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.

Cameron Ward News
Tuesday, March 31, 8:24 AM
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that the mechanical tweaks for quarterback Cameron Ward will be focused on his footwork, as opposed to his throwing motion, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll also acknowledged that he doesn't want to mess with Ward's throwing mechanics too much, as different QBs have different throwing motions. Unsurprisingly, Ward, the first overall pick last year out of the University of Miami, struggled in his first year in the NFL with the Titans. The 23-year-old completed under 60% of his 540 pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 17 starts. He added 39 rushing attempts for 159 yards and two more scores. Although he did injure his right shoulder in the series finale, Ward should be just fine for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign. Ward could be an intriguing QB2 with upside in his sophomore season if his mechanics lead to better accuracy on the field with a new receiving weapon in wideout Wan'Dale Robinson.
