Carson Wentz News
Thursday, March 19, 6:29 AM
The Minnesota Vikings are adding quarterback depth on Thursday by re-signing veteran Carson Wentz to an undisclosed one-year deal, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Despite dealing with a significant shoulder injury last year, Wentz started five games for Minnesota in 2025 and kept the team alive. He will now return to the Vikes in a QB room that now includes former Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy, and Max Brosmer. The 33-year-old completed 65.1% of his pass attempts in his five starts last year, throwing for 1,216 yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions while filling in for the injured McCarthy. It was an uphill battle for Wentz despite plenty of receiving options, and he will head into his 11th year in the NFL as the QB3 for the Vikings. Wentz underwent season-ending surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder in late October, but he's expected to be a full participant in the team's offseason program.

Baker Mayfield News
Tuesday, April 14, 5:25 AM
After finishing his 2024 season as the QB4, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield picked things right back up in 2025, playing some of the best ball of his career and garnering early MVP buzz. Through 10 games, the Buccaneers sat at 6-3 with Mayfield averaging more than 240 passing yards per game to go with his 8:1 touchdown to interception ratio. At 30 years old, Mayfield was priced as high as the dynasty QB10. The rest of the way, Tampa went 2-6, with Mayfield throwing for fewer than 188 yards per game, with only 10 touchdowns to his nine interceptions. His receiving core suffered injury after injury, and for whatever reason, he was unable to recapture the early-season magic he had with rookie Emeka Egbuka. Mike Evans has now moved on, leaving Egbuka, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan atop the depth chart, along with two capable pass-catching backs in Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell. Mayfield enters 2026 as RotoBaller's dynasty QB19, and at 31, there's likely little he can do to reclaim QB1 status, even if he is still capable of producing multiple top-12 finishes. A newfound rushing element over his past two seasons helps provide a healthy floor, but at this point, Mayfield profiles as a high-upside QB2 in superflex leagues.
