Matthew Stafford News
Saturday, September 26, 6:27 AM
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off a much-needed standout performance, bouncing back from Week 1 with 327 passing yards and four touchdowns in Week 2. He achieved those impressive numbers despite not having Puka Nacua (hip) at his disposal, and Nacua is expected to miss Week 3 against the Denver Broncos, too. This week's matchup is certainly tougher than last week's for Stafford, as Patrick Surtain II and the Broncos have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks in 2026. Nevertheless, Stafford has the top-tier passing skills needed to overcome a tougher matchup like this one and remain in low-end QB1 consideration. After all, he's coming off an MVP season in which he tallied 46 touchdowns to just eight interceptions. RotoBaller's experts have Stafford ranked as the QB15 for Week 3.

AJ McCarron News
Wednesday, February 14, 2:08 PM
The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Wednesday that they released quarterback AJ McCarron. The Bengals signed McCarron back in November for more quarterback depth after starter Joe Burrow (wrist) was lost for the season. The 33-year-old veteran signal-caller appeared in two contests for Cincinnati in relief of Jake Browning down the stretch and went 4-for-5 for 19 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He'll be searching for a new team to play for this offseason. The former fifth-round selection of the Bengals in 2014 out of Alabama has a 63.1 career completion percentage with 1,192 passing yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in his seven years in the NFL with Cincy, the Houston Texans and the Las Vegas Raiders.
