Lamar Jackson News
Saturday, March 28, 10:38 AM
After back-to-back first-team All-Pro selections in 2023 and 2024, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson struggled through an injury-marred down year in 2025. The 29-year-old missed four games due to back and hamstring injuries and finished the year with 2,549 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Perhaps due to his injury issues, Jackson also had the least productive rushing season of his career, totaling 349 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 67 attempts. However, Jackson should be fully healthy heading into 2026. When he's on the field, the two-time MVP remains perhaps the most dangerous dual-threat quarterback in the NFL. Across 17 games in 2024, Jackson threw for 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns while rushing for 915 yards and four scores. Jackson still profiles as an elite quarterback option in dynasty formats heading into 2026.

Jalen Hurts News
Wednesday, March 18, 3:38 PM
Despite the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles on offense in 2025, quarterback Jalen Hurts was still a top-12 fantasy signal-caller with 3,224 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 16 regular-season games. The 27-year-old former second-round pick in 2020 was also named to his third career Pro Bowl. However, Hurts ran the ball 105 times, his second-fewest attempts in six seasons since his first year in the league, for 429 yards and eight touchdowns. Hurts had at least 10 rushing touchdowns in each of the previous four seasons. Philly's offense was out of sync often, which led to the dismissal of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after just one season. Hurts and receiver A.J. Brown seemed to have a disconnect, which could lead to Brown being traded this offseason. That certainly wouldn't help Hurts' fantasy value, but with a boost in rushing opportunities, he could vault back into the high-end tier of QB1s in 2026. Hurts has a high fantasy floor because of his rushing ability, as his eight rushing scores in 2025 ranked fourth among all QBs.
