This Week Outlook
Availability
Tom Savage completed five of nine pass attempts for 33 yards, no TDs, and no INTs in the Lions’ loss to the Browns in Thursday’s preseason finale.

Fantasy Impact
Savage played it safe in a relief effort, throwing just three passes and completing two of them for 40 yards. The former Texans QB has a 2-7 record in nine career starts, and he's looking to latch on with the Lions as a backup.
The official Twitter account of the Cincinnati Bengals is reporting the team has claimed QB Tom Savage on waivers from the 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
In the wake of placing Andy Dalton on IR earlier in the day with a thumb injury, the Bengals claimed Savage from the 49ers in a corresponding move. Savage has yet to make an appearance in an NFL game in 2018. He will provide Cincinnati depth at QB behind Jeff Driskel.
Backup quarterback Tom Savage was re-signed by the 49ers after San Francisco placed RB Raheem Mostert (broken arm) and CB Emmanuel Moseley (dislocated shoulder) on season-ending IR. This is Savage's third stint on San Francisco's active roster in the past two weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Savage will act as the emergency quarterback behind C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens. There's almost no path to playing time for Savage, so this stay in San Francisco could also be a short one
Tom Savage had to leave the game early against the San Francisco 49ers, before he left the game he completed 6 passes for 63 yards from 12 attempts.
Fantasy Impact
Given the severity of the injury, Savage is a doubt for Week 15.
