Joe Milton III News
Saturday, August 23, 8:12 AM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III had an impressive showing in his team's final preseason game on Friday, a 31-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Milton III completed 10 of 18 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown. He also had 33 rushing yards and a touchdown on four rush attempts. Milton III looks to be solidified as the backup quarterback in Dallas behind Dak Prescott. The 25-year-old has plenty of arm talent and offers some ability to make plays with his legs as well. If Prescott were to get injured, Milton III would become a priority waiver-wire target in fantasy.

Bo Nix News
Monday, March 30, 11:30 AM
Denver Broncos Owner and CEO Greg Penner said that quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) is "ahead of schedule" and "doing very well" in his recovery from ankle surgery, per Zac Stevens of DNVR. Nix suffered a fractured ankle in Denver's AFC Divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills that ended his 2025 postseason run prematurely. However, it sounds as though the 26-year-old is on track to be a full participant with the team throughout the summer. Across 17 games in 2025, Nix completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His ability to impact games with his legs is a big part of his fantasy appeal, as he's rushed for 786 yards and nine touchdowns on 175 attempts through his first two NFL seasons. Nix also got some additional pass-catching help this offseason when Denver traded for former Miami Dolphins wideout Jaylen Waddle. As long as he continues to progress well with his recovery, Nix profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 heading into 2026.
