The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Tyler Huntley to a one-year deal on Sunday. It's a bit surprising to see the Baltimore Ravens let Huntley walk away considering he has been a viable option for them over the last few seasons. During his career, Huntley has thrown for 1,957 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions, adding 509 rushing yards to his total as well. Huntley also started a playoff game for the Ravens during the 2022 season against the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, the 26-year-old will get a chance to compete for the backup job in Cleveland. He'll have plenty of competition with Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson also trying to secure a backup quarterback spot on the Browns.
Tyler Huntley Throws One Touchdown In Week 18 Loss
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley filled in for Lamar Jackson in a game that ultimately didn't mean much for the playoffs. In the crazy wind and rain, Huntley completed 15 of his 28 throws for 146 yards and a touchdown. He also added eight carries for 40 yards but didn't score on the ground. This was an ugly game for both offenses as they both went to the ground game more often throughout the first three quarters. While Huntley didn't produce any turnovers, he also wasn't able to contribute all that much to what amounted to a loss. The Ravens played a lot of their backups, especially in the second half, so this was an uphill battle from the start.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley will take over the offense as Lamar Jackson gets some well-deserved rest after the team locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Coincidentally, Huntley started both games against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season due to injuries to Jackson, and he ended up going 1-1 in those contests. This season, Huntley has only thrown a total of nine balls and completed six of them for 57 yards and two touchdowns. Last year, he led the team to a 2-2 record in his four starts and threw one more interception than he did touchdowns. These rivalry games between the Ravens and Steelers are usually smashmouth games led by the defense and the ground game, so Huntley is difficult to trust in a fantasy championship game and likely isn't worth the money in DFS.
Tyler Huntley To Start In Week 18, Lamar Jackson To Be Rested
The Baltimore Ravens will rest quarterback Lamar Jackson, the MVP front-runner, for the Week 18 regular season finale this Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens are already locked into the top overall seed in the AFC and will have a first-round bye in the playoffs. The next time they'll be a full-go will be in the Divisional Round on Jan. 20/21. Tyler Huntley will make his first start of the season in this weekend's game against a Steelers team that is still fighting for a wild-card spot. Jackson may not be the only offensive starter the Ravens choose to rest in this one, so Huntley may be working with limited weapons in a tough matchup against the Steelers. The 25-year-old will be a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues that are still playing for a title.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (hamstring) returned to practice on Monday after missing all of last week. It's a good sign that Huntley rejoined the team to begin the week heading into the regular season opener in Week 1 on Sunday against the Houston Texans, but he's still not a lock to be active as Lamar Jackson's backup. The 25-year-old obviously won't be fantasy relevant as long as Jackson is healthy. If Huntley isn't cleared for the first week of the 2023 regular season, veteran journeyman Josh Johnson will serve as Jackson's backup in Week 1 against the Texans.
Tyler Huntley Not Expected To Go On Injured Reserve
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he doesn't expect quarterback Tyler Huntley (hamstring) to go on season-ending Injured Reserve. Huntley, who will serve as Lamar Jackson's backup in 2023 if he's healthy, injured his hamstring in the preseason opener against and didn't play again in the preseason. If the 25-year-old is able to avoid Injured Reserve to open the year, it doesn't mean that he won't have to miss some games early on. The Ravens also have Josh Johnson and Anthony Brown at the position, but one of both of them could be cut before Tuesday's deadline if Huntley's injury isn't viewed as very serious. Because of injuries to Jackson each of the last two years, Huntley has stepped in to play 13 games, including eight starts.
Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley (hamstring) remains sidelined at training camp practice this week after picking up a hamstring injury in the team's preseason opener last weekend. Huntley's injury is expected to be minor, so he could return to practice any day now. Before leaving the first preseason game on Saturday, the 25-year-old looked good running the offense, going 8-for-11 for 88 yards and a touchdown while also rushing twice for 13 yards. Huntley should be good to go for next Monday's preseason contest against the Washington Nationals. He has filled in for an injured Lamar Jackson in each of the last two seasons towards the end of the season and has made eight starts.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (hamstring), who went to the locker room late in Saturday's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, is dealing with a minor hamstring tweak, according to a source. It's not a big concern for Huntley moving forward. The 25-year-old looked good in his first game action on Saturday, going 8-for-11 for 88 yards and a touchdown while also adding two carries for 13 yards in the 20-19 win over Philly. It remains to be seen if Huntley will be ready to play in the team's second preseason game next week against the Washington Commanders, but he should be just fine for the start of the 2023 regular season as Lamar Jackson's backup in Baltimore.
Tyler Huntley Posts Efficient Performance In Preseason Opener
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was near perfect in a 20-19 preseason-opening win on Saturday. The fourth-year backup finished with 88 yards and a touchdown while completing eight of his 11 throws. Huntley also added 13 yards on the ground on two attempts. His backup role is pretty much locked in behind Lamar Jackson which has turned into a starting job quite a bit the past couple of seasons. He should fit right into the offense any time Jackson needs to be relieved, however he shouldn't be fantasy relevant until that happens.
Tyler Huntley Has Left The Door Open For Josh Johnson
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley remains the favorite to win the backup job behind Lamar Jackson this summer, but he has left the door open for veteran Josh Johnson. Huntley struggled with consistency and turned the ball over too often during organized team activities and last week's mandatory minicamp. The Ravens wanted to upgrade at backup QB this offseason, and it's notable that Huntley is on the books for $2.6 million in 2023. If Baltimore isn't sold on Huntley as a clear upgrade over Johnson, the salary cap savings they could get from moving on from him could be attractive. The 25-year-old has plenty on the line at training camp next month. In 13 games (eight starts) over the last two years, he's completed 65.7% of his passes for 1,739 yards, five TDs and seven interceptions.
