Kirk Cousins Could Make Starts for Raiders in 2026

Saturday, April 4, 2:10 PM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that the money that the Las Vegas Raiders gave veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins indicates that he "could or maybe should end up being the starting QB" to begin the 2026 regular season. Somehow, Cousins will be guaranteed $20 million in 2026, with almost half of the money being paid by the Atlanta Falcons, who released the 37-year-old at the start of the new league year. Even though the Raiders are expected to take Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick at the end of April, Cousins is expected to be the team's Week 1 starter as they let Mendoza sit and learn early on in his first year in the NFL. The four-time Pro Bowler played in 24 games (22 starts) in his two years in Atlanta and completed 65% of his passes for 5,229 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions. At best, he'll be a low-end QB2 option for those in superflex fantasy leagues in 2026, and his run as Vegas' starter could be short-lived, depending on his performance and Mendoza's development.

Hunter Henry News

Hunter Henry Could Be Impacted by NFL Draft

Friday, April 10, 5:48 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been a reliably steady fantasy presence at an often overlooked position, rarely busting and providing occasional week-winning performances on his way to four top-12 finishes over the past seven seasons, including a career-best TE7 finish in 2025. He was an early offseason winner when the Patriots allowed Austin Hooper to return to Atlanta in free agency and replaced him with Julian Hill, who profiles more as an inline blocker. However, Henry is 31 years old, and with tight end regarded as one of the deepest positions in this year's draft, the team will almost certainly be looking to add his eventual replacement to the roster. New England recently hosted Georgia's Oscar Delp on an official visit and has reportedly met with several players at the position throughout the pre-draft process. The Patriots are also still rumored to be interested in a post-June 1st trade for A.J. Brown, which would add additional red zone competition, further lessening Henry's dynasty value.
