# Jason La Canfora: La Canfora writes that Joe Fagnano, after making Baltimore's 53-man roster, now slots in as the Ravens' third quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Snoop Huntley, and could eventually supplant Huntley as the direct backup. **Claimed:** Aug 30, 2026 **Pundit:** Jason La Canfora — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jason-la-canfora **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/onsi/undrafted-qb-joe-fagnano-defies-all-odds-and-makes-ravens-53-man-roster-01m19xg8ajdw One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > He is the ideal third quarterback now, and keeping him in their QB room and developing him on the scout team is imperative. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Joe Fagnano to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Joe Fagnano, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Joe Fagnano — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/joe-fagnano - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens ## What others said about the same people - Dalton Feely on Stefon Diggs: Feenie predicted Chris Godwin stays in Tampa Bay, Josh Sweat reunites with Jonathan Gannon in Arizona, Ronnie Stanley signs with New England, Jevon Holland lands in Indianapolis, Khalil Mack joins Washington, Asante Samuel Jr. goes to San Francisco, Najee Harris to the Raiders and Bobby Wagner to Dallas. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/5456472e-edf1-49c5-9f6b-bd59183fcea7 (scored 0) - Gregg Rosenthal on Ronnie Stanley: Rosenthal made a series of offseason personnel predictions at the combine: he believes Kirk Cousins will be traded away from Atlanta, that Justin Tucker will never play for the Ravens or in the NFL again, that Joey Bosa should/will be released by the Chargers, that Ronnie Stanley will re-sign with Baltimore rather than reach free agency, and that Chris Godwin will re-sign with Tampa Bay.
