Matthew Stafford News
Friday, June 12, 6:40 AM
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford put together a career year in 2025, throwing for 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns across 17 games and winning his first NFL MVP award. Entering 2026, the veteran signal-caller should once again have a strong ecosystem around him in Los Angeles and has a good chance to be the leader of one of the NFL's best offenses. Even still, Stafford is facing likely production regression as he heads into his age-38 season. Stafford's touchdown rate spiked to 7.7% last year, a significant jump from both his 2024 rate (3.9%) and his career mark (4.8%). Because Stafford offers zero upside as a rusher, even a slight regression in his touchdown rate would significantly impact his fantasy production. Additionally, Stafford still faces heightened injury risk given his age and history of back and neck issues. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore taking advantage of a clear sell-high window on Stafford.

Dak Prescott News
Tuesday, June 16, 9:21 AM
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Tuesday that quarterback Dak Prescott (knee) will be limited at mandatory minicamp this week with a "sore knee," according to Tommy Yarrish of the team's official website. However, Schottenheimer added that it's "nothing we're concerned about." The Cowboys aren't going to push their star QB during minicamp. The 32-year-old veteran should be all systems go for the start of training camp at the end of July, but we'll be keeping a close eye on his knee anyway. Going into his 11th year in the NFL, the four-time Pro Bowler will be a low-end QB1 target for fantasy managers after throwing for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 starts for the Cowboys in 2025. Prescott's lack of mobility as a rusher limits his overall fantasy ceiling, but he has one of the best one-two punches in the league at receiver in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to make up for it in one of the most pass-friendly offenses in the league. RotoBaller has Prescott ranked as the No. 10 fantasy QB for the 2026 season.
