Josh Allen News
Thursday, July 2, 9:59 AM
In what was considered a down year by his own lofty standards, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen still finished as the fantasy QB1. His 3,668 yards through the air and 25 passing touchdowns both marked his lowest totals since 2019, but his unmatched rushing upside allowed him to top the final rankings as he has now done in four of the past six seasons, never slipping below QB2 in that time. Allen leads all quarterbacks with 41 rushing touchdowns over the past three seasons, with Jalen Hurts the only other quarterback to top 20 scores over that stretch. With former offensive coordinator Joe Brady taking over as head coach in 2026, the Bills offense can expect a sense of continuity behind an offensive line that returns four of five starters from a year ago, and with the team sending a second-round pick to acquire veteran receiver DJ Moore, Allen now has arguably his most dangerous weapon since he was regularly topping 4,200 passing yards with Stefon Diggs as his primary receiver. Unsurprisingly, Allen is RotoBaller's QB1 for 2026 and should be the expected 1.01 in most superflex drafts.

Lamar Jackson News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:08 AM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and other offensive players seem to be fans of new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who will be calling plays for the first time in his career under new head coach Jesse Minter in 2025. "It's a different system than what I'm accustomed to being in, and I feel like there's going to be a lot of explosiveness this year," Jackson said. "The way [offensive coordinator] Declan [Doyle] calls plays and his creativity with his mind -- how detailed he is -- it's mind-blowing. I'm excited." The two-time MVP QB will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing and injury-plagued 2025 season in which he threw for only 2,549 yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 13 starts. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver called Doyle "a human computer." With Jackson lined up more under center under Doyle, he'll be an obvious bounce-back candidate in 2026 if he can avoid the nagging injuries that dogged him last year. Despite a down year in 2025, Jackson isn't going to come at much of a discount as an obvious top-five fantasy QB because of his elite dual-threat abilities at the position.
