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.

Jalen Milroe News
Tuesday, May 26, 12:36 PM
A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe appeared in just three games and did not record a pass attempt in his rookie season. With Sam Darnold locked in atop the Seattle QB depth chart, Milroe enters 2026 in a competition with Drew Lock for the team's backup job. Without an injury to Darnold, Milroe's path to immediate fantasy production is blocked off. However, the 23-year-old remains a solid stash candidate in dynasty formats because of his profile as a dual-threat quarterback. In his final collegiate season at the University of Alabama in 2024, Milroe threw for 2,844 yards and 16 touchdowns while rushing for 726 yards and 20 scores. In deeper leagues, Milroe could profile as a solid buy-low target for dynasty managers.
