Marcus Mariota News
Friday, May 8, 12:28 PM
After appearing in just six games (zero starts) between 2023 and 2024, Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota was pressed into starting duty in 2025 thanks to myriad injury issues for Washington QB1 Jayden Daniels. The veteran Mariota performed adequately, throwing for 1,695 yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 11 games (eight starts). Mariota's fantasy appeal comes from his ability to use his legs, as he rushed for 297 yards and a score on 50 attempts. With Daniels healthy heading into 2026, Mariota should slide back into a backup role. Given Daniels' injury track record dating back to his days in college, dynasty managers may want to consider stashing Mariota in a bench spot. Still, rostering Mariota is a deep-league play at best, as he offers little upside beyond capable QB2 production as he enters his age-33 season.

Caleb Williams News
Wednesday, June 10, 5:37 AM
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was responsible for some of the most memorable plays of the 2025 season, and while the obvious wow-factor has garnered him accolades and video game covers, there is plenty about his game that can still be cleaned up on his path to superstar status. Williams finished 32nd in the league with a 58.1% completion rate, while only J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr. had a higher rate of off-target throws. Head coach Ben Johnson has built a dynamic offense around the 2024 first overall pick, and if the third-year quarterback can do a better job of keeping things on schedule on early downs, there is no reason the Bears can't have one of the most fantasy-friendly units for this season and beyond. Williams is RotoBaller's QB7 with the ceiling to be a fantasy league-winner, and if he can raise his floor in 2026, he should become an every-week starter.
