Matthew Stafford News
Tuesday, March 3, 11:02 AM
When asked about quarterback Matthew Stafford's contract status as he enters the final year of his deal in 2026, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said, "We've had great dialogue... We'll work through all of those things." Stafford signed a two-year, $84 million contract with the Rams in May of last year before proceeding to win 2025 MVP honors in his 17th season in the league. The three-time Pro Bowler just turned 38 years old, though, and he's essentially playing on a year-to-year basis after contemplating retirement this offseason. Still, L.A. can afford to give Stafford a raise after he threw for a league-high 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games on 597 attempts. Staying healthy for another full season will probably be Stafford's biggest challenge in 2026, but if he's on the field, he should put up big numbers again with an amazing WR duo in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

Joe Burrow News
Sunday, March 15, 10:36 AM
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow missed nine games in 2025 with a Grade 3 turf toe injury that required in-season surgery. It was the second time in the last three years, and the third time in his career, that he missed significant time due to injury. When healthy, Burrow is among the most gifted quarterbacks in the league, and playing with a supporting cast of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will always have him in position to put up huge fantasy numbers, however, his 226 passing yards per game in 2025 marked a career low, and his 2.1 touchdowns per contest were down significantly from his 43-score season the year prior. It bears noting that Burrow's performance after returning from injury more closely resembled his MVP-candidate form, topping 23 fantasy points in five of his final six outings, with one forgettable performance against Baltimore.
