2026 Week 8 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Joe Fagnano Enters for Ravens as Huntley Exits with Toe Injury
Baltimore's third-string QB is running the offense after losing both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in the same game.
According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Ravens are down to their emergency third quarterback — undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano — after losing both Lamar Jackson (right thumb, out) and Tyler Huntley (toe, questionable to return) in the same game against the Bills. Huntley's injury came on a tackle by Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver in the second quarter. Fagnano entered with 9:39 left in the first half, with Baltimore trailing 13-7.
Joe Fagnano
Fagnano is an undrafted rookie described by the source story as the emergency third quarterback — this is as deep a depth chart as it gets. He has no fantasy value in standard redraft formats, full stop. Dynasty managers should note the name only as a curiosity; nothing in the source story suggests he has any established role beyond emergency duty. If either Jackson or Huntley can return, Fagnano's time ends immediately.
Tyler Huntley
Huntley is listed as questionable to return, so his fantasy day may not be over — but he was 2-of-4 for zero yards before exiting, and the Ravens' offense was already badly compromised after losing Jackson on the first play. Even if Huntley returns, manage expectations accordingly. If he can't go, Fagnano finishes the game and Huntley's owners are left with nothing.
Lamar Jackson
Jackson is out for this game with a right thumb injury suffered on the Ravens' very first offensive play. ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports) does not specify a timeline beyond "will not return," so any projection beyond this game is speculation. Jackson's fantasy managers should mark him as a zero for Week 8 and monitor the injury report closely heading into next week. The thumb is the obvious concern for a scrambling quarterback — but again, the source story gives no recovery timeline, so don't guess at one.
The broader fantasy picture here is brutal for Ravens skill-position players. With Fagnano — an undrafted rookie with no established track record — now running the offense, any wide receiver or tight end on Baltimore's roster loses significant upside for the remainder of this game. The Bills are also dealing with their own injury news: wide receiver Josh Palmer is doubtful to return with a right hamstring injury, per the same report.
