Dak Prescott News
Wednesday, August 26, 5:36 AM
At 33 years old, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is entering his 11th season, and according to team staff writer Nick Eatman, he still has the speed to make off-platform plays as needed. In the team's first local training camp practice on Tuesday night, Prescott showed off the quickness and pocket presence that have defined much of his career, twice scrambling for touchdowns while working in the red zone. While Prescott has relied less on his legs after a handful of serious injuries, last topping 250 rushing yards in 2019, his escapability and ability to keep drives alive have contributed to keeping the Cowboys' offense among the league's most potent throughout his career while making him one of the most underrated fantasy performers in recent years. When playing at least 16 games in a season, Prescott has not finished outside the top eight of the position since 2018, making him one of the safest late-round quarterbacks to target in 2026 drafts.

Kyler Murray News
Monday, August 31, 12:48 PM
Entering 2026, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is looking to revitalize his career. A foot injury limited the 29-year-old to just five games in 2025, his final season with the Arizona Cardinals after they selected him first overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. Murray's performance also suffered even before the injury, as he was averaging a career-low 6.0 yards per pass attempt. However, Murray has been named the starting quarterback in Minnesota, and he appears to be in an ideal spot for a resurgent season. Vikings head coach and play-caller Kevin O'Connell has helped maximize the play of multiple different veteran quarterbacks, and Minnesota has one of the top wide receiving corps in the NFL between Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings. Murray has been a dangerous dual-threat quarterback as recently as the 2024 season, when he recorded 3,851 passing yards, 572 rushing yards, and 26 total touchdowns across 17 games. At his current redraft ADP of QB16, Murray carries sleeper appeal into 2026.
