Patrick Mahomes News
Tuesday, June 30, 3:09 PM
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is "trending toward being cleared for 11-on-11 work at the start of training camp." The plan is for the Chiefs to be smart with Mahomes, but he has been present for installs, individual work, and seven-on-seven workouts in spring practices. His arm has looked good, even though his rehab for a torn ACL and LCL limited his throwing work over the last six months. The 30-year-old two-time MVP and six-time Pro Bowler is way ahead of the normal ACL/LCL rehab timeline, so barring a setback this summer, Mahomes is fully on track to be ready to roll for the Week 1 Monday night showdown against the division-rival Denver Broncos. It's all good news for Mahomes' fantasy value going into his 10th year in the NFL, but coming off a major knee surgery in a Chiefs offense that wasn't quite itself in 2025, fantasy managers would be wise to target him as more of a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 in 2026 instead of the high-end QB1 that he was earlier in his career. Mahomes has failed to reach the 4,000-yard mark in each of the last two seasons.

Jaxson Dart News
Thursday, June 25, 8:50 AM
New York Giants new head coach John Harbaugh said that second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart is "adjusting really well" to the new offensive scheme this offseason, according to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic. Dart will be working mostly with new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, offensive assistant Greg Roman, and passing-game coordinator and QBs coach Brian Callahan as he looks to take the next step following an impressive rookie campaign in the Big Apple. Nagy has worked previously with Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, so Dart should be in good hands. However, under Harbaugh and Roman, the Giants almost certainly will lean more on the running game. The most important thing that Dart needs to work on is not exposing himself to big hits when he takes off as a runner. The 23-year-old former first-rounder out of Ole Miss took over as the Giants' starter early in 2025 and finished with 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 14 games (12 starts), adding 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 86 carries. Dart has clear high-end fantasy upside because of his dual-threat abilities as a runner and passer. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 12 fantasy QB going into 2026.
