Geno Smith News
Tuesday, June 23, 9:18 AM
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is being investigated for an incident in which a woman accused him of battery, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Police officers were summoned to Smith's home in Florida on Sunday after a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend called 911 and said she was assaulted by him. Nobody was arrested or taken into custody at the scene, with the Davie Police Department saying on Monday that it's "not an active case" and is still being reviewed. "We were informed [Monday] evening that, during review, it was determined that this case is being further investigated by detectives. It is active, and we cannot release any additional information at this time," a police spokesperson said in an update on Tuesday. After a rough season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025, in which he led the league with 17 interceptions, the Jets acquired him in a trade this offseason, and he's expected to open the 2026 season as their starter, barring a suspension from the league. Even if Smith isn't disciplined by the NFL for this off-the-field incident, he'll be an unattractive low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in 2026.

Tyler Shough News
Thursday, June 25, 5:49 AM
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough finished second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting while playing only half a season in 2025. Taking over a 1-7 team, Shough won five of his nine starts and had the Saints looking like arguably the most dangerous team in the division by year's end. Heading into his first full season as a starter, New Orleans' offense has regularly been tabbed as a unit on the rise, making Shough a legitimate QB2 option in superflex dynasty leagues. Kellen Moore's offenses have always been at their best with two capable receivers, which they appear to have in 2025 second-team All-Pro Chris Olave and 2026 first-round pick Jordyn Tyson. The Saints also spent big on free agent running back Travis Etienne Jr., giving the 26-year-old Shough a plethora of weapons and a clear path to upside after averaging more than 19 fantasy points per game across his final six starts of 2025. Adding deceptive value with his legs, Shough pairs an increasingly reliable floor with a rising ceiling, and at RotoBaller's QB21, he is a player that drafters should feel comfortable making their second quarterback in dynasty startups.
