  • Plans to stay with Miami

    Fitzpatrick intends to play for the Dolphins in 2020, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick seems to be on the same page as general manager Chris Grier, who said last week that he hopes the 37-year-old quarterback will stay in Miami for another season. Fitzpatrick is entering the second season of a two-year, $13.5 million contract, boasting a strong argument to ask for a pay raise. The Dolphins presumably will try to acquire a young QB, but that doesn't necessarily mean Fitzpatrick will need to battle for the Week 1 starting job.

  • Expected back in Miami

    GM Chris Grier expects Fitzpatrick to play for the Dolphins in 2020, the second season of a two-year, $13.5 million contract, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports. "We fully expect Ryan to be back and playing," Grier said. "He did a great job in the locker room, his leadership and just his enthusiasm."

    Analysis: The contract had a base value of $11 million, with an extra $2.5 million added to the 2020 base salary after Fitzpatrick played more than 75 percent of offensive snaps in 2019. The Dolphins will be happy to pay the escalator, and they might even consider tacking on some more money if it helps convince the 37-year-old to play another season, something he wasn't willing to commit to after Week 17. At the same time, the team needs to find a young quarterback to build around, preferably sooner than…read more

  • Puts fitting cap on unlikely season

    Fitzpatrick completed 28 of 41 passes for 320 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 27-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 15 yards and another score and fumbled once but recovered.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick saved his best of a highly improbable season for last, authoring his fourth 300-yard effort of the last seven games and one of the more unlikely regular-season upsets in recent memory in the process. Fitzpatrick capped off the game with a 13-play, 75-yard march that culminated in a five-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki, which proved to be the game-winning score. Fitzpatrick undeniably injected life into the Dolphins' offense since reclaiming the starting job in Week 7, and he…read more

  • Undecided on future

    Fitzpatrick said Friday that he hasn't yet made any decision on his playing future and intends to "go through the process and figure things out" during the offseason, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick said that he feels "great" physically and still loves playing, a hint that he could be leaning toward continuing his career. The 37-year-old has had a more than solid inaugural season in Miami and remains under contract through 2020, so the team would have reasonable incentive to keep the signal-caller in the building unless he opts to retire. The Dolphins are candidates to invest a high draft pick into a rookie quarterback this spring, and they also have second-year signal-caller…read more

  • Tallies four TDs in wild OT win

    Fitzpatrick completed 31 of 52 passes for 419 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 38-35 overtime win against the Bengals on Sunday. He also rushed five times for nine yards.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick continued his late-season tear with a spectacular showing against one of the most vulnerable defenses in the league, hitting DeVante Parker, Mike Gesicki (twice) and Christian Wilkins on a tackle-eligible play for his touchdowns. Fitzpatrick then led a game-winning march in overtime, one in which he had a pair of key completions to Isaiah Ford to get Miami into field-goal range. Fitzpatrick has now eclipsed the 300-yard mark in three of his last six games, and his 19 touchdown…read more

  • Takes over team rushing lead

    Fitzpatrick completed 23 of 41 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants. He added four carries for 33 yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick heated up in the second quarter, capping a string of seven consecutive completions with a 20-yard touchdown to DeVante Parker to open the scoring. He cooled right back down after that, however, failing to notch another touchdown until he found Parker again for a 29-yard score with less than two minutes remaining in the game. The veteran quarterback also remarkably took over as Miami's leading rusher for the season with 219 yards, as he's done his fair share of scrambling while the…read more

  • Will remain starter

    Fitzpatrick will continue to be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins' Week 15 road game against the Giants, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Miami's failure to get into the end zone and instead settle for seven field goals ultimately doomed the team in Sunday's one-point loss to the Jets. Fitzpatrick himself completed 21 of 37 passes for 245 yards and one interception, leaving him with a 13:12 TD:INT in 12 appearances this season. He may have an easier time getting back on the TD ledger this coming weekend versus a Giants defense that entered Week 14 having allowed 22 touchdown passes to quarterbacks over 12 contests in 2019.

  • No TDs in one-point loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 21 of 37 passes for 245 yards and an interception while adding 65 rushing yards on seven carries in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick moved the offense well but couldn't convert in close, leading to eight field-goal attempts and seven makes for kicker Jason Sanders. Those who started the veteran signal-caller enjoyed a season-high rushing performance from Fitzpatrick, but his TD:INT this season is an unenviable 13:12.

  • Wins third start since Nov. 1

    Fitzpatrick completed 27 of 39 pass attempts for 365 yards, while throwing three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 37-31 win against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: It was shaky in the early going for Fitzpatrick, as he threw an interception to Ronald Darby on Miami's first play from scrimmage and he absorbed two sacks within the Dolphins' first three offensive drives. He settled in with a 43-yard strike to DeVante Parker on Miami's fourth possession and threw two more TDs in the second half after the Dolphins fell into a 28-14 third-quarter deficit. Fitzpatrick has thrown to a 8:4 TD:INT with 272 passing yards per game since Week 9, while leading his team…read more

  • No danger of missing time

    Coach Brian Flores said Wednesday when asked about Fitzpatrick's shoulder injury that the veteran quarterback is "fighting through it in practice and games, so he'll be out there," Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick has been battling shoulder discomfort for three weeks now, but he hasn't missed any time and managed to practice in full Wednesday. The veteran quarterback is again practicing Thursday, and he'll start against the Eagles on Sunday barring any unforeseen setbacks. Fitzpatrick boasts a physical game -- he's rushed 30 times for 119 yards and three touchdowns this season -- and at age 37, getting nicked up may simply be a necessary consequence of that playing style.

  • Three total TDs in loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 21 of 39 passes for 214 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 41-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 45 yards and another score and committed one fumble but recovered.

    Analysis: The veteran signal-caller celebrated his 37th birthday with a few highlights that were interspersed with a pair of turnovers against an aggressive Browns defense. Fitzpatrick connected with Mike Gesicki and Allen Hurns for his pair of passing scores, but with Miami down by four touchdowns before it was able to get into the end zone, Fitzpatrick frequently faced plenty of crowded secondaries that were keyed in on defending the pass. Fitzpatrick clearly continues to give the Dolphins a fighting…read more

  • Ready to rock

    Fitzpatrick (shoulder/forearm) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's tilt against the Browns, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick kicked off the week with back-to-back limited practices, but he looks back to full health after participating without restrictions during Friday's session. As expected, the 36-year-old veteran is set to start under center during Sunday's contest against the Browns. Fitzpatrick has gone two straight games without a passing touchdown, and he'll look to break that streak against a top-10 pass defense in Cleveland.

  • Practicing for third straight day

    Fitzpatrick (shoulder/forearm) took part in Friday's practice, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick was limited at practice the last couple days, and he may be Friday as well. However, with him getting in at least some work at all three of the Dolphins' practice sessions this week, it's looking likely he will be able to give it a go Sunday against the Browns.

  • Another limited practice

    Fitzpatrick (shoulder/forearm) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to kick off Week 12. The veteran signal-caller still appears on track to start under center in Cleveland on Sunday, but if he manages to practice without limitations during Friday's final session of the week it would alleviate any concerns. Given that Fitzpatrick's forearm and shoulder injuries are both related to his right throwing arm, his health will be worth keeping a close eye on.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Fitzpatrick was limited in Wednesday's practice due to right shoulder and forearm injuries, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick appears to have gotten nicked up during the Week 11 loss to the Bills. It's certainly positive that the veteran signal-caller wasn't held out of Wednesday's practice entirely, but the fact that both injuries are related to his throwing arm is somewhat concerning. Assuming Fitzpatrick is eventually able to practice fully by the end of the week, he should enter the contest without an injury designation.

  • Keeps starting job

    Fitzpatrick will make another start Sunday in Cleveland, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick had an unusual stat line in Sunday's 37-20 loss to Buffalo, piling up 45 pass attempts and 323 yards without a touchdown or interception. He's at least been consistently competent since the Dolphins moved him back into the starting role in Week 7, completing 66.1 percent of passes for 6.8 yards per attempt while helping the team pick up a pair of wins. The Cleveland defense ranks No. 5 in passing yards allowed per game (216.8), No. 8 in sacks (30) and No. 17 in yards per attempt…read more

  • Efficient in loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 32 of 45 passes for 323 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick marked season highs in attempts, completions, yards and completion percentage, but the Miami defense stalled too often Sunday, with a whopping seven sacks stymieing drives. The veteran passer has taken 18 sacks over the past four weeks as Miami has struggled to keep teams honest with the running game. Given the team's struggles on the ground, don't be surprised if Fitzpatrick is asked to continue to gun next Sunday despite a matchup against a top-10 pass defense in Cleveland.

  • Will remain starting QB

    Coach Brian Flores termed Fitzpatrick the Dolphins' starting quarterback for the "foreseeable future," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick was forced to the sideline for a spell Sunday at Indianapolis to be checked for a concussion, but his ability to return and lead the Dolphins to a second victory in a row more or less solidified his standing over second-year signal caller Josh Rosen. On the season, Fitzpatrick has completed 62 percent of his passes, averaged a modest 6.6 yards per attempt and posted an 8:8 TD:INT in eight appearances.

    Fitzpatrick completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 169 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in the team's Week 10 victory over the Colts. However, he did add four rushes for 23 yards and a score.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick struggled to produce through the air, averaging just 5.1 yards per attempt. However, he also converted the team's only touchdown of the game on an 11-yard scamper just before halftime. Of note, Fitzpatrick was also briefly held out of the game late in the fourth quarter while being evaluated for a concussion, but he was able to return to the contest, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

  • Three-TD quarter produces first W

    Fitzpatrick completed 24 of 36 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 26-18 win over the Jets. He added two yards on five rushing attempts.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick completed perhaps the easiest touchdown pass of his career from 12 yards out to a wide open Preston Williams in the second quarter. He added two more passing scores before halftime, finding DeVante Parker from 17 yards out and Williams again from five. The veteran quarterback was also brought down in the end zone for a safety in the final minute of the first half, but his play in the second quarter up until that point was enough to earn his team its first win of 2019.

  • Retains starting gig

    Fitzpatrick will remain the Dolphins' starting quarterback Week 9 against the Jets, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick struggled to move the offense after the first quarter of Monday's loss to the Steelers, but he'll nonetheless hold on to the reigns for at least one more contest. Over his last two starts, Fitzpatrick has compiled a meager 3:3 TD:INT and has fumbled four times, losing one of them. The veteran is set for a favorable matchup in Week 9, putting him under consideration in leagues that start two quarterbacks or utilize a QB flex spot. Even if Fitzpatrick shows improved form in his…read more

    Fitzpatrick completed 21 of 34 passes for 190 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Monday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers. He also had two fumbles, one of which he recovered.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick also ran the ball four times for 11 yards and was sacked four times. The veteran quarterback led the Dolphins to an early first quarter lead, connecting with Allen Hurns and Albert Wilson for scores, but Miami's offense struggled to make anything happen after that point. The winless Dolphins unit didn't manage to score during the game's final three quarters, or even march into field-goal territory.

    Fitzpatrick completed 23 of 35 passes for 282 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Dolphins' 31-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed six times for 13 yards and another score and committed two fumbles but lost neither.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick was back in a stadium where he threw for 71 touchdowns between the 2010 and 2012 seasons, and he seemed to recapture some of that same magic on an afternoon when the winless Dolphins put a legitimate scare into the Bills. Fitzpatrick hit DeVante Parker for his one touchdown pass, which came from 12 yards out in the latter portion of the second quarter.

    The Dolphins named Fitzpatrick their starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Buffalo, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Brian Flores apparently changed his mind at some point this week, having previously said he would stick with Josh Rosen as the starter even after the second-year pro was replaced (and outplayed) by Fitzpatrick in the Week 6 loss to Washington. The Week 7 matchup couldn't get much worse, with the Dolphins traveling to Buffalo to face a Bills defense that ranks second in the league at 5.5 yards allowed per pass attempt.

  • Almost leads comeback in relief

    Fitzpatrick replaced Josh Rosen (coach's decision) during Sunday's 17-16 loss, completing 12 of 18 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown while adding five yards on two carries. Head coach Brian Flores said after the game that Rosen will remain the starter, Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick came in early in the fourth quarter and led Miami's only two touchdown drives during his four series, capping off the fourth with an 11-yard touchdown pass to DeVante Parker that the veteran passer whipped in during the game's final seconds. The Dolphins went for the win on the next play, but Fitzpatrick was unable to connect with Kenyan Drake. Despite Sunday's near-heroics, Fitzpatrick has put up poor numbers this season, and it'd make little sense to start him ahead of Rosen on a…read more

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick replaced Rosen under center with the Dolphins down 17-3, and he'll work to get the team's aerial attack going for the first time all game. Before being relieved by Fitzpatrick, Rosen had 15 completed passes for 85 yards and two interceptions. The second-year pro had also been sacked five times.

    Fitzpatrick will serve as the backup to Josh Rosen during Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick's leash in Miami appears to have run out after two consecutive blowout losses. The team is instead opting to see how second-year pro Josh Rosen is able to command the offense Week 3. Considering that the Dolphins appear to be focusing on the future and intent on evaluating the potential of their younger players, it's possible that the 36-year-old Fitzpatrick could remain relegated to backup duties going forward even if Rosen struggles.

  • Sharing practice snaps with Rosen

    Fitzpatrick split starting snaps with Josh Rosen during Thursday's practice, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick remains the starter "right now" according to coach Brian Flores, but it's worth noting that he's no longer receiving the lion's share of starting snaps, as he did during last week's practices. The 36-year-old veteran has been pulled from action in each of Miami's contests this season, allowing Rosen to enter both games during the fourth quarter. Rosen is assured to start at some point this season, but the Dolphins could opt to make a switch under center sooner rather than later if…read more

    Analysis: Flores also affirmed that the Dolphins have not explored trading Fitzpatrick, according to Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. In Fitzpatrick's two starts under center this season, the Dolphins have been outscored, 102-10, and both contests concluded with the 36-year-old veteran being pulled from the game in favor of second-year pro Josh Rosen. Unless Fitzpatrick manages to turn things around and ignite Miami's offense against the Cowboys on Sunday, it seems inevitable that the reigns…read more

    Fitzpatrick (coach's decision) was removed from Sunday's contest against the Patriots with 8:57 remaining in the fourth quarter and replaced under center by Josh Rosen, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick is being pulled from a second consecutive regular-season game. He exited midway through the fourth quarter with the Dolphins trailing 36-0. The veteran quarterback completed 11 of 21 passes for 89 yards and three interceptions, two of which resulted in pick-sixes. It remains to be seen whether Fitzpatrick will manage to keep his grip on the Dolphins' starting job after two disastrous performances.

  • Tabbed for Week 1 start

    Fitzpatrick will start the Dolphins' season opener Sunday, Sept. 8 against the Ravens, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The addition of Josh Rosen via trade during April's draft gave Fitzpatrick a bit of competition for the starting role. With the Week 1 start confirmed, he'll be under center to kick off a game with an eighth different team. The matchup isn't exactly a great one, though, against a Baltimore defense that ranked fifth versus the pass (210 yards per game) in 2018.

  • Doesn't know Week 1 fate

    Coach Brian Flores said Sunday that he still isn't sure whether Fitzpatrick or Josh Rosen will get the Week 1 start, Adam Beasley of The Miami Herald reports. "This could go either way," Flores said. "I think they're both working hard, both have leadership, both have done a lot of good things. This will be a hard decision for the staff."

    Analysis: Flores admits the decision become more difficult after Rosen led a 99-yard touchdown drive in Thursday's preseason win over Jacksonville. Fitzpatrick completed 12 of 18 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown in the contest, but he struggled throughout the first quarter when the Jaguars had most of their key defensive players on the field. He'll face a tough task to keep his job if he gets the Week 1 start, with the Dolphins opening their campaign against the Ravens, Patriots, Cowboys and…read more

  • Facing pressure from Rosen

    Coach Brian Flores said Friday that deciding the Dolphins' starting quarterback for Week 1 became "harder" after the team's third preseason game, Alain Poupart of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick started Thursday's preseason win over the Jaguars, completing 12 of 18 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. The veteran signal-caller struggled to move the offense during the first half, but he rallied to produce a touchdown drive in the third quarter capped by an 8-yard pass to Mark Walton. Josh Rosen then entered and compiled a 99-yard touchdown drive of his own, which featured a number of impressive scrambles and throws, including a 39-yard connection to Isaiah Ford. Fitzpatrick…read more

  • Struggles during first half

    Fitzpatrick completed 12 of 18 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown in a little more than a half of work during Thursday's 22-7 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: The final tally looks solid, but there was a point early in the second half in which Miami had more penalty yards than offensive yards. The poor first-half play led Fitzpatrick to return for the opening drive of the second half during which he connected with Nick O'Leary for a catch and run of 30 yards, found Mike Gesicki downfield for a gain of 29, and then dropped it off to Mark Walton for an eight-yard score. Excitement for that final drive will need to be tempered as it came against…read more

  • Still battling Rosen

    Coach Brian Flores clarified that Fitzpatrick starting the third preseason game does not mean he will start Week 1, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Dolphins have split first-team reps between Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, with the latter getting the start in Friday's preseason loss to Tampa Bay. Both quarterbacks have struggled through two exhibition games, seemingly leaving the competition up for grabs. Fitzpatrick is expected to get the start Thursday against Jacksonville, likely playing into the second or third quarter before he's replaced by Rosen.

  • Ho-hum in relief

    Fitzpatrick completed three of nine passes for 20 yards during Friday's 16-14 loss to Tampa Bay. He added a two-yard run during the contest.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick, though listed atop the depth chart, didn't get involved until after halftime as Miami let Josh Rosen lead the charge early. The results were rough, with the Dolphins punting on all three of Fitzpatrick's drives. It isn't as if Rosen set the world on fire, either, leading Miami to two field goals on six drives. Fitzpatrick has done enough in the offseason to earn his spot at the top of the depth chart, and while he didn't do anything to widen the gap Friday, Rosen did little to…read more

  • Set to work with starters in preseason opener

    Fitzpatrick is in line to play with Miami's first-team offense in Thursday night's preseason opener versus the Falcons, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: With Fitzpatrick slated to start the contest, Josh Rosen is in line to work with the second team Thursday. The assignment is indicative of the fact that Fitzpatrick remains atop the Dolphins' QB depth chart at this stage, but that status is not set in stone, with the competition between him and Rosen, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, ongoing.

  • Listed as starter

    Fitzpatrick is listed ahead of Josh Rosen on the Dolphins' first preseason depth chart, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Miami beat writers have reported Fitzpatrick as the favorite for the Week 1 job all offseason, so it's no surprise to see the 36-year-old veteran atop the team's initial depth chart. Rosen picked up momentum last week and progressed towards closing the gap, according to Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, but by all accounts would need to come out on fire in the preseason in order to usurp Fitzpatrick for the Week 1 gig. Regardless of which quarterback starts the season opener, it's…read more

  • Staying ahead of Rosen

    Coach Brian Flores puts Fitzpatrick ahead of Josh Rosen so far, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports. "From a quarterback standpoint, it's pretty clear to me that Ryan Fitzpatrick is leading the way," Flores said Tuesday.

    Analysis: The coach's analysis is consistent with reports from Miami beat writers dating back to the offseason program. Rosen still has time to build his case and will likely make starts at some point anyway, but Fitzpatrick is emerging as a clear favorite for the Week 1 gig.

    Fitzpatrick took the Dolphins' first QB snap of training camp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick also handled most of the reps with the starters throughout the offseason program, though Josh Rosen got his chances. The quarterback battle will continue in the coming weeks, and there's a good chance both players make starts during the upcoming season.

  • Working with starters

    Fitzpatrick continues to receive most of the first-team snaps at OTAs, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rebuilding Dolphins have every incentive to take a look at Josh Rosen this upcoming season, but that doesn't mean they'll hand him the Week 1 starting job. That said, Fitzpatrick's early advantage in non-contact spring practices doesn't carry a lot of weight. The real test will come in August during training-camp practices and preseason games.

  • Taking first-team reps

    Fitzpatrick took first-team reps at quarterback during OTAs on Tuesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: While the Dolphins acquired young quarterback Josh Rosen via trade during the draft, Fitzpatrick is going to get every chance to compete with the youngster. There's no word yet if Fitzpatrick is the favorite, or if Tuesday's gesture was made due to the fact that he's the more tenured competitor. Even if Fitzpatrick does end up winning the job for Week 1, he may not hold onto it for long, as Miami may want to see what it has with its young quarterback on a roster going through a rebuild.

  • Forced into competition with Rosen

    The Dolphins acquired Josh Rosen to compete with Fitzpatrick for the starting quarterback job, Dave Hyde of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick would have a huge advantage if 2018 performance were the primary deciding factor, but that's unlikely to be the case with Miami committed to a rebuild under new coach Brian Flores. Be it Week 1 or later in the season, Rosen is a lock to make starts at some point in 2019 for the undermanned Dolphins. It's a situation that should be conducive to passing volume more so than efficiency, as the roster doesn't have any clear strengths besides the defensive backfield.

  • Moving on to Miami

    The Dolphins signed Fitzpatrick on Sunday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After cutting ties with Ryan Tannehiil on Friday, Miami was in the market for a placeholder at quarterback, and Fitzpatrick fits the bill. Between 2017 and 2018 with the Buccaneers, Fitzpatrick ably filled in for a struggling or injured Jameis Winston, completing 63.6 percent of his passes for 3,469 yards, 24 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 14 games (10 starts). Fitzpatrick will be entering his age-37 season in the fall, and whether or not he'll be mentoring a young signal-caller will be…read more

  • Demonstrates value in '18

    Fitzpatrick completed 164 of 246 passes (66.7 percent) for 2,366 yards with 17 touchdowns and four interceptions across eight games during the 2018 season. He also rushed 36 times for 152 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and two more scores.

    Analysis: The 36-year-old had an interesting campaign, to say the least. Plugged in as the starter for the first three games of the season while Jameis Winston served a suspension, all Fitzpatrick did was set the NFL on its ear with three straight 400-yard performances and an 11:4 TD:INT. That trio of stellar outings afforded the veteran the right to a fourth straight start against the Bears in Week 4, despite Winston's active status, but Fitzpatrick lasted just one half in which he completed nine of his…read more

  • Inactive Week 16

    Fitzpatrick (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against the Cowboys, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The veteran will cede primary backup duties behind Jameis Winston to Ryan Griffin, who's yet to throw a regular-season pass in five-plus NFL campaigns. With the Buccaneers out of postseason contention, Fitzpatrick could well be relegated to the same status Week 17 as coach Dirk Koetter potentially looks to give Griffin his first taste of regular-season action in the finale versus the Falcons.

  • Loses starting job again

    Jameis Winston will replace Fitzpatrick as the starting quarterback for Week 12 against the 49ers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick was intercepted seven times the past three weeks, eventually getting benched in the second half of Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants. It won't come as any surprise if we see him again before the end of the season, as Winston has proven equally susceptible to turnovers.

  • Waiting for news on starting job

    Coach Dirk Koetter has made a decision on his starter for Week 12 against the 49ers, but he won't reveal it to the media until he talks with Fitzpatrick and Jameis Winston, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Winston replaced Fitzpatrick during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants, leading three consecutive touchdown drives to cut the deficit to three points. Koetter has gone back-and-forth throughout the season, as both quarterbacks have been prone to turnovers while also piling up yards with ease. It won't come as any surprise if Koetter turns back to the 24-year-old Winston after watching Fitzpatrick toss seven interceptions the past three weeks.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick lasted just six offensive plays into the second half, opening it with a interception that was returned for a touchdown before tossing another less than five minutes later. He finished the day 13 of 21 for 167 yards, no touchdowns and three picks, while racking up four rushes for 14 yards and one TD. Winston is expected to play out the rest of the contest, barring injury.

  • Getting another week as starter

    Fitzpatrick will keep the Bucs' starting quarterback job for Week 11 against the Giants, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Fitzpatrick threw for 406 yards at a clip of 9.9 per attempt in Sunday's 16-3 home loss to the Redskins, but his trio of turnovers combined with a poor kicking performance from Chandler Catanzaro led to an absurd disparity between the Bucs' totals for yards (501) and points (three). The team seems to have the same problem on offense regardless of which quarterback it uses, combining an unusual mix of chunk gains and turnovers. Fitzpatrick may lose the starting job back to Jameis Winston if he…read more

  • Turns it over three times in loss

    Fitzpatrick completed 29 of 41 passes for 406 yards and two interceptions during Sunday's 16-3 loss to Washington. He added 35 yards and a fumble on the ground on eight carries.

    Analysis: Tampa Bay ended Sunday with 501 total yards, nearly double Washington's tally, but they still ended up losing by two scores. How? Four turnovers, three by Fitzpatrick, is a good place to start. Fitzpatrick pushed the ball upfield on Sunday, the precise formula that has served him well this season, but it just didn't work out Sunday. He tried fitting a tight pass into the end zone to Shaun Wilson during the game's opening drive, only to have it picked off by a diving Josh Norman. After…read more

  • Throws four TDs, will retain starting gig

    In his postgame press conference following a 42-28 loss to the Panthers on Sunday, coach Dirk Koetter confirmed that Fitzpatrick will start the Week 10 game against the Redskins, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coming off a Week 9 performance in which he completed 24 of 40 passes for 243 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions while also rushing five times for 23 yards, Fitzpatrick apparently showed enough to earn another start next week. The veteran quarterback was partly responsible for getting the Bucs into an early hole with a first-quarter interception in his own territory that led to the Panthers' first score of the day, but he did help Tampa make it a game in the second half by…read more
