Garrett Gilbert

Garrett Gilbert was elevated from the practice squad ahead of New England’s game with Detroit.

Fantasy Impact

Gilbert is going to serve as the backup for Bailey Zappe, who is set to make his first career start. The 31-year-old journeyman did play in one game in 2021, completing 64.5% of his passes for 194 yards.

Washington quarterback Garrett Gilbert completed 20 of his 31 passes for 194 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in Tuesday's loss to the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Gilbert was only signed off the Patriots' practice squad on Friday and had only a few days to prepare for Tuesday's match after Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen couldn't test off the reserve/COVID-19 list. Considering those circumstances, he performed admirably on Tuesday, though it didn't result in many points for fantasy managers. Heinicke is expected back for Week 16 against the Cowboys.

Washington QB Garrett Gilbert will start Tuesday's Week 15 matchup against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Neither Taylor Heinicke nor Kyle Allen were able to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols. His presence lowers the floor of Washington's offense as a whole. Terry McLaurin is suddenly a risky WR2 against Philadelphia.

The Patriots sign former Cowboys QB Garrett Gilbert to their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Gilbert is back for a second stint with the Patriots. Behind Mac Jones, Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham he likely won’t find himself on the active roster.

The Cowboys released QBs Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci.

Fantasy Impact

Cooper Rush will be the backup to Dak Prescott this year, but he wouldn't have fantasy value even in the event of an injury.
