Jordan Love News
Friday, August 21, 9:32 PM
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love handled the first drive of the Packers' 33-13 victory over the Denver Broncos in the second preseason game for both clubs. Love was a solid 5-of-7 passing for 56 yards, engineering a 12-play drive that ended with a touchdown strike over the middle to running back MarShawn Lloyd for 11 yards. Love also completed two passes to Christian Watson, a 19-yard completion to Matthew Golden on a fourth down in Broncos' territory, a short seven-yard completion to Drake Dabney, and theb, the score to Lloyd for Love's final throw of the night. Overall, Love had a sharp drive and looks ready for the 2026 NFL season. With the Packers condensing their pass-catching corps this offseason by letting Romeo Doubs test free agency and trading Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia, the hope is that this clearout brings more work for players like Watson, Golden, Tucker Kraft, and Jayden Reed. Love is a high-end QB2 for fantasy this season, as the Packers will no doubt be efficient, but are at the mercy of head coach Matt LaFleur's playcalling when it comes to pass volume.

Drake Maye News
Thursday, August 27, 5:13 AM
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was the MVP runner-up and fantasy QB2 in his second season, his first with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and since then his weaponry has only grown stronger. The Patriots' top two receivers in 2025 were Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. The former spent most of the summer as a free agent before finally signing a one-year, $8 million deal with the Commanders, while the latter was traded to the Texans on Monday for what amounted to a 2025 sixth-rounder and a 2028 seventh-round pick. Meanwhile, the Patriots spent a first and a fifth to acquire A.J. Brown after signing Romeo Doubs to a four-year, $68 million contract. New England also ran the league's lowest percentage of plays while trailing in 2025, so a more difficult schedule could lead to even more pass attempts for Maye and a higher fantasy ceiling. The soon-to-be-24-year-old is RotoBaller's QB6, but he has the skill set and the environment to threaten for an overall QB1 finish.
