Nathan Rourke

The Atlanta Falcons are signing free agent QB Nathan Rourke.

Fantasy Impact

Rourke, a former Jacksonville Jaguar and New England Patriot, was waived by the New York Giants on July 28 and is now signing with Atlanta. The Falcons have three QBs who are likely to make the roster (Kirk Cousins, Michael Penix Jr. and Taylor Heinicke), so Rourke is climbing uphill to make the 53-man team. However, he has a chance to fight for another job on a practice squad.

The New York Giants released QB Nathan Rourke.

Fantasy Impact

Rourke will look to land with another team in training camp to try to earn a depth role in the quarterback room.

The Giants claimed QB Nathan Rourke off waivers from the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Rourke spent time with both the Jaguars and Patriots after playing in the CFL. He figures to add some depth to the quarterback room in New York with the Giants.

The New England Patriots have claimed QB Nathan Rourke off of the waiver wire from the Jacksonville Jaguars, setting him up to be the team's new QB3.

Fantasy Impact

Rourke will likely remain on the Patriots' practice squad to serve as the team's new emergency quarterback, playing behind both Bailey Zappe and Mac Jones. The Patriots suddenly found themselves in need of a backup QB after Will Grier was poached by the Los Angeles Chargers. Rourke, who had a successful CFL stint, has never played a snap in the NFL.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived 25-year-old QB Nathan Rourke to make room for WR Jamal Agnew, who is returning from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Rourke, who has gone back and forth between the Jags' active roster and practice squad, will likely go back to Jacksonville's practice squad. With QB Trevor Lawrence healthy enough to play, the Jaguars only need two QBs on their active roster (Lawrence and C.J. Beathard) and can keep Rourke as the emergency QB.
