Brandon Allen News
Tuesday, April 14, 10:24 AM
The New York Giants announced on Monday that they signed free-agent quarterback Brandon Allen to an undisclosed deal. Allen will head into his seventh NFL season as the QB3 in the Big Apple behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston. The 33-year-old was a former sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Arkansas. Allen made his NFL debut in 2019 with the Denver Broncos and then spent three years with the Cincinnati Bengals before playing for the San Francisco 49ers in 2024 and the Tennessee Titans in 2025. In his six years in the NFL, Allen has completed 56.7% of his 323 pass attempts for 1,882 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in 19 games played (10 starts). He only appeared in one game for the Titans last year and went 17-for-30 passing for 72 yards, no touchdowns, and a pick. Allen is off the fantasy football radar everywhere.

Mac Jones News
Thursday, July 23, 5:25 AM
Given an extended opportunity in 2025, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones proved himself one of the more capable backups in the league, winning five of his eight starts while providing fantasy managers with a usable streaming option. Following an extensive recovery from the turf toe injury that caused him to miss significant time, starter Brock Purdy is reportedly at full health entering training camp, but should he miss time again in 2026, Jones has proven worthy of making a priority waiver add in single-quarterback leagues, and he is a must-roster player in superflex dynasty formats. The former first-round pick is on the final year of his two-year deal, and he should not be fully overlooked for a starting role in 2027. Until then, he remains one of the more valuable insurance quarterbacks in the league.
