Lamar Jackson News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:08 AM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and other offensive players seem to be fans of new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who will be calling plays for the first time in his career under new head coach Jesse Minter in 2025. "It's a different system than what I'm accustomed to being in, and I feel like there's going to be a lot of explosiveness this year," Jackson said. "The way [offensive coordinator] Declan [Doyle] calls plays and his creativity with his mind -- how detailed he is -- it's mind-blowing. I'm excited." The two-time MVP QB will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing and injury-plagued 2025 season in which he threw for only 2,549 yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 13 starts. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver called Doyle "a human computer." With Jackson lined up more under center under Doyle, he'll be an obvious bounce-back candidate in 2026 if he can avoid the nagging injuries that dogged him last year. Despite a down year in 2025, Jackson isn't going to come at much of a discount as an obvious top-five fantasy QB because of his elite dual-threat abilities at the position.

Kyler Murray News
Thursday, July 2, 11:22 AM
Quarterback Kyler Murray is in a much better situation with his move this offseason from the Arizona Cardinals to the Minnesota Vikings, where the former No. 1 overall pick is expected to win the QB1 job over former first-rounder J.J. McCarthy, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com. The 28-year-old former first overall pick in 2019 out of the University of Oklahoma played in only five games in 2025 in his seventh and final year in the desert due to a foot injury, and he wasn't impressive before the injury, throwing for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions on 161 pass attempts. As long as Murray is healthy, a bounce-back season should be coming under QB guru and head coach Kevin O'Connell with an upgraded pass-catching group that includes receivers Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, and tight end T.J. Hockenson. The best part for fantasy managers is that Murray is going to come pretty cheap after his injury-plagued season and due to the fact that he hasn't officially been named Minnesota's QB1 just yet. Target him as a low-end QB2 in upcoming drafts with dual-threat upside and bounce-back potential.
