Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) appears to aggravated his ankle injury during the Week 3 game, and has momentarily been replaced by QB Taylor Heinicke.
Huddle Up: Herbert was a game-time decision entering the game, so there is a good chance that ankle became an issue again. Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see how long Herbert may be sidelined.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is preparing to play in Week 3's game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers but a final decision about the team's starting quarterback will not be made until after he participates in pregame warmups, according to multiple sources. There is a possibility that the Chargers could have three quarterbacks active for the first time this season: Herbert, Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke.
Huddle Up: Herbert was listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in just one practice session during the week on a limited basis. If he is active for the game, he would likely have limited mobility due to his high-ankle sprain and would only be a starting option in two-quarterback fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. worked with the backups during minicamp while veteran QB Taylor Heinicke worked with the first team. Starting QB Kirk Cousins (Achilles') is still recovering from an Achilles' injury and did not take part in camp.
Huddle Up: We knew it on draft day, and we still know it now. Penix is ticketed for the bench this year and probably beyond, leaving him exclusively with value in keeper formats for patient owners.

Atlanta Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke recently agreed to a pay cut from his expected $5 million base salary in 2024 to $1.21 million. In addition, his $1.32 million roster bonus will now be classified as a signing bonus and his $40,000 per game active roster bonus was also removed from his contract.

Atlanta Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke will face competition this offseason to be the team's No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart behind Kirk Cousins, according to head coach Raheem Morris.

The Atlanta Falcons are in the process of deciding whether to bring back QBs Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder next season or bring in a new quarterback via draft, free agency or trade. Meanwhile, last season's third-string quarterback, Logan Woodside, is a restricted free agent. Head coach Raheem Morris and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson have said that all options are on the table in the search for a starter and that they are open to considering both pocket passers and more mobile players.
Huddle Up: Both Heinicke and Ridder were inconsistent and ineffective last season and there's a possibility that one or both quarterbacks could be suiting up elsewhere by the beginning of the 2024 campaign. Neither player is expected to have much value in any fantasy format going forward.

Atlanta Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke (ankle) will not be active for Week 18's game against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: Heinicke had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging three limited practice sessions during the week but will find himself on the bench this afternoon. QB Desmond Ridder will receive the starting nod versus New Orleans but is not a recommended fantasy option.
