Matthew Stafford News
Monday, April 20, 7:02 PM
The Los Angeles Rams and MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford have made "significant progress" on a new contract extension that should put him in the building for the 2026 offseason, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. A deal is not done yet for Stafford, whose current contract runs through the 2026 campaign, but head coach Sean McVay said earlier this year that he thinks Stafford could play beyond the upcoming season. The 38-year-old veteran and three-time Pro Bowler was present for the start of the team's voluntary offseason program, but it doesn't mean he'll be around for all workouts as he continues to work towards a new extension. The Rams also plan to put Stafford on a pitch count this offseason, which means he could be a limited participant in training camp this summer. The injury risk with Stafford is very real at the tail end of his Hall of Fame career, but it's hard to ignore his career-high 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 passing yards during the regular season in 2025 in L.A.

Dak Prescott News
Tuesday, April 14, 7:24 PM
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a terrific 2026 season, ranking as the overall QB6 in fantasy football. Despite lacking rushing upside, Prescott was a top fantasy option with his 67.3% completion rate, 4,552 passing yards, 32 total touchdowns, and 12 turnovers. The 32-year-old bounced back in a huge way after his injury-shortened 2024 season. In each of his last four seasons with 13+ games played, Prescott has ranked as a top-eight fantasy quarterback. Staying healthy is easier said than done, but if he can remain upright and on the field, the Mississippi State product has tremendous fantasy upside. There's also a lot to love about the passing volume in Dallas; last season, Prescott led the NFL in completions (404) and had the second-most pass attempts (600). With CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson all returning to this passing game for the 2026 campaign, the veteran quarterback should remain quite busy throwing the ball to a talented group of receivers. His current evaluation as the QB15 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings reflects his age (32), but dynasty contenders looking to win now should absolutely pursue a trade for Prescott this offseason since he has top-five upside at an affordable price tag.
