Jayden Daniels News
Friday, August 21, 6:25 AM
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn and the rest of his staff have yet to decide whether or not quarterback Jayden Daniels will play in the team's second preseason game. Ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Lions, Quinn met with the media and shared that "a good amount of starters" will get some playing time, but that he would look at each player on a case-by-case basis, according to senior team writer Zach Selby. Daniels is a player on whom a determination has yet to be made, as Quinn wants to know the health of the players around him first. Daniels is looking to bounce back from a disappointing, injury-marred second season, and by all accounts, he has looked sharp and decisive in new offensive coordinator David Blough's under-center system. The former second overall pick and 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year is RotoBaller's QB3.

Bo Nix News
Saturday, August 22, 5:25 AM
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and most of the team's starting offense worked only two series in Friday night's preseason loss to the Packers, but they made their efforts count, ending both drives with points. On the night, Nix was 6-of-9 for 76 yards with a touchdown, connecting with five different pass-catchers, including a 35-yard strike to his newest receiver, Jaylen Waddle. Nix has finished as the fantasy QB7 in each of his first two seasons, leading the league in pass attempts in 2025 while adding 356 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, and despite the team trading for a true number-one receiver in Waddle, he is currently being drafted as the QB15. As one of the most potentially mispriced quarterbacks to be found in the closing rounds of 2026 drafts, Nix offers a safe floor and legitimate week-winning upside, though the Broncos face one of the league's most daunting opening schedules with games against the Chiefs, Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, and Seahawks across the first six weeks.
