Patrick Mahomes News
Monday, April 20, 6:54 PM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee that he suffered in the Dec. 14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, was present for the start of the team's offseason program on Monday, according to Dave Skretta of The Associated Press. "So he goes to the meetings. He can lift, do all that. Rehab. That's the phase he's in right now," head coach Andy Reid said. "We'll just see. Kind of play it by ear. See where he's at. He's doing great, but we've just got to be smart with this thing." The goal continues to be for the two-time MVP to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in early September. We'll continue to monitor Mahomes' progress and how much he's able to do on the field as the team's offseason program progresses. The Chiefs now have Justin Fields as QB insurance in case Mahomes isn't ready for Week 1. Mahomes should still be considered a QB1 in fantasy, but coming off his serious knee injury, he might carry the most risk he has ever had going into an NFL season.

Justin Herbert News
Tuesday, April 7, 9:55 PM
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is coming off his best fantasy season since 2021, and there's a real chance that he could continue to trend upward going forward. Herbert was the overall QB10 in fantasy football last season, tallying 26 passing touchdowns but throwing 13 interceptions. It was his highest interception since, ironically, that aforementioned 2021 campaign. Managers should be optimistic about the future outlook of the first-round pick, given the state of the offense. For starters, the Chargers hired offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, a potential play-calling mastermind who can maximize the potential of his players. The Chargers also made a concerted effort to bolster their league-worst offensive line. Now, Herbert will have Cole Strange and Tyler Biadasz in front of him, and he should also get star tackles Rashawn Slater (knee) and Joe Alt (ankle) back from injury. The only glaring subtraction is wide receiver Keenan Allen, but Herbert should still have plenty of reliable targets in Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Oronde Gadsden III. With a solidified offense around him, Herbert can be a top-10 fantasy quarterback with top-five upside in 2026 and beyond. He's an intriguing target in dynasty leagues this offseason.
