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.

Trevor Lawrence a Clear QB1 Against Browns

Saturday, September 12, 7:06 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence enters his Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns as a high-upside fantasy option. The Browns defense was good last year, but no longer has superstar lineman Myles Garrett, so the unit should be more vulnerable this season. That means Lawrence has a great opportunity to start strong in year two in Liam Coen's offense. The former top pick has plenty of weapons at his disposal, including the emerging Parker Washington, and is coming off a fantastic finish last year. Lawrence was the overall QB1 in fantasy during the team's eight-game winning streak on the back of both his arm and his legs. If he can hit the ground running early in the game, Lawrence can pick up right where he left off from a fantasy perspective and dominate the Browns in Week 1. He should be viewed as a must-start in all formats.
