Joe Burrow News
Monday, February 9, 10:00 AM
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said over the weekend that the Cincinnati Bengals won't entertain trade offers for quarterback Joe Burrow this offseason and will instead look to spend and build around him. Rapoport expects teams to call the Bengals after Burrow expressed some discontent with the organization during the 2025 season, but the franchise signal-caller is not expected to go anywhere. More than anything, the Bengals will probably spend on the defensive side of the ball to help supplement what is already a strong offensive unit. The 29-year-old Burrow only made eight starts in 2025 due to a turf toe injury that required surgery, and he threw for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Staying healthy has been an issue for the former No. 1 overall pick, but with one of the best receiving duos in the NFL, Burrow should be primed for a bounce-back campaign in 2026 as a QB1 in fantasy if he can stay on the field.

Tua Tagovailoa News
Monday, March 9, 7:58 AM
The Atlanta Falcons are expected to make a "strong push" for former Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in a deal that could come together as soon as Monday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. There is mutual interest with the Falcons potentially needing a veteran QB with starting experience since Michael Penix Jr. (knee) might not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season this fall. The Dolphins owe Tagovailoa $54 million guaranteed despite releasing him, so the Falcons can sign him for the veteran minimum in 2026. At the very least, Tagovailoa would be competing with Penix for the starting job in Atlanta this summer. The former fifth overall pick out of Alabama in 2020 led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards and a career-best 29 touchdowns in 2023, but he has dealt with multiple concussions and has regressed over the last two years, leading to his release. Tua would have some interesting weapons on offense if he starts for the Falcons, but in fantasy football, he'd still only be a low-end QB2 looking to bounce back with a change of scenery.
