Lamar Jackson News
Tuesday, June 16, 5:36 AM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson followed up back-to-back MVP-worthy performances and a dominating QB1 finish in 2024 with a disappointing QB20 finish in 2025, missing four games and hampered by back and hamstring injuries for much of the season. By all accounts, Jackson heads into 2026 close to full health and with a new offensive scheme better designed to take advantage of his unique abilities. Jackson has had the highest passer rating in the league off of play action in each of the past two seasons, but it was used sparingly in Todd Monken's shotgun-heavy offense. With the Bears in 2025, new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle saw his team use play action at the second-highest rate in the league, contributing to Caleb Williams' QB5 finish. Even at 32 years old, five-time Pro Bowler Derrick Henry poses one of the league's most serious threats with a head of steam, which should open up the passing game significantly when Jackson goes under center. At RotoBaller's QB4, Jackson is at his lowest value in the last three years, and with a potentially heightened passing ceiling to go with his unmatched rushing upside, he could ultimately become the biggest steal in 2026 dynasty startups.

Drake Maye News
Tuesday, June 2, 5:50 AM
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was the MVP runner-up in his first full season as a starter, and with the Patriots officially trading for three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown on Monday, he gets not only a new number one weapon, but one who marries up perfectly to his own rare abilities. Maye's 1,149 passing yards and 18 touchdowns against man coverage in 2025 were both top-four numbers in the NFL, and since 2022, Brown has ranked first in receptions, first in receiving yards, and fourth in receiving touchdowns against man coverage. Maye was arguably the best deep-ball thrower in the league last season, with a number one downfield target in Kayshon Boutte, who has never topped 589 yards in a season, while Brown has built a career out of dominating at the second level. While the Patriots are not acquiring the prime version of Brown, who received an MVP vote in his first year with the Eagles, he is undoubtedly the top receiver that Maye has had in his young career. With Romeo Doubs and a well-rounded supporting cast also getting a boost by being allowed to slot into more natural secondary or tertiary roles, it should come as no surprise if the 23-year-old Maye, currently RotoBaller's dynasty QB2, claims the top spot in the rankings by season's end.
