October 4, 9:20 PM

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Baltimore Ravens elevated quarterback Tyler Huntley from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 5 meeting with the Houston Texans. Lamar Jackson (hamstring) was ruled out on Friday after tweaking his hamstring during the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. As a result, Cooper Rush will get the start on Sunday. With that said, Huntley has had more than a few serviceable showings throughout his career. He's appeared in 25 games, throwing for 2,786 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, adding five more scores on the run. If Rush has issues leading the offense while Jackson is on the shelf, Huntley may find himself under center. For now, he's not worth adding to fantasy rosters.

The Carolina Panthers came to an agreement with quarterback Hendon Hooker, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The former Tennessee Volunteer is set to join Carolina's practice squad after being waived by Detroit. The Lions selected Hooker in the third round in 2023, but ultimately moved on this offseason after he lost the backup QB competition against journeyman Kyle Allen. Carolina will start Bryce Young and brought back Andy Dalton, but will slot Hooker into their third QB spot heading into the season.
