Matt Corral News
Friday, August 16, 4:35 PM
Free-agent quarterback Matt Corral is signing with the Minnesota Vikings after they placed first-round selection J.J. McCarthy (knee) on Injured Reserve. McCarthy suffered a torn meniscus earlier this week and underwent season-ending surgery as a result. Corral will likely compete with Jaren Hall for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart as Sam Darnold is slated to start and Nick Mullens to serve as the backup. Corral was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Corral then joined New England but never once saw the field with these two teams. Fantasy managers should expect Jaren Hall to serve as the No.3 quarterback in Minnesota as he started in Week 17 last season and served as the emergency quarterback on several occasions, but if Corral looks sharp in the preseason, he could make the final roster.

Sam Howell News
Tuesday, March 10, 7:40 PM
The Dallas Cowboys have signed quarterback Sam Howell to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Howell's journey around the NFC East continues; the former UNC product has already spent time with the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, and he also made two appearances with the Seattle Seahawks in 2024. That 2024 campaign was the last time Howell saw game action, and at this point in his career, he's more of a steady backup option than a potential NFL starter. That explains why he's heading to Dallas, where he'll compete for the No. 2 quarterback job alongside Joe Milton III (and behind Dak Prescott). Howell's 26 total touchdowns in 2023 revealed his encouraging upside, but he also had 21 interceptions that year, pointing to some real turnover concerns. Fantasy managers should leave him on waivers in all leagues (including dynasty formats) as long as Prescott remains healthy.
