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.

Jaxson Dart News
Tuesday, June 16, 9:00 AM
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart burst onto the fantasy scene as a rookie in 2025 after taking over as his team's starting quarterback in Week 4. The 23-year-old put up modest numbers as a passer, throwing for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions across 14 games (12 starts). However, Dart was one of the best running quarterbacks in the league, recording 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 86 attempts. The Giants' passing game still has some question marks entering 2026, but Dart should have an improved group of pass-catchers following the return of wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) from injury and the addition of tight end Isaiah Likely in free agency. If Dart can take an incremental step forward as a passer while maintaining his effectiveness as a rusher, he could emerge as one of the top dual-threat quarterback options in fantasy football. Dart's dynasty stock is rising entering 2026.
