News: 13 hours agoBeck (back) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Broncos on Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Spin: Beck was unable to practice Thursday and Friday due to back spasms. He's inactive for Sunday's contest, but as the emergency third quarterback, he would be allowed to play in the event that both Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew left the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Beck was selected by the Cardinals in the third round of April's draft. Beck is a big, experienced quarterback who started for two seasons at Georgia prior to leading Miami to the national championship game last season. Beck paced this rookie QB class in completion percentage last season (72.4%) and for his career (69.5%), while also leading this group with an 80.9 QBR and 8.4 YPA during his 55-game collegiate career. He's unlikely to offer much with his legs in the pros, however, and will begin his career behind Jacoby Brissett and likely Gardner Minshew. Beck has no short-term fantasy value, though he could very well make some starts during his rookie season. Monitor him in superflex.
