Kirk Cousins a Low-Cost Dynasty Add That Could Pay Dividends

Tuesday, April 28, 5:36 AM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins signed a two-year deal to serve as a bridge quarterback until first overall pick Fernando Mendoza is ready to take over. At the NFL's Annual League Meeting, new head coach Klint Kubiak shared his belief that a rookie quarterback should learn behind the scenes for as long as possible, and shortly thereafter, Cousins was brought in on a team-friendly contract. Kubiak also expressed a desire to split backfield carries before adding Mike Washington Jr. in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, so he appears to have a clear plan in his first year at the helm. The Raiders have made notable improvements to the offensive line and defense a year after earning the first overall pick by going 3-14, so Cousins could be provided ample leash to allow Mendoza to develop into an NFL professional. As a quarterback expected to start more than a handful of games in 2026, he could be drastically underpriced as RotoBaller's dynasty QB47, and how he looks to open the season could determine his future value should the Raiders allow him to hit free agency again in 2027 at the age of 38.

Trevor Lawrence's Dynasty Value Remains High Despite Quiet Jaguars Offseason

Thursday, April 30, 5:25 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost veteran running back Travis Etienne Jr. to free agency and are expected to see 2025 second overall pick Travis Hunter spend most of his time on the defensive side of the ball in year two. In the 2026 NFL Draft, outside of dedicated run-blocking tight end Nate Boerkircher, they did not add any offensive weapons until later in day three, and yet the dynasty value of quarterback Trevor Lawrence remains at a two-year high, reflecting his strong finish to the 2025 season, the quality depth around him, and an anticipated leap in his second year in Liam Coen's offense. Lawrence finished his fifth season with 4,007 passing yards, 359 rushing yards, and 38 total touchdowns, pacing as the fantasy QB1 over the final 10 weeks of the season. Even without Etienne, and with limited expectations on Hunter, the Jaguars feature one of the more dynamic groups of pass catchers in the league with Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and tight end Brenton Strange. Jacksonville's running back trio of Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr., and LeQuint Allen Jr. also offers untapped intrigue, and at RotoBaller's dynasty QB11, Lawrence appears poised to finally reward managers who held him through some of his leaner years.
