Josh Allen News
Sunday, March 29, 7:08 AM
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) required surgery to fix a broken bone in his right foot following his eighth season in the NFL, but new head coach Joe Brady told NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero that Allen is "good to go." Allen should be fine for all of Buffalo's offseason workouts as the Bills look to finally get over the postseason hump and to the Super Bowl in 2026. The 29-year-old has come short of the 4,000-yard passing mark in each of the last two seasons, but he should have more help in the passing game with the offseason acquisition of receiver DJ Moore. The four-time Pro Bowler and former MVP was still the QB1 overall in fantasy scoring in 2025, thanks to his elite rushing abilities. In 17 regular-season starts, Allen threw for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while adding a league-high 579 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground on 112 carries. Allen's rushing prowess will make him the top QB off the board in fantasy football drafts again this year.

J.J. McCarthy News
Friday, March 13, 5:26 AM
After what was essentially a redshirt rookie season, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy struggled through his first year in a starting role in 2025, dealing with injuries and inefficiencies that kept him out of seven games. With the Vikings officially agreeing to a one-year deal with Kyler Murray on Thursday, McCarthy now faces legitimate competition for the starting job. Both first-round picks in their respective draft classes, with Murray going first overall in 2019, an upside case can be made for either player, though consistency has proven to be more of an issue for both. Head coach Kevin O'Connell has long been praised for elevating his quarterbacks, and with a solid supporting cast and playoff aspirations, he now has nearly six months to pull a starter out of the highly flawed but arguably most talented room he's ever coached.
