Blaine Gabbert News
Monday, January 8, 1:51 AM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Blaine Gabbert wasn't asked to do much in Sunday's 13-12 road win over the Los Angeles Chargers, completing 15-of-30 passes for 154 yards and an interception with five carries for 46 yards. With the Chiefs resting most of their top skill positions in a game with no playoff implications, Gabbert understandably had a difficult time moving the ball and sustaining drives. The 34-year-old veteran looked spry, though, on 25- and 14-yard scampers to set up a go-ahead field-goal drive during the fourth quarter. Gabbert served his purpose in Week 18 to bridge the gap between this meaningless contest and K.C.'s postseason endeavors, and he will head back to the sidelines as Patrick Mahomes' backup when the team hosts the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night for Wild Card action.

Sam Darnold News
Monday, April 27, 5:37 AM
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold won the Super Bowl in his first year with Seattle after rehabilitating his career in one season with the Minnesota Vikings. Darnold finished as the QB14 in 2025 after a top-10 finish in 2024. In both Seattle and Minnesota, he was able to support All-Pro wide receivers, most recently helping Jaxon Smith-Njigba to win the league's Offensive Player of the Year Award. Having topped 25 passing touchdowns only once and never adding more than 217 yards on the ground, though, his own fantasy ceiling may be limited. At RotoBaller's dynasty QB21, Darnold feels accurately priced, and the nine-year veteran should be able to continue delivering reliable QB2 floors. His current deal with Seattle runs through the 2027 season, and he will be almost 31 years old when he gets to that point, so he may not see much of the traditional dynasty bump that comes with a new contract, but barring the unforeseen, he should remain a safe hold for as long as he's tied to Smith-Njigba.
