Jarrett Stidham News
Wednesday, March 4, 5:23 AM
NFL teams have reached out to the Denver Broncos about backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, whose lone start last year came in the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Stidham didn't look bad initially in place of the injured Bo Nix (ankle), giving the Broncos an early lead in the first quarter, but it all fell apart from there. A blizzard in the second half didn't help his cause at all. The 29-year-old finished the game 17-for-31 passing for 133 yards, one touchdown, and an interception, and he also lost a critical fumble. Head coach Sean Payton and the Broncos hold Stidham in high regard as QB insurance behind Nix, so they will most likely ask for a lot in return in any potential trade this offseason. Stidham is one of the better backup QBs in the league.

Tua Tagovailoa News
Tuesday, June 9, 8:38 AM
After spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is entering his first season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2026. Tagovailoa battled through a brutal season with the Dolphins in 2025, throwing for 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions across 14 games. The 28-year-old now finds himself in a battle with fellow Falcons signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. (knee) for the team's QB1 role. Penix Jr. is working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season, which could give Tagovailoa the leg up entering training camp. Tagovailoa has put together productive NFL seasons in the past, throwing for a league-leading 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns across 17 games in 2023. The Falcons will also put a solid offensive line in front of him and have a trio of talented pass-catchers in wide receiver Drake London, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., and running back Bijan Robinson. Tagovailoa's fantasy ceiling is capped, but a mid-career resurgence is not out of the question if he can win the starting job in Atlanta. Particularly in two-quarterback formats, dynasty managers may want to consider buying low on Tagovailoa.
