Joe Flacco News
Tuesday, March 24, 2:03 PM
Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agents told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Flacco will return to Cincy for a 19th NFL season after spending time with both the Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2025. The 41-year-old veteran began the year as the starter in Cleveland, but he was traded to the Bengals after four starts to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. Flacco became a streaming QB in fantasy formats after landing in Cincy, as he threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions in nine games (six starts) after the trade. Despite his age, Flacco has proved in recent seasons that he still has a little magic left in the tank as a backup signal-caller. Burrow continues to be hampered by injuries in his career, so if he misses more time in 2026, Flacco will be called to the rescue again and could once again be worth picking up off the waiver wire for QB-needy fantasy managers.

Jayden Daniels News
Wednesday, May 27, 12:50 PM
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is participating in OTAs, per Zach Selby of Commanders.com. Daniels battled through myriad injury issues in 2025, as elbow, hamstring, and knee ailments limited him to just seven games played. However, it appears as though the 25-year-old is healthy and fully ready to go entering 2026. Daniels lit up fantasy football with his dual-threat ability as a rookie in 2024, throwing for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns and rushing for 891 yards and six scores. If he can stay on the field, he projects as a high-end fantasy QB1 with number one overall quarterback upside. However, Daniels has a track record of shaky health that dates back to his time in college. Washington will also implement a new offensive system in 2026 under new play-caller David Blough and may prioritize keeping Daniels healthy by limiting his rushing attempts. All in all, Daniels projects as a high-risk, high-reward quarterback option for fantasy managers entering 2026.
