Kyler Murray News
Friday, May 29, 10:29 AM
Veteran quarterback Kyler Murray's time with the Arizona Cardinals came to an ugly end in 2025, as he struggled across five starts before suffering a foot injury that ultimately ended his season. However, the 28-year-old is healthy and ready to go entering 2026, and he landed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings over the offseason. While Murray is nominally in a quarterback competition with J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota, the widely held expectation is that Murray will assume the team's QB1 role. With the Vikings, Murray will work with a play-caller in Kevin O'Connell who has orchestrated multiple successful quarterback reclamation projects. Murray also has a pair of excellent wide receivers to throw to in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. While Murray's career has taken a turn for the worse in recent seasons, he still carries high-end dual-threat fantasy upside. Across 17 games in 2024, Murray threw for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 572 yards and five scores. If he can stay on the field in 2026, he has a golden opportunity to revitalize his career with the Vikings.

Trevor Lawrence News
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.
