Brock Purdy News
Wednesday, April 1, 9:11 AM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy got a new weapon at his disposal this offseason after the team signed veteran wide receiver Mike Evans. While Evans saw his 12-year streak of 1,000-yard seasons come to an end in 2025, he's still a superstar pass-catcher and a clear upgrade over last year's de facto No. 1 receiver, Jauan Jennings. Purdy will now get to throw to a stacked group of players, including Evans, Ricky Pearsall, George Kittle (Achilles), and even Christian McCaffrey. The former seventh-round quarterback ultimately appeared in nine games last year, ranking as the QB24 with 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Extrapolated over a full 17-game season, he would have set a new career-high in touchdowns (38), but also interceptions (19). The 26-year-old will look to clean up the turnovers while remaining an effective passer, especially around the goal line. He has top-10 fantasy upside for 2026 and is still a decent offseason target in dynasty leagues.

Bo Nix News
Monday, March 30, 11:30 AM
Denver Broncos Owner and CEO Greg Penner said that quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) is "ahead of schedule" and "doing very well" in his recovery from ankle surgery, per Zac Stevens of DNVR. Nix suffered a fractured ankle in Denver's AFC Divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills that ended his 2025 postseason run prematurely. However, it sounds as though the 26-year-old is on track to be a full participant with the team throughout the summer. Across 17 games in 2025, Nix completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His ability to impact games with his legs is a big part of his fantasy appeal, as he's rushed for 786 yards and nine touchdowns on 175 attempts through his first two NFL seasons. Nix also got some additional pass-catching help this offseason when Denver traded for former Miami Dolphins wideout Jaylen Waddle. As long as he continues to progress well with his recovery, Nix profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 heading into 2026.
