Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Kurtis Rourke

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.

San Francisco 49ers rookie seventh-round quarterback Kurtis Rourke (knee) will begin training camp this summer on the Non-Football Injury list after the team's rookies reported to camp on Tuesday. In addition, second-round rookie defensive tackle Alfred Collins has yet to report while being one of the many second-round picks this year that have yet to sign their rookie deals. The 24-year-old Rourke played through a torn ACL in his final collegiate season in 2024 at Indiana, but he will not be ready to practice with the Niners when training camp kicks off next week. When Rourke is cleared to participate in practices, he'll merely be competing for the No. 3 QB role in San Fran behind starter Brock Purdy and backup Mac Jones. The 49ers also have Tanner Mordecai on roster at the QB position this year.
