Daniel Jones News
Thursday, September 10, 6:44 AM
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is making his way back from a torn Achilles he suffered about nine months ago in Jacksonville. Jones hasn't played in an preseason games but turned heads within the Colts organization for a positive return from the devastating injury. Jones passed for 3,101 yards and 19 touchdowns last season and has added to he receiver room with Keenan Allen coming in and having Alec Pierce and Josh Downs on the outside with Tyler Warren at tight end. It's a good group of receiving talent, which sets up Jones nicely for a good season, but the main thing is that he appears to have put the injury behind him. He's always brought scrambling to the table a little bit and should continue to do that after rushing for 164 yards in 2025.

Justin Herbert News
Friday, September 4, 12:19 PM
Across 16 games in 2025, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 66.4% of his pass attempts for 3,727 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. The 28-year-old also rushed for a career-high 498 yards and two touchdowns on 83 attempts, which helped him finish the year as the fantasy QB10 in both overall and per-game scoring. Entering 2026, there's reason to believe Herbert could be well-positioned to top 4,000 passing yards for the first time since 2022. The Chargers have a new offensive coordinator in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who should help open up the offense with more explosive plays down the field. Herbert also has a much healthier offensive line in front of him and an extremely talented group of offensive weapons to throw the ball to. As long as he stays healthy, Herbert has a chance to put together his most productive statistical season since 2021, when he threw for 5,014 yards and 35 touchdowns.
