Kirk Cousins News
Monday, March 30, 9:50 AM
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the team is "hopeful for a reunion" with veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but he also said that they have talked with free-agent QB Kirk Cousins and his agent as another possibility for the backup role in 2026, per Rams beat writer Stu Jackson. The 37-year-old Cousins is on the open market after the Atlanta Falcons officially released him at the start of the new league year earlier this month. He's biding his time for the right situation, which could come in Los Angeles if Jimmy G departs. As Cousins nears the end of his career, he won't have any fantasy football appeal unless an injury to a starter forces him into action again. If he were to sign with the Rams, he'd be sitting behind reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford. The four-time Pro Bowler was benched in favor of Michael Penix Jr. in 2024 and then appeared in 10 games (eight starts) in 2025, throwing for 1,721 yards, 10 touchdowns, and five interceptions while going 5-3 as a starter down the stretch.

Dak Prescott News
Wednesday, March 25, 5:37 AM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has missed significant time in three different seasons, all occurring within the last six years, but of the seven seasons in which he played at least 16 games, he has finished as the QB8 or better five times, only once finishing outside the top 12, all the way back in 2018. And yet he is currently being drafted around QB17 in dynasty startups. Longevity is certainly working against him as he enters his age-33 season, but for contending teams, he is a severely undervalued asset who has finished as the QB3 and QB6 in his last two fully healthy seasons. The Cowboys' offensive core remains intact heading into 2026, with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Javonte Williams, and Jake Ferguson forming one of the most fantasy-friendly surrounding casts in the league, and Brian Schottenheimer enters his second season as head coach having already shown a propensity for pushing the ball downfield. Prescott's 4,552 passing yards in 2025 marked the second-highest total of his career, and while his rushing efficiency has declined in recent years, he's one of the few quarterbacks in the league who is a consistent threat to top 30 passing touchdowns.
