NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026Baltimore Beatdown
Undrafted free agent quarterback from Connecticut made the Ravens' 53-man roster as the first UDFA QB in franchise history to achieve this; put together three good exhibition performances and demonstrated the ability to run Declan Doyle's offense well; showed poise in the pocket, ability to work through reads, and deliver accurate passes on time—rare for a rookie, let alone an undrafted one with minimal practice reps entering preseason; Ravens deemed the risk of him clearing waivers to the practice squad too high and kept him as a developmental quarterback and potential long-term backup option behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

Undrafted rookie QB continues to make a case for the Ravens to carry three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster; completed 56 of 75 passes for 509 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception plus a QB sneak for a score in preseason finale, finishing with 74.7% completion rate, 6.7 yards per attempt, and 100 passer rating; poise in the pocket and ability to go through progressions has been truly impressive despite lack of reps for much of training camp; his play may force Baltimore to stray from their usual roster approach.

PositiveBreakoutAug 28, 2026Yahoo Fantasy Football
Undrafted rookie Fagnano has been the Ravens' leading preseason passer with starter Lamar Jackson sitting out and backup Tyler Huntley getting light action. Over his two outings, Fagnano has maintained over 75 percent completion with a touchdown in each game, including a strong performance against the Eagles. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said, "Joe came in, second week in a row, and managed the offense really well... I just like the way we played in the second half." Jason La Confora reported that the third QB job is likely Fagnano's after his stellar film against Philadelphia, where he entered with Baltimore's offense lifeless and suspect.

PositiveBreakoutAug 22, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Undrafted rookie quarterback put up his second stellar performance in a row against the Vikings, driving the offense down the field on multiple scoring drives with several strong passes with pressure in his face; finished 15-of-20 for 123 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions, and one sack. The former UConn starter may be playing himself into 53-man roster consideration, as capable young quarterbacks often get poached off the practice squad once injuries start mounting during the regular season.

PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
The undrafted rookie QB looked like he belonged on an NFL field for the second week in a row; his most impressive trait has been his ability to remain poised under pressure to deliver the pass on target. While it seems unlikely that anything Fagnano could have done this preseason would have unseated Tyler Huntley as the backup quarterback, he is making it difficult to keep him off the 53-man roster after back-to-back impressive showings.

PositiveProjectionAug 17, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano from UConn performed effectively for the Ravens in his first NFL game, completing 22-for-28 for 224 yards. The source uses Fagnano's performance as a contrast to the Eagles' backup quarterbacks, noting that the Ravens ran a vanilla offense similar to the Eagles but Fagnano executed at a much higher level, undermining the excuse that vanilla playcalling was responsible for the Eagles' poor offensive output.
