Herbert will continue to be monitored this week but his status is at least up in the air heading into Week 4, a game with the Chiefs. Herbert was seen with a boot after the game, and didn't return after leaving in the third quarter, but it's possible the Chargers were just being cautious with their start QB. We'll know more as the week goes on. Heinicke would get the start if Herbert can't go.

The Chargers have listed QB Justin Herbert (Ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Herbert has been on the injury report a couple of times as we head into the third game of the season, yet has taken all 51 dropbacks for the 2-0 Chargers. Their offense has been very efficient, though most of that has come through the run game, rendering Herbert un-startable in fantasy, regardless of game-day designation.

Justin Herbert will be listed on today's injury report with an ankle injury. Practice status TBD.

Good news for Herbert and the Chargers in general, but we don't want to touch this passing attack as we head into what could be a slog against the Raiders. Leave the QB on your bench or waiver wire until we find him in a better spot.

The plan for the Falcons moving forward is to have Taylor Heinicke start the final three games of the season, per Arthur Smith. Desmond Ridder will be his backup.

The Falcons quarterback room continues to be a flip-floppy mess. Heinicke came in as relief during Week 8, only to be re-benched two weeks later, producing minimal fantasy success with his brief time on the field. The Falcons don't have the easiest defensive road the next two weeks, so he is unlikely to come back on the fantasy radar.

According to TheAthletic.com, the Falcons will be starting Taylor Heinicke against the Colts. It would be the second time that Smith and the Falcons have benched Ridder in favor of Heinicke this season.

Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said on Monday that he was considering a quarterback change after the team fell to 6-8 with a 9-7 loss to the Panthers. Smith said following the bye he wanted to stick with Ridder after previously going back and forth over a span of a few weeks. But the Falcons will again make a switch after Ridder threw a terrible INT on a potential game-winning drive in what was a must-win game against the Panthers.

Arthur Smith said at a Monday press conference that he is still considering what direction to go at quarterback for their Week 16 matchup with the Colts. Logan Woodside is also on the roster, but Smith said that Taylor Heinicke is the only choice other than Desmond Ridder for this week.

Following their bye, the team went back to Ridder because they didn't want to keep switching QBs week-to-week. But as the story said, Ridder threw a brutal interception at a key point in the game and that may be enough for the team to make yet another change. We'll hopefully know more by Wednesday.

Falcons HC Arthur Smith said team is going with Desmond Ridder.

Also, they'll see how much Taylor Heinicke (hamstring) can practice this week.

The Falcons said they would ponder their QB situation over the break and announce a starter for Week 12 who would start the rest of the season. The team didn't want to be in a week-to-week QB situation like they were for three weeks leading into the bye week. So, Ridder will get the nod for the rest of the season with Heinicke serving as the backup as long as he's healthy.

Desmond Ridder’s play gave head coach Arthur Smith something to think about over the bye week.

Smith has said he doesn’t want his team’s quarterback situation to remain week-to-week once Atlanta gets back from the time off. He noted after Sunday’s loss that Ridder’s play “will definitely have an effect.”

Ridder was not supposed to play for the Falcons on Sunday as Heinicke earned the start. We reported last week the team was going to decide their QB for the rest-of-season after the bye. But, Heinicke pulled his hamstring in the second half of the eventual loss to Arizona. Ridder completed 4-of-6 passes for 39 yards and running in a 9-yard, go-ahead touchdown that gave Atlanta a 23-22 lead with 2:33 left in the game.

The Falcons will keep things status quo at quarterback for at least another week.

Head coach Arthur Smith announced at his Monday press conference that Taylor Heinicke will start for the team against the Cardinals in Week 10.

“Taylor gives us the best chance, with everything going on right now,” Smith said, via Scott Bair of the team’s website. The story added that Smith said the team will reassess the position after the Week 11 bye.
