Mac Jones News
Thursday, April 16, 8:12 PM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones is one of the more productive backups in the league, offering the ability to come off the bench and keep his team in the game. We saw Jones handle plenty of starter reps in 2025, as he started eight games last year with 2,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He even got onto the fringe of the fantasy radar by ranking as the overall QB16 from Week 2-10. However, as soon as Brock Purdy was healthy enough to play, the Niners turned to him and sent Jones to the bench. There was some speculation that Jones could be traded this offseason if the 49ers felt he was too valuable to leave on the bench. Nothing is stopping the Niners from making that deal now, but remaining with the team this deep in the offseason seems to be a pretty good sign that he'll stick around. Jones has upside when he gets onto the field, but given how difficult the roster crunch can be in fantasy football, managers don't need the former first-round pick clogging up their bench spots. He can be dropped to waivers in most formats.

Cameron Ward News
Friday, April 24, 6:01 AM
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward is fresh off a rookie season in which three of his four leading pass-catchers were also rookies, and with the selection of Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, his surrounding cast has only gotten younger and more dynamic. Tennessee spent big in free agency to acquire former Giants receiver Wan'Dale Robinson on a 4-year, $70 million deal following a 92-catch, 1,014-yard campaign in 2025. They are also expecting a return to health from veteran Calvin Ridley, who managed only 7 games before a broken fibula ended his season, but whose 43.3 receiving yards per game led the team. While leaning on the youngsters, Ward showed marked improvement down the stretch of his rookie season, throwing 10 of his 15 touchdowns from Week 11 onward, while adding both of his rushing scores. The Titans have seven picks remaining after making two selections on the first night of the draft. If they can address an offensive line that ranked as one of the least efficient in 2025 pass protection, Ward should continue making strides into Year 2, and Tennessee's offense as a whole could be among the league's most improved.
