Jaguars | Matt Barkley finds new home with Jacksonville Tue Dec 26, 03:52 PM
New York Giants QB Matt Barkley was signed off the practice squad by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Tuesday, Dec. 26.
Footballguys view: Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a sprained shoulder after undergoing an MRI on the injury. The team can turn to CJ Beathard as their starter if/when Lawrence misses time. Barkley is there to run the scout team and serve as a veteran backup. |

Giants | Tommy DeVito to start Wed Nov 8, 12:46 PM
New York Giants QB Tommy DeVito was named the starter for Week 10. QB Matt Barkley, who was signed to the active roster Wednesday, Nov. 8, will be the backup.
Footballguys view: DeVito gets in with Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor out of action. He's a limited quarterback, so downgrade all Giants skill position players. We should see as much of RB Saquon Barkley as possible, but defenses know that and will plan to stop him as their primary weapon. |

Bills | Kyle Allen the frontrunner for backup duties? Thu Aug 10, 12:00 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Kyle Allen received all the reps behind QB Josh Allen during practice Wednesday, Aug. 9. In previous sessions, Allen and QB Matt Barkley have split reps as the backup.
Footballguys view: This is a battle worth watching if you're a Bills fan. If Josh Allen was banged up, the team would have to make it work with one of these backups. That's not great for their chances, so keeping Josh Allen healthy is their best bet to push for a Super Bowl. |

Bills | Buffalo signs 13 to Reserve/Future contracts Mon Jan 23, 05:48 PM
Free-agent OG Alec Anderson, DT Eli Ankou, QB Matt Barkley, DT Cortez Broughton, DT Brandin Bryant, TE Zach Davidson, CB Ja'Marcus Ingram, WR KeeSean Johnson, DE Kingsley Jonathan, C Greg Mancz, CB Kyler McMichael, WR Dezmon Patmon and OT Ryan Van Demark signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Buffalo Bills Monday, Jan. 23. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: We'll still stubbornly keep track of KeeSean Johnson, but only in super deep dynasty formats. Johnson was a sixth-round pick out of Fresno State for the Cardinals in the 2019 NFL draft, and we like his athleticism and size combination. We'll see if he can continue to develop with the Bills, but he's running out of time to prove himself in this league. |

Footballguys view: Johnson is a player who could be fantasy relevant if he gets to the active roster and gets a role on this offense. The seasoned veteran proved last year he could produce when called upon. Fantasy GMs can keep Johnson on the waiver wire speed dial just in case injuries strike at the position. |

Bills | Matt Barkley signs with Bills Mon Mar 21, 12:02 PM
Free-agent QB Matt Barkley (Falcons) signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills Monday, March 21. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Footballguys view: Barkley is back with the Bills, but this time he will compete with Case Keenum to be the primary backup to Josh Allen. He's got experience backing up Allen from his previous time with the Bills, but Keenum has more experience as a starter and could win the job. We don't think the Bills carry three quarterbacks, so Keenum vs Barkley is likely a "win or go home" situation. |

Bills | Buffalo finishes strong in Week 17 Sun Jan 3, 05:15 PM
QB Josh Allen completed 18-of-25 passes for 224 yards, three touchdowns and an interception before giving way to QB Matt Barkley in the second half. The latter had 164 pass yards and a touchdown. RB Antonio Williams led the way with 63 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while RBs Zack Moss and Devin Singletary had three runs and less than 10 yards apiece, mostly resting. WR Gabriel Davis ended up with two snags of 50-plus yards, ending up with 107 yards and a touchdown on his two catches. WR Stefon Diggs finished with seven receptions for 76 yards on eight targets, WR John Brown posted four catches for 72 yards and a score, while WR Isaiah McKenzie posted six receptions, 65 yards and two scores on a team-high nine targets. TE Dawson Knox also chipped in with two grabs for 29 yards on eight targets.
Footballguys view: Most expected the Bills to open play Allen long enough to set the team record for passing yards in a season, but he played the whole first half, which was too much for Miami to overcome. Diggs will lead the NFL in receptions and yards with the help of this effort and Brown looked good in his return from injury with Cole Beasley uncertain for next week's game against Indianapolis. |

Bills | Coach confident in Matt Barkley Sun Jun 21, 01:05 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Matt Barkley is expected to be the No. 2 quarterback this season, and head coach Sean McDermott said he has confidence in Barkley.
Footballguys view: That should end any talk of fifth-round round Jake Fromm potentially costing Barkley a roster spot. Barkley can keep the pass offense semi-functional if he is called on, which is possible since Josh Allen shows no regard for his health when he is outside of the pocket. |

Bills | Week 17 final stats for Bills Sun Dec 29, 04:44 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen made a cameo in Week 17 against the New York Jets, completing 3-of-5 passes for five yards before turning it over to QB Matt Barkley, who was 18-of-35 for 232 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. RB Frank Gore ran six times for 26 yards while adding three grabs for 16 yards. RB T.J. Yeldon checked in with seven runs for 18 yards and three catches for 24 yards as RB Devin Singletary rested. WR Duke Williams led the way with six receptions while adding game bests with 108 yards and 12 targets.
Footballguys view: The Bills are back in the playoffs and it feels like just being there isn't good enough. Williams has had some moments in his "rookie" season and should stick with the team next year. Yeldon has been a non-factor and didn't do anything to change that today. |

Bills | Matt Barkley with leg up in backup competition? Wed Jun 26, 10:47 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Matt Barkley is believed to be the frontrunner over QB Tyree Jackson for the primary backup job behind QB Josh Allen, according to beat writer Jay Skurski.
Footballguys view: Jackson has a skillset and top-end size/athleticism combination similar to Allen's even though he was an undrafted free agent. Some think he could have greatly improved his draft stock if he had gone back to school. He should be slowly developed as a #3, but projects as an ideal backup to Allen. |
