Jordan Love News
Tuesday, July 14, 10:38 AM
Across 15 games in 2025, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The 27-year-old has established himself as an efficient and effective NFL quarterback, leading Green Bay to the playoffs in all three of his seasons as a starter. However, Love's lack of rushing upside combined with the Packers' run-heavy offensive approach has limited his fantasy viability. Love finished as the QB18 in per-game fantasy scoring in 2024 and the QB21 by the same metric in 2025. Still, Love may finally be fully healthy in 2026 after battling knee, thumb, and concussion issues over the past two seasons. He should also get more out of key pass-catchers in tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) and Jayden Reed, who combined to miss 19 games last season. Love may not offer high-end QB1 upside, but he may be worth buying low on in dynasty formats ahead of what could be a resurgent 2026.

Brock Purdy News
Thursday, July 16, 12:18 PM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy played only nine games last season, but the production held up when he was on the field. He threw for 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while adding 147 rushing yards and three more scores. That is 23 total touchdowns in nine starts. Purdy will never offer the rushing ceiling of the elite fantasy quarterbacks, though he has already shown he can deliver strong numbers within Kyle Shanahan's offense. He is 26, signed through 2030, and has thrown 84 touchdown passes in 49 career games. San Francisco also gave him a new group of weapons. Mike Evans and Christian Kirk were added, Ricky Pearsall returns, and the 49ers selected De'Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick. George Kittle's recovery from a torn Achilles remains the biggest concern around the offense. RotoBaller ranks Purdy as the dynasty QB14, placing him near the front of the QB2 tier. Rebuilders do not need to force a deal, but contenders looking for a stable Superflex starter should be asking what it takes to acquire him.
