This one trade can turn them into Super Bowl favorites.
Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano (25, 6‑3, 230 lb) leaps from UConn’s 2025 breakout—3,448 yards, 28 TDs, one interception—to a first‑start for the Baltimore Ravens after injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. After seven college seasons at Maine and Connecticut, he signs a three‑year, $3.1 million deal in April 2026, with base salaries of $885K, $1.05M and $1.165M. The coach announces his debut against Jacksonville on Nov 5, 2026. The profile also highlights his college accolades, including a Fenway Bowl MVP and Heisman candidacy.
Jacksonville’s lead back Bhayshul Tuten is cleared to play Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens despite ankle and foot injuries that sidelined him all week. After a 42-7 win over the Colts where he posted 159 scrimmage yards, two touchdowns and became the first Jags player since 2007 to hit 100 rushing, 50 receiving yards and multiple scores in a game, Tuten is expected to receive a near‑normal workload. The Jaguars sit 5-2 atop the AFC South, while the Ravens, now 4-4, will start rookie QB Joe Fagnano after Lamar Jackson’s injury. Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium.
The Jacksonville Jaguars travel to Baltimore for a Thursday Night Football showdown on Nov. 5, 2026, kicking off at 7:15 p.m. CT (8:15 p.m. ET). The game streams nationally on Prime Video (Prime membership required) and is available on NFL+ for mobile. Local TV spots feature FOX30 in Jacksonville and WMAR‑TV (ABC) Channel 2 in Baltimore. Jaguars lead the AFC South (5‑2) after a 42‑7 win, with Trevor Lawrence at the helm, while the Ravens (4‑4) are missing Lamar Jackson and start rookie QB Joe Fagnano. Betting lines show Jacksonville as a 10‑point favorite.
The Baltimore Ravens trade for Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett as they cope with injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, both placed on IR after a loss to Buffalo. Austin Reed joins the 53‑man roster as the immediate backup, while Joe Fagnano starts Thursday’s home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brissett is expected to take over once the trade finalizes, replacing his recent benching in Arizona for Gardner Minshew. The Ravens sit at 4‑4 and hope Brissett can steady the offense while they await news on Jackson’s health.
Marvin Harrison Jr. returns from the Texans’ Week 8 bye still fighting for a larger role after a trade from Arizona on Oct. 11. In Houston he’s posted just four catches for 40 yards on eight targets across two games, including a 6‑yard TD in a 34‑31 win over the Jaguars and a costly drop in an overtime loss to the Giants. With the Texans (2‑5) facing a winless Chargers squad in Week 9, Harrison’s snap count remains low and he’s a bench‑warm‑or‑flex in most PPR leagues. He only becomes a viable waiver add if his targets increase to five or more and his snaps surpass teammate Tank Dell’s.

ESPN insider Adam Schefter hints that Indianapolis Colts starter Daniel Jones could become a surprise trade target before the NFL deadline on Tuesday. Schefter mentions the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings as potential suitors, noting the Ravens' quarterback injuries and the Vikings' hamstring‑hit Kyler Murray, plus Jones’s prior stint with Minnesota. The Colts, sitting 2‑6 after a 42‑7 loss to Jacksonville, have already moved key players like Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and Jones’s $5.5 million base salary may make a deal feasible. Schefter stresses the rumor isn’t a confirmed move, but the speculation adds intrigue to the upcoming deadline.
The EssentiallySports staff lay out their Week 9 NFL picks as the league hits the midway point.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, sitting 5-2 and boasting the NFL’s fifth‑ranked offense, look to shore up their defense before the Nov. 10 trade deadline after season‑ending injuries to safety Eric Murray and DT DaVon Hamilton. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell says the Jaguars see Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, 25, as a “luxury trade target.” Ojomo posted a career‑high six sacks in 2025 and could replace the departing Arik Armstead if Jacksonville extends his contract, while the Eagles may gain draft picks as they move on from a surplus interior line. The move could boost Jacksonville’s postseason chances.

Ayanna Taylor takes the trade chatter about her husband, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, to TikTok, likening her anxiety to a "prized calf waiting for the slaughter" as the NFL trade deadline looms on Nov. 10. She posts videos after Indianapolis’ 42-7 loss to Jacksonville, asks fans if a "quiet storm" is brewing, and notes interest from teams like Minnesota. Meanwhile, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says the Colts want a "Christian McCaffrey-type" return, even as they’ve already moved Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner and faced a trade request from Josh Downs. Taylor himself shrugs off the hype, saying TikTok won’t change anything.
Why the Las Vegas Raiders trading Jackson Powers-Johnson to the Jacksonville Jaguars in a deal for Brian Thomas Jr. could work for both sides.
Wide receiver Josh Downs addressed trade rumors surrounding his future with the Indianapolis Colts, denying that he directly asked to be moved. Speaking to reporters, Downs emphasized his contract and commitment to the team that drafted him, while acknowledging the speculation. He leads the Colts in receiving yards this season with 30 catches for 330 yards and a touchdown, though his recent output has dipped, including a 23-yard, one‑touchdown performance in a 42‑7 loss to Jacksonville. Coach Shane Steichen confirms Downs is still practicing as the trade deadline looms ahead of the Cowboys matchup.
Colts running back Jonathan Taylor says the nonstop trade chatter has turned into background noise as Indianapolis readies for its Week 9 showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. The 27‑year‑old has amassed 610 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in a 2‑6 season, but endured a rough 42‑7 loss to Jacksonville, fumbling once. Despite the franchise’s recent moves—trading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner—and rejecting a 2027 second‑round offer for Taylor, he insists his focus is on ending the four‑game skid and delivering a better product against the Cowboys. The article details his stats, the trade rumors, and the stakes for Sunday’s game.
The AFC North preview highlights the Ravens’ crisis after losing both starters Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to season‑ending injuries, leaving third‑string QB Joe Fagnano to face a tough Jacksonville Jaguars matchup. Jacksonville, 5‑2 with the league’s best point differential (+85) and a stingy run defense, forces Baltimore to rely on quick outlet passes. Meanwhile, the Steelers enjoy a bye, the Bengals travel to Spain to play the Falcons after a dramatic OT win over the Titans, and the Browns head to New Orleans seeking a bounce‑back without Deshaun Watson. Key storylines include quarterback depth, run‑game challenges, and defensive matchups across the division.
Week 9 will open with Thursday night's matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars. It will culminate with a Monday night showdown between the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings.

The Eagles, sitting 2-6 without Jalen Hurts, face a pivotal trade‑deadline decision centered on defensive tackle Moro Ojomo. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Jacksonville may trade for Ojomo to bolster its line, testing Philadelphia’s willingness to retain or move the player despite recent extensions for Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. How the Eagles handle Ojomo could signal their overall deadline strategy, even as they keep Saquon Barkley and gear up for a Week 9 showdown with the Giants on Nov 8.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson tells The Athletic he’s no longer dwelling on his offseason trade request as the NFL trade deadline looms. The Indianapolis Colts remain active in the market, but Richardson says he’s focused on "getting on the field, showing up to work and preparing" for any opportunity, including a possible start after his cameo against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coach Shane Steichen may still decide between Richardson and Daniel Jones as the Colts seek a spark in a struggling season.
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 9 fantasy worksheet highlights a Thursday Night clash where the Jaguars (ranked 5th in points per game, +85 point differential) host the Ravens (30th in offensive EPA). Jacksonville leads the league in takeaway scores and 10‑yard passing gains, while Baltimore struggles in the second half and ranks near the bottom in yards per play after Lamar Jackson’s season‑ending injury. Trevor Lawrence, a QB5 in fantasy scoring, is a back‑end QB1 upside if the Jags maintain a lopsided script, but his value drops in late‑game situations. The Ravens have allowed big fantasy performances to QBs like Burrow and Allen, making the matchup a potential high‑scoring affair for fantasy owners.
Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter couldn't help but be starstruck when WWE legend Big Show made an appearance at Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Leanna Lenee, wife of Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter, reveals the discomfort of her game‑day outfit for the Nov. 1 Jaguars‑Colts matchup. In a TikTok "outfit‑check" she says the custom off‑the‑shoulder jersey, leather‑style jeans, black heels and belly chain "hurt like heck," though she doesn’t specify which piece. She also shows her son’s last‑minute coordinated look. The Jaguars dominated Indianapolis 42‑7, with Trevor Lawrence throwing three TDs and Bhayshul Tuten rushing for 104 yards. Hunter logged a five‑yard rush and four tackles. Leanna’s fashion flair continues to draw attention after a previous Jaguar‑themed dress at a Patriots game.
On his SiriusXM show, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo warns that the NFL’s expanding primetime slate is turning into a string of “dead” games. He cites 13 upcoming matchups—including New England at the winless Los Angeles Chargers, Cincinnati at Washington, Jacksonville‑Baltimore, and a Christmas‑Eve showdown between the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles—as likely ratings duds. Russo argues the league’s push for more Thursday, Black‑Friday and holiday games is stretching talent thin, leaving viewers with uncompetitive broadcasts despite the NFL’s ratings dominance.
