Matthew Stafford News
Tuesday, March 24, 7:48 AM
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is aging like fine wine. The 38-year-old made his third career Pro Bowl and won the first MVP award of his career in his 17th year in the league in 2025 after throwing for a league-high 4,707 yards, a league-high 46 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 17 regular-season starts. He then added a league-high 936 passing yards and a league-high six touchdowns in three postseason games before the Rams fell short to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship. With one of the best receiving duos in the league in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams coming back in 2026, Stafford should remain in the QB1 picture in all fantasy formats. However, as he nears 40 years old, Stafford will also be one of the bigger injury risks at the position. In dynasty/keeper leagues, you're stoked if you have a strong roster around him, but if you don't, he's an easy sell high candidate who could be playing the last year of his career in 2026.

Brock Purdy News
Wednesday, April 1, 9:11 AM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy got a new weapon at his disposal this offseason after the team signed veteran wide receiver Mike Evans. While Evans saw his 12-year streak of 1,000-yard seasons come to an end in 2025, he's still a superstar pass-catcher and a clear upgrade over last year's de facto No. 1 receiver, Jauan Jennings. Purdy will now get to throw to a stacked group of players, including Evans, Ricky Pearsall, George Kittle (Achilles), and even Christian McCaffrey. The former seventh-round quarterback ultimately appeared in nine games last year, ranking as the QB24 with 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Extrapolated over a full 17-game season, he would have set a new career-high in touchdowns (38), but also interceptions (19). The 26-year-old will look to clean up the turnovers while remaining an effective passer, especially around the goal line. He has top-10 fantasy upside for 2026 and is still a decent offseason target in dynasty leagues.
