Joe Burrow News
Thursday, April 2, 4:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has missed time in all but one of his professional seasons and started at least 11 games only three times in his six-year career. When active and healthy, the 29-year-old former first overall pick is unquestionably one of the best quarterbacks in the league, leading the NFL in touchdown passes in 2024 after finishing second in 2022. In a fantasy landscape geared ever more toward rushing quarterbacks, he is one of the few pocket passers in the league who can reliably threaten a QB1 finish on the strength of passing yards and touchdowns. With the Bengals offense largely intact, healthy, and with nary a contract dispute on the horizon, Burrow's continuity with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown could have him in line for the first such finish of his career.

Caleb Williams News
Tuesday, April 7, 5:39 AM
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams finished his second professional season as the QB5 despite failing to reach 4,000 passing yards or even a 60% completion rate. Heading into year two under the tutelage of head coach Ben Johnson, if Williams can clean up some of the details that have plagued his young career, he has the natural ability and tools to become a fantasy league winner. Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and tight end Colston Loveland represent one of the best young groups of pass catchers in the league, and for all of Williams' highlight-worthy improvisation, he's done a remarkable job of keeping the ball out of harm's way, accounting for 50 career touchdowns to only 13 interceptions and 19 total turnovers. While the sample size is small and imprecise, Jared Goff finished as QB10 in his second season with the Lions (his first with Johnson at offensive coordinator) before reeling off consecutive top-7 finishes. Williams is currently RotoBaller's QB5 in dynasty rankings, so any meaningful leap could land him among the fantasy elite.
