Garrett Nussmeier has Late-Round Dynasty Value

Thursday, June 18, 6:00 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has decent long-term upside as a potential handcuff option for Patrick Mahomes' fantasy managers. Mahomes is currently recovering from a torn ACL, so Justin Fields is expected to start Week 1. Nussmeier might be able to jump Fields on the depth chart, but more than likely, he'll be the primary backup until Mahomes returns. The LSU product was projected to be a mid-round pick, but fell to the Chiefs in the seventh round. Nussmeier didn't look great during his senior year, but threw for over 4,000 yards in 2024. Mahomes will eventually take his starting gig back, but who knows what kind of toll that torn ACL will take on his body long-term. Nussmeier isn't a bad stash option, given he could be one injury away from the starting job.

Ravens Noncommital on Diego Pavia's Future with Team

Sunday, May 3, 5:30 AM

Former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia recently signed a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens after going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with the team wrapping up rookie minicamp, new head coach Jesse Minter offered very little on the Heisman Trophy runner-up. Minter told reporters on Saturday, "He's in the door and it's like, 'Show us what you can do,'" adding, "And just like all the undrafted rookies, that's what I would say." With Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley firmly entrenched atop the depth chart. Pavia is competing with fellow undrafted free agent Joe Fagnano out of Connecticut for a third quarterback spot. At RotoBaller's dynasty QB51, Pavia is unlikely to ever become a meaningful fantasy contributor, but in such a shallow draft class, his playmaking upside makes him at least worth a dart throw in the final round of dynasty rookie drafts.
