Joe Fagnano moved from QB2 to QB1 on the Ravens depth chart on Nov. 5 and will make his first NFL start Thursday night against Jacksonville. Fagnano was limited with an ankle issue this week but has been cleared to play. Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are sidelined by injuries, and trade acquisition Jacoby Brissett won't be available until Week 10.

Fagnano is a low-level streaming option for Week 9 only in desperate situations. He played just 40 per cent of snaps in Week 8 against Buffalo and posted minus 0.1 half-PPR points with 10 of 21 passing for 91 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Jacksonville allows 15.6 half-PPR points a game to quarterbacks, the 9th fewest of 32, and Fagnano's accuracy and efficiency numbers rank at the bottom of the league.

Joe Fagnano

Fagnano was QB2 before the change on Nov. 5 and is now QB1. He completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in Week 8 against Buffalo, adding three carries for three yards on 40 per cent of snaps for minus 0.1 half-PPR points. His completion percentage over expected was minus 16.4 in his one game, and his EPA per attempt was minus 0.49. His role is worth more than his recent points, as he is scoring 7.6 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts.

Jacksonville allows 15.6 half-PPR points a game to quarterbacks, the 9th fewest of 32. Fagnano's accuracy issues and limited snap share make him a risky streamer even in this emergency start. Our models project 5.9 half-PPR points a game and give him a Roundup Score of 8 out of 99, QB49 overall. Stream him Thursday night only if you have no other options and drop him immediately after, as Brissett is expected to take over in Week 10.

What to do

• Stream Joe Fagnano on Thursday night only if you have no other quarterback options in superflex or two-quarterback leagues.

• Drop Fagnano immediately after Week 9, as Jacoby Brissett is expected to take over the starting job in Week 10.

• Do not add Fagnano in standard one-quarterback leagues, where better streaming options are available.
