Outlook Kyle McCord
Stepping Into Starting Role for NFL Debut in Indianapolis
With Malik Willis placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury, McCord takes over as Miami's starting quarterback and will make his NFL debut on Sunday inside Lucas Oil Stadium. He inherits a struggling Dolphins offense sitting last in the AFC East, where he will lean on pass catchers Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas, and tight end Greg Dulcich.
Even as road underdogs against a skidding Colts squad, a projected low-scoring environment limits his upside in his first professional start. Barely rostered at 2% across leagues, McCord checks in at a modest 11.6 fantasy points in our weekly projection, supported by roughly 190 passing yards and one touchdown. Offering minimal rushing production, he belongs on the bench outside of deep superflex formats.

Outlook Justin Herbert
Imaging Clears Him of Finger Fracture, Yet Turnover Woes Cap Upside in Baltimore
Officially listed as questionable, Herbert avoided a fractured left middle finger and is expected to play Monday night in Baltimore, though managers should check back often for the latest status updates. Leading a winless Chargers offense alongside Quentin Johnston while Ladd McConkey nurses back spasms, he has struggled with ball security by tossing 11 interceptions this season.
Fantasy managers have largely moved on over the past month, sending both his roster and start rates tumbling. Our models project a modest 14.6 fantasy points on roughly 230 passing yards in what shapes up as a sluggish defensive road matchup against the Ravens. With turnovers plaguing him weekly and big plays scarce, keep him benched in standard leagues.
