Taylor Heinicke completes two passes in Week 3

Taylor Heinicke completed both of his pass attempts for 24 yards in the Chargers' 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact

Heinicke entered the game late after Justin Herbert re-aggravated his high ankle sprain. Depending on the severity of Herbert's injury, Heinicke could be in line to start in Week 4 against the Chiefs.

Taylor Heinicke traded to Chargers

Taylor Heinicke has been traded to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a conditional sixth-round pick.

Fantasy Impact

Atlanta already has a backup quarterback in first-round rookie Michael Penix Jr., so they felt comfortable enough to trade Heinicke to the Chargers on Wednesday. He won't start but projects to be an upgrade at the QB2 position over Easton Stick, who struggled heavily in his limited action last year.

Taylor Heinicke: L.A. teams, Dolphins are trade suitors

Atlanta Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke, who is set to open the season as their QB3, is a potential trade candidate with the L.A. Rams and Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and more listed as possible suitors.

Fantasy Impact

The Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were also listed as potential destinations, as there are lots of teams who could be looking for a backup QB on the open market. Heinicke has starting experience (29 career starts) and could come in in a pinch and cause havoc with his off-script play style, helping give teams high variability if their starter is ever down.

Taylor Heinicke underwhelming in preseason loss

Taylor Heinicke completed just 8-of-17 passing attempts for 81 yards in Friday's 31-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Heinicke was Atlanta's starter and played for the majority of the game, but he wasn't able to do much against Jacksonville's first and second team defense. He completed less than half of his passing attempts and wasn't able to get much going on the ground through his three rushing attempts. He projects to be the QB3 on this offense and is far from a lock to make the roster or practice squad.

Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke is officially inactive for a Week 18 matchup with the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Heinicke was listed as questionable with an ankle injury and was not able to show enough in pregame warmups to draw the start. The Falcons will turn to Desmond Ridder in the regular season finale.
