Josh Allen News
Thursday, August 6, 11:44 AM
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen spent the start of the offseason in a walking boot after having a procedure on the broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot. By April, Buffalo expected him to be full go, and Allen was back for the offseason program before training camp. There has been no reported setback. The injury matters because so much of his fantasy value comes from his legs. Allen ran for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, making up for a passing line that fell to 3,668 yards and 25 scores. He still finished as fantasy's QB1. Buffalo also upgraded the receiver room with DJ Moore, who joins Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, Keon Coleman, and James Cook. Joe Brady's promotion to head coach should keep the offense familiar, with Pete Carmichael taking over as coordinator. RotoBaller ranks Allen QB1 in redraft and dynasty. There is always some risk in paying an early-round price for a quarterback, especially one who absorbs as much contact as Allen. His foot recovery has not given managers a reason to move him off the top line. He remains the first quarterback worth drafting.

Drake Maye News
Friday, July 31, 1:36 PM
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and his new No. 1 wide receiver, A.J. Brown, got off to a quiet start in the early days of training camp, but "there have been some serious signs of life since the pads came on Thursday," according to Paul Perillo of Patriots.com. Brown was a problem for the Patriots' secondary on Friday, catching slants, gos, and everything in between. "I feel the connectivity building now," Maye said. "That's the biggest thing. You are just seeing it get better every day. I'm blessed to play with a player like him, and I'm looking forward to getting him the rock." The two have been seen spending time talking between plays as they "continue to forge a bond." The 23-year-old former third overall pick in 2024 from North Carolina broke out in 2025 thanks to a historically soft regular-season schedule, but he came back down to Earth in the postseason, even though the Pats made a run to the Super Bowl. With the additions of Brown and Romeo Doubs in the passing game, Maye has even more weapons. Between his downfield exploits and his mobility, he enters the 2026 campaign as a top-five fantasy QB.
