Joshua Dobbs Throws Two Touchdowns on Saturday, Secures QB2 Role in Detroit?

Saturday, August 29, 5:06 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Joshua Dobbs put together a strong performance in his team's final preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, completing 15 of 19 pass attempts for 128 yards and two touchdowns. Dobbs was signed by Detroit midway through the summer after the surprise retirement of former Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The veteran Dobbs is competing with undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer for Detroit's QB2 job behind starter Jared Goff. However, Dobbs outplayed Altmyer on Saturday and may have solidified himself as the Lions' backup quarterback to open the year. Assuming he makes Detroit's 53-man roster, the Lions will be Dobbs' seventh team as he heads into his seventh NFL season. His last extended run of playing time came in 2023, when he threw for 2,464 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across 13 games (12 starts) split between the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings. As long as Goff remains healthy, Dobbs should not be on the radar of fantasy managers.

Mac Jones News

Mac Jones Remains a Deep-League Superflex Stash

Tuesday, November 10, 10:15 AM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones took the final three kneel-downs in Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders and has yet to attempt a pass this season. Dianna Russini reported that the Minnesota Vikings checked in on Jones before Tuesday's trade deadline and found San Francisco's asking price too high. Minnesota is set to send a 2027 third-round pick to Las Vegas for Kirk Cousins, according to NFL Network. Brock Purdy has started all eight games this season and thrown 17 touchdown passes heading into Sunday's visit to the Dallas Cowboys. Jones is worth a bench spot in deep Superflex leagues where most starting quarterbacks are already rostered, especially for managers who start Purdy. When Purdy missed time with a toe injury in 2025, Jones threw for 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns in eight starts. He attempted at least 39 passes in five of those starts and topped 300 yards three times. His quietest start came against the Atlanta Falcons, when he threw for 152 yards without a touchdown on 26 attempts.
