Lamar Jackson News
Sunday, September 13, 6:27 PM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continued to show why he is considered one of the best in the game on Sunday. Jackson came ready to play during the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 17-of-25 passing attempts for 324 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. Jackson also rushed the ball seven times for 40 yards and another touchdown during the Week 1 victory. The Ravens have a new offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle, but that didn't impact Jackson's play on the field. When healthy, few players in the game can match the talent level of Jackson. He'll remain an elite fantasy option heading into the Week 2 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints.

Tyler Shough News
Monday, September 14, 1:00 PM
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough shook off a rough first half to post a monster performance in his team's Week 1 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, completing 35 of 56 pass attempts for 410 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Turnovers were an issue for Shough, as he also lost a fumble in addition to throwing the two picks. However, the 26-year-old nearly led his team all the way back from a 21-point deficit by leading touchdown drives on four of the Saints' final six possessions of the game. Shough was impressive down the stretch of the 2025 season after taking over as the Saints' QB1 in Week 9, throwing for over 1,300 yards and collecting eight total touchdowns over the team's final five games. If Week 1 is any indication, he could be in line for a year-2 breakout in 2026. Shough profiles as a must-start quarterback in two-QB formats, and he's worth targeting on the waiver wire in 12-team, single-QB fantasy leagues as well.
