Kirk Cousins News
Thursday, June 11, 8:30 AM
Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is entering his first season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2026. Cousins' production has fallen off considerably in recent years, and he finished 2025 with 1,721 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 10 games (eight starts) for the Atlanta Falcons. The 37-year-old appears set to enter training camp as the nominal QB1 in Las Vegas. However, Cousins is highly unlikely to hold the starting job for the Raiders all season long after the team's selection of quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the number one overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Even if Cousins opens 2026 under center for Las Vegas, he may struggle to put up fantasy-relevant production in an offense that is light on pass-catching talent outside of star tight end Brock Bowers. Cousins also averaged just 6.4 yards per pass attempt with the Falcons in 2025, his first season under seven yards per attempt since 2013. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable moving on from Cousins ahead of 2026.

Cade Klubnik News
Wednesday, June 10, 5:56 PM
New York Jets quarterback Cade Klubnik (back) didn't take the practice field on Wednesday, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. The rookie quarterback is reportedly dealing with back tightness, so he'll get the day off to rest. The team expects Klubnik to be back and ready for next week's minicamp. The fourth-round pick is currently competing for the backup role to begin the season. The assumption is that Geno Smith will be the starter, but it's possible Klubnik pushes for the starting gig. Nonetheless, it sounds like a minor issue, so the Clemson standout will be ready to practice again soon.
