Brock Purdy News
Wednesday, April 22, 7:11 AM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy had the first half of his 2025 season disrupted by toe and shoulder injuries that forced him to miss eight games. Still, the 26-year-old was effective down the stretch of the season, finishing the year with 2,167 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Purdy also added three touchdowns as a rusher. Heading into 2026, Purdy could be without star tight end George Kittle (Achilles) to start the year. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings also currently remains unsigned and is not a lock to be back with the 49ers. However, San Francisco made a big splash in free agency by signing veteran wide receiver Mike Evans, giving Purdy a true number one option on the outside and in the red zone. Given the unsettled nature of the offense around him in San Francisco, there might be a window for dynasty managers to buy low on Purdy.

Jaxson Dart News
Sunday, April 26, 5:49 AM
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart brought a spark to the team as soon as he took over as the starter in Week 4, and while his fantasy-friendly play style as a rookie bordered on reckless at times, the team has taken strides to protect and build around their young signal caller. The Giants spent the 10th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, who could make an immediate impact at guard or eventually develop into one of the best tackles from this class. They traded into the top of the third round to add Notre Dame's outside field-stretcher Malachi Fields, who will give Dart another downfield weapon after the free agent acquisition of Darnell Mooney. No move, though, will have a larger impact on Dart's year two growth than the return to health of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers. Nabers tore his ACL in Dart's first career start, so the two never had a chance to develop chemistry, but his 109 receptions as a rookie were a Giants single-season record. Dart is RotoBaller's dynasty QB10, but if he can learn to protect himself and make it through a full season, there's no reason he can't threaten for a top-five ranking as early as 2026.
