The moment we've all been waiting for - we finally know who will be starting for the Washington Commanders going forward. Head coach Ron Rivera announced on Wednesday that quarterback Taylor Heinicke will start for the team in Week 11 against the Houston Texans.
Carson Wentz is still on injured reserve with a finger injury, but he is eligible to resume throwing. It's unclear whether Heinicke will remain the starter for the remainder of the season, or if it's just next week.
In my personal opinion, I think Heinicke has more than earned it. The offense plays better with him, and his record (3-1 as a starter) shows it. He'll get a gimme game against the Texans, but beating the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles was a huge momentum shift for the Commanders. more qb news:

The Washington Commanders beat the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, which sparked questions that have been brewing for a few weeks: Should Taylor Heinicke keep the starting job? Will Carson Wentz, the intended starter, get his job back? Wentz is currently on injured reserve but is set to return soon. The Commanders' offense is playing better with Heinicke. Washington is 3-1 when Heinicke starts, compared to just 2-4 under Wentz. The Commanders will also have to give up a second-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts if Wentz plays 70 percent of snaps. It's a no-brainer for me. Head coach Ron Rivera spoke on Tuesday and did not name a starter for Week 11.

Mystery has surrounded Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen after he suffered an elbow injury in Sunday's game. While rumors swirled that he had a UCL injury that may end his season (and, therefore, potentially the Bills' season), the team got good news on Wednesday that Allen is considered day-to-day and will be questionable for Week 10's game.
Head coach Sean McDermott said Allen will not practice today (Wednesday), and while it doesn't seem promising for this week, at least his season isn't over. Day-to-day is definitely better than week-to-week.
more qb news:
Buffalo Bills quarterback and MVP-favorite Josh Allen is said to be dealing with an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury and the team is currently evaluating the situation and running more tests to determine the severity of the injury. Allen hurt the elbow on this play and was seen grabbing it immediately after.
First of all, this isn't good news at all. If he were to miss any extended amount of time, it would all but mean the Bills are done this season. A lot is riding on this injury.
more QB notes:
Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out for Thursday Night Football.
Taylor suffered an ankle injury in Week Four, and while tests were initially negative, Taylor is still not well enough to play with the TNF's quick turnaround. However, Taylor should be available for Week Six, barring a setback, as he is said to have avoided serious injury. You should see more of Phillip Lindsay and Nyheim Hines in his absence. more:
The Buffalo Bills started the season with a beautiful first drive right into the end zone. Quarterback Josh Allen threw a 26-yard pass to wide receiver Gabriel Davis for a touchdown. Allen was 5-for-5 with 58 yards on the drive. A turnover fest broke out in the second quarter, with three straight turnovers. First, Allen "threw" an interception to receiver Isaiah McKenzie (who straight up dropped it). Then, running back James Cook fumbled the ball on his first carry shortly after. Finally, Rams QB Matthew Stafford gave it right back, throwing an interception to CB Dane Jackson. The Bills ended this turnover streak with a field goal to take a 10-0 lead over Los Angeles. The game went into halftime tied 10-10 after a phenomenal catch from wide receiver Cooper Kupp. It's good. Trust me.
Following halftime, Buffalo appeared to make adjustments as they forced a Rams' three-and-out. A stiff arm and a redemption touchdown by McKenzie later, the Bills were up 17-10.
Buffalo came away with the win, beating the Rams 31-10.

The time has come. It is genuinely my Super Bowl.
To my delight, the New York Jets announced that Joseph Vincent Flacco will start at the quarterback position in Week 1. Who do they play, you ask? Why, his old team! The Baltimore Ravens!
ALLEGED starting quarterback Zach Wilson had knee surgery three weeks ago, making a return by Week One unlikely. The Jets wouldn't say which QB would be under center until Wednesday, but it appears Baltimore prepared for their former Super Bowl winner all along. Stakes will be high, but leave it to Flacco to keep emotions under wraps as he takes on a once-in-lifetime revenge game at Metlife on Sunday. For my picks this weekend, head to my Patreon. more:
The Los Angeles Rams kick off the 2022 NFL season on Thursday, but one of its members who won a ring with the team will be absent. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is a free agent, as he's been nursing a knee injury this offseason. However, reports surfaced on Monday that the Rams have kept Beckham's locker (with the nameplate - very important) intact, perhaps keeping him in mind when he's healthy and ready to return. Adding fuel to the fire, Beckham tweeted on Tuesday that he would be watching the game very closely, which led to questions of whether his decision to sign was between the Rams and their opponent, the Buffalo Bills.
One thing to note: The Rams and Buffalo are two teams linked to landing the star WR this off-season. While a resolution might not come until later in the season due to his recovery, Beckham could certainly have to decide between these two teams, which may not be a bad problem to have. more:
