Justin Herbert News
Saturday, May 30, 8:50 AM
Following an Offensive Rookie of the Year win in 2020 and a 5,000-yard passing season in year two, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert peaked as high as the QB1 in consensus dynasty rankings. Since then, he's had fantasy finishes as the QB11, QB17, QB12, and QB10, and had nearly fallen out of dynasty's top 10 by the end of his second season in Greg Roman's run-heavy offense. Heading into 2026, the Chargers hired former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel to run the offense and have begun shaping the roster to match his scheme. Los Angeles added quality pieces at fullback and tight end, which should, in theory, create more one-on-one opportunities for Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, while free agent Keaton Mitchell and fourth-round pick Brenen Thompson add game-breaking speed. With a healthier offensive line, the Chargers could have one of the most improved offenses in 2026, and yet Herbert's dynasty stock has been relatively unimpacted, as he still sits at QB9 in RotoBaller's latest rankings. Only 28 years old and likely priced close to his floor, he has become one of this offseason's most attractive buy candidates.

Justin Fields News
Monday, April 27, 5:26 AM
The Kansas City Chiefs sent a 2027 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets to acquire quarterback Justin Fields at the start of the league year, and the former first-round pick could be the team's Week 1 starter if Patrick Mahomes is not yet fully recovered from the ACL tear that cost him the final three weeks of the 2025 season. Now playing for his fourth team in as many years, Fields has been a massive disappointment by NFL standards, but his rushing upside has made him a legitimate fantasy week-winner at almost every stop. With one year remaining on the $40 million deal he signed with the Jets, what he's able to show in relief of Mahomes becomes all the more significant before hitting the open market again in 2027. For dynasty managers who have held Fields this long, the opening weeks of the season could be the final chance to recoup anything of value for RotoBaller's QB35.
