Availability
Cooper Rush has signed with the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix are both out with injury, but Tua’s sounds a little less severe based on other reports. Rush will just provide an emergency backup option and a veteran presence as camp gets underway.
The Ravens released QB Cooper Rush.
Fantasy Impact
Baltimore brought back Tyler Huntley to back up Lamar Jackson. Rush will seek a backup job with another team.
Cooper Rush completed 11-of-19 passes for 72 yards and one interception in the Ravens 17-3 loss to the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Rush also lost one fumble in the game and was replaced by Tyler Huntley after the team was trailing by two touchdowns. The Ravens are on a bye in Week 7 and the team expects Lamar Jackson (hamstring) to be ready to return in Week 8.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Cooper Rush would start again if Lamar Jackson is ruled out.
Fantasy Impact
It seems likely that Jackson will remain sidelined. Rush will look to bounce back against the Rams after struggling last week against the Texans.
After Baltimore Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush struggled in Week 5 against Houston, head coach John Harbaugh said the team is considering everything regarding who will start under center in Week 6.
Fantasy Impact
With Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Rush threw for 179 yards and three interceptions with no touchdowns in Week 5. Tyler Huntley is on the Ravens' roster, too, and has started nine games in Baltimore. It's possible he could be elevated to start against the Los Angeles Rams. The Ravens have a bye week in Week 7, so the hope is that Jackson can return for Week 8.
