Availability
Jack Strand completed 8 of 15 passes for 59 yards with a pick-six and a fumble in the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also ran twice for 16 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Strand got off to a rocky start with a pick-six three plays after he came in relief duty for the benched Cooper Rush. It will be tough to trust Strand or Rush at any point moving forward if the offense needs to rely on them.
Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said Jack Strand will be the backup quarterback again on Sunday against the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
It will be Cooper Rush drawing another start with Michael Penix Jr. ruled out and Tua Tagovailoa listed as doubtful.
Jack Strand will enter Sunday's season opener for the Falcons as the backup quarterback.
Fantasy Impact
Tua Tagovailoa was ruled out with an oblique injury. Cooper Rush will get the start as a result.
Jack Strand took all of the 11-on-11 reps at Falcons training camp on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Strand continues to work with the starters as Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa ease their way back from injuries. Penix took reps in 7-on-7 drills on Friday.
QB Jack Strand has signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent.
Fantasy Impact
Strand played collegiately at Division II Minnesota-Moorehead, where he was a Second Team All-American in 2025, and finished fourth in the Harlon Hill voting - Division II's version of the Heisman Trophy. Strand led the conference in passing yardage (3,546) and accounted for 47 total touchdowns as a senior, setting Minnesota-Moorehead's single-season record with 42 passing scores. Strand finished his career ranked 10th all-time in Division II with 13,161 yards in 42 games. He'll head to Atlanta to compete for a spot on the roster.
