QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, WAS (2 Viewers)

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) could be cleared to play by Week 7. 

Whether Fitzpatrick gets the team's starting job back is another question entirely. La Canfora said Washington coaches are "eager to get him back, but that could prove to be more about depth than anything else. Some in the organization preferred [Taylor] Heinicke, who is spry and plays the game with a high-energy style." Many in the organization, per La Canfora, believed Heinicke "was the better quarterback in the summer, and they believe he may be a better fit moving forward as well." Some big plays and Heinicke's penchant for taking off from the pocket -- he has 22 rushing attempts in four starts this season -- has kept him fantasy relevant, though his mistakes are starting to pile up. He tossed two picks in the Football Team's Week 5 loss to the Saints. New Orleans defenders dropped at least two other interceptions. Continued struggles from Heinicke could leave Ron Rivera no choice but to put Fitzpatrick back under center.

The Athletic's Ben Standig reported that Washington QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) was expected to get an MRI early this week.

The Football Team has kept quiet about Fitzpatrick, who hasn't played since he exited in Week 1 with a hip injury. An MRI would provide insight as to where he is in the recovery process, so fantasy managers who are invested in the Washington offense will need to keep an eye out for an update over the next few days.

Ryan Fitzpatrick's (hip) MRI showed "some progress," but he remains without a timetable for return from injured reserve.

Fitzpatrick was injured in Week 1, and it's been Taylor Heinicke under center ever since. It'll remain that way for the foreseeable future, starting with a Week 10 date with the Bucs out of Washington's bye week.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) is not expected to return this season.

Fitzpatrick got slammed by a Chargers defensive lineman in Week 1 and suffered a hip subluxation. The injury was originally supposed to sideline him for upwards of two months but the team has continually pushed back his timeline. Fitzpatrick is a free agent at the end of the year and it’s unclear if the team will want to bring him back. Washington is on pace for a top-five pick and they already have Taylor Heinicke under contract for another year. With Heinicke at the helm for the remainder of the season, only Terry McLaurin can be trusted out of this team’s wideouts.

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia said Ryan Fitzpatrick would be a good fit as Josh Allen's backup in 2022. 

The Bills are going to lose Mitchell Trubisky in free agency and Fitzpatrick will be available after missing almost the entire 2021 season with Washington. Fitzpatrick, a former Bills starter, has remained a supporter of the franchise, as evidenced by his shirtless appearance at a frigid Buffalo home game in the 2021 postseason. Fitz's "personality and locker room dynamic ... would mesh with Allen as well as peanut butter takes to jelly on a sandwich," Buscaglia said. "The duo would be excellent together, given their humor and relatively laid back yet ultra-competitive demeanor." If Fitzpatrick, 39, doesn't retire, look for the Bills to pursue him in free agency.

At the time of his retirement, he is 32nd in all time passing yards and tied for 36th in passing TDs. Hell of a career for a QB that never made the playoffs. Very entertaining career.

 
He was fun to watch at times and made the most out of his talent.  Not bad for a late round pick.

 
At age 37, he was the Dolphin's leading rusher in 2019 with 243 yards and 4 TDs. At age 38, his qbr behind perhaps the worst oline in football was 5th best. His 2 big moments with Miami:

His insane no look  pass to beat the Raiders in 2019 with his face mask twisted by a defender: https://youtu.be/-HoMcQCRHn8

His comeback drive and TD pass to Gesicki to beat the Patriots, giving KC homefield advantage leading to a SB win. Kevin Harlan calls 2 games at the same time:
