Raiders Release Brian Hoyer

Friday, March 8, 8:37 PM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders parted ways with quarterback Brian Hoyer. The journeyman signal-caller has bounced around the league over the year. He's appeared in 79 regular season games, tossing for 10,899 yards and 53 touchdowns (37 picks) off 59.3% passing. He hasn't done much in the last few seasons, and he finished the 2023-24 campaign by throwing for just 231 yards, along with two picks. At any rate, there could be a market for Hoyer, who has established himself as a quality backup during his career. But even if the 38-year-old finds a new team, that doesn't mean he'll draw attention from managers in fantasy drafts heading into the new season.

Justin Herbert Nightmare Season Could Get Worse in Week 4 vs. Seahawks

Saturday, October 3, 5:12 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has had a rough start to his 2026 campaign and will face his toughest defense yet on Sunday. In three games, Herbert has yet to throw for over 250 passing yards or multiple touchdown passes in a single game. Herbert and the Chargers will head to Seattle to face the reigning Super Bowl champions, who have the league's most feared defense. The Seahawks' defense has allowed the fewest passing yards while forcing the most interceptions (4) this season. As a result, Herbert enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's QB26 and shouldn't be in fantasy lineups. Herbert has yet to surpass 15 fantasy points in a game this year and has thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes. The 28-year-old is a risky superflex play at best, and better quarterback streaming options are available on the waiver wire in Week 4.
