The New York Jets signed Fields as a two-year bridge, with Engstrand reshaping the attack to maximize his dual-threat upside. The Athletic’s QB tier put Fields in a tier-four bucket, ranking him 27th overall—a spot that underscores rotate-in NFL fantasy risk but also a rushing floor ripe for upside in a revamped Jets system.

Fields’ make-or-break year sits beside a cohort of QBs ranked behind him (Richardson, Jones, Penix, McCarthy); Flacco’s veteran patience sits at No. 31. For fantasy managers, Fields’ rushing ability and new scheme create upside as a streamer, with real weekly upside if the Jets lean into his strengths and stay healthy.

Hendon Hooker signed with the Carolina Panthers' practice squad after being released by Detroit. At 27, his mobile, improvisational game still holds dynasty appeal, and a path to action could emerge if Young struggles or injuries thin Carolina's quarterback depth.

The rest of the update spans a college-heavy weekend: William & Mary opens with a three-game homestand, UVA unveils fall plans, and Conference Carolinas cross-country notes sit alongside a mosaic of scores from soccer and volleyball, giving fantasy-minded readers a broad snapshot of college athletics.

Hendon Hooker joined Carolina's practice squad after preseason QB churn, signaling a long-range development plan behind Bryce Young and Andy Dalton. Perkins and Plummer were cut, opening a spot for Hooker’s growth as a potential future signal-caller. Hooker’s Tennessee tape and knee rehab are noted, but Carolina stresses patient development rather than immediate fantasy upside, with Young firmly at the helm and Dalton as the steady veteran backup.

Dynasty managers should view Hooker as a speculative stash, not a Week 1 contributor. The Panthers’ present plans keep Hooker off the fantasy radar in 2024 unless injury or collapse reshapes the depth chart. Jared Goff’s starter arc with Detroit is cited to frame Hooker’s current NFL exposure, reinforcing the broader point: Carolina is building depth and future upside more than immediate production.
